Hi everybody,
is there some way to setup print page in Report Builder 6?
I know I can use PAGESIZE parameter on command line, but I want to set up
margins besides paper width and height.
Can somebody help please?
Thanks

goto VIEW --> LAYOUT SECTION --> EDIT MARGIN
you can see a heavy black lined box which denotes the
body of your report.
Edit the size and postion of the box to cater for a margin.

OK, it's my mistake, I didn't explain it well
I know the way to setup margins in design mode. But, every time I run
report, margins are set to their original dimensions. When I run that report
without parameter form (immediate printing), margins are not what I made
them in Design mode. When I run report with parameter form, I can set
margins in runreport menu: File -> Page setup. (that I don't want. I want to
run report without parameter form)
So, is there some way to set margins PROGRAMMATICALLY (from command line,
with some printer escapes, or something)
Thanks

sorry. you're still not quite making sense.
there is a big difference between setting the margins
on the page layout settings and the design mode
layout section. suggest you investigate this avenue
further as from your reply you are misunderstanding
the suggested solution.

Sorry if I'm boring, but I'll try once more.
I can set margins in design mode. I also can set pagesize in design mode. I
can even set pagesize with parameter in command line when I invoke
runreport.
But, here is the problem in details:
I have to print report on receipt paper an I need page 3m long. (Printer
allows that size of paper). I've adjust pagesize and margins in design mode.
But, when I try to run report from application (report should be printed
without parameter form), report is always cut off at 29 cm. (printer has a
cutter).
When I try to run the same report with parameter form, in runreport menu
File -> Page Setup, every time I can see length of page set on printer
properly (3m), but bottom margin is, for example, 55 inches. When I set
bottom margin at 0 (or some normal number), report is printed fine. But
EVERY time, I run report with parameter form, bottom margin is set to 55
inches, and report is cut off unless I manually set bottom margin. So,
margins set in design mode are not problem, but printer margins (page setup
in printer properties). When I try to print some very long text from
notepad, there weren't any problems.
Thanks for your time...
