issue with .FF on windows reports

[Ingres Forums]

All,

we have identified a problem which I believe is to do with Ingres report
Complier
we use RW report writer files to generate reports

It seems the report complier on windows expects the .FF command in the
RW file be explicitly coded for to enable printing of form feed
charterers on page break on reports .

Our RW files usually do NOT have the .FF command explicitly mentioned in
the code
I guess the default is for it to be turned ON ?

The same reports does produce form feed on other UNIX platforms ( even
when there is no .FF command in the code )

do we know if this is an issue or it is just simply my understanding
which is not correct

Thanks
Krishna

That doesn't sound right. Does it work if you explicitly specify a .pagelength?

I don't know of any reason why the Windows version of rw would
do pagination differently, so this sounds like a bug to me.

I think report writer has some problems. I call in on the
server(Linux PC) from my client machine. It seems like the
line-counter is inconsistent. When I specify page length, some
times it works and sometimes not.
