Report Question

[asm338s]

I am using the 'REPORT FOR' command to send the output to a file. I want it to print only the first 19 record on the first page and the rest on the second page. Following is the coding that I am using:
ON PAGE AT LINE 20 EJECT
REPORT FORM ABC.FRX FOR nName NEXT 19 TO ....FILE
Now, if i say
REPORT FOR ABC1.FRX FOR nName REST TO....FILE, it prints all the records. for some reason it is moving the record pointer to the top. I tried GOTO RECORD 20 IN tableused, between the 2 reports, but it still prints all record for the name specified.

Instead NEXT , REST try recno() < 20 , recno() > 19

I would do it a little different

use dbf order tag from cdx
set filter to whatever
goto top
report form xxx next 20 to file xxx
goto top
skip 20
report form xxx rest to file xxx
set filter to David W. Grewe
