All,

When I have no records selected in an INFORM report, the heading does not print. Users are asking the admin staff if a print job was printed. Is there a way I can force the heading to print if no records are selected, or is there a way I can place the report name in the Unix spooler banner page? I get a banner page with no records selected, but I think it is from the Unix spooler. Maybe set an environment variable to put into the banner?

Hi Jon,
You could try using the FORCE keyword which should force the heading to be displayed/printed even when no records are selected. An example below:

>LIST VOC WITH TYPE = "XYZ" FORCE



LIST VOC WITH TYPE = "XYZ" FORCE 06:46:30am 21 May 2021 PAGE 1
NAME.......... TYPE DESC..........................


0 records listed.

>LIST VOC WITH TYPE = "XYZ"

0 records listed.

Thanks,

Neil
