Gary, I hope you don't mind my replying to the list -
I want to make sure everyone is aware how smart I am
:-)

Right, you will need to keep track of the page numbers
yourself if you want to reset them.  Since you have
some variable length pages, then I would think that
the best way to do this would be to do two passes as I
mentioned before.

First I would create a temporary filepro file that
contains 2 fields - Invoice #, and # of pages.  Then
at the start of your process I would do a
$PFPROG/fp/ddir filename -k on this file.

On the first pass (the one that goes to dev/null) at
the @wbrk that corresponds to the invoice number I
would write out the total number of pages and the
invoice number (make sure you use the write command to
ensure the write since you are using @wbrk
processing).

Then during the second pass these values should be
available to you.

Good Luck
