Q140222: PRB: Cannot Use _PBPAGE or _PEPAGE to Control Pages for Report

Article: Q140222
Product(s): Microsoft FoxPro
Version(s): WINDOWS:3.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): 
Last Modified: 10-FEB-2000

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The system variables _PBPAGE and _PEPAGE do not control the range of pages in
the REPORT FORM command. Further, using this expression:

     REPORT FORM <XXX> FOR _PAGENO > 2 .AND. _PAGENO < 4

does not produce the desired range of pages. However, if you do not specify a
beginning range, the correct number of pages is printed. Currently, there is no
way to specify a range of pages to be printed in a report.


STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Create and save a report using the Report Designer.

2. Create a program that contains the following lines:

     PRINTJOB
       _PBPAGE = 2
       _PEPAGE = 4
       REPORT FORM <name of report> PREVIEW
     ENDPRINTJOB

3. Save and run the program. All pages of the report print.
