Hi,

When I show the contents of a batch output file to the screen it shows all pages in it.

But when I use to print to the screen with the print/preview statement it shows only first 2 pages. The other pages are not showed. With the buttons Prev and Next I can scroll but only 2 pages.

In the output file there is FF characters (FormFeed) before each page header.

If I remove one of these then the page is showed in the current page.

This occurs in 9.7 and even in 10.3 version. 

Is there a solution for this problem?

Hi,

print/preview is front-end functionality aiming to give enduser a feedback with a partial output as soon as possible, to enable user decision to complete or to stop current execution.
On the other end in "batch mode" a (printing) component is always completing its execution before proceeding.

Putting together "print/preview" and "batch mode" it sound to me as a little mistake.

IMHO you should choose which is your way:
- to use print/preview to give user a quick but partial feedback
   OR
- to execute a full (printing) functionality to enable enduser to see the complete result.

Gianni
