How to display repeated information on each page when multi-page printing is used?
Quite often when multi-page printing is used it may be necessary to display repeated information on each page.
For example, on printing a report:
Display report name and the current date on the first page.
Display data area title, dimension selection and the current page number on each even page.
Display dimension selection, the current date and time and the current page number on each odd page.
On printing the data area display its header, heading and sidehead.
A data table used to build a visualizer is taken as source data.
The report is printed on several pages:
On printing the report the following information must be displayed:
On the first page - report name.
On each even page - data area title, dimension selection and the current page number.
On each odd page - dimension selection, the current date and current page number.
