     I'm not sure exactly what the problem is.  If you are running a
"processing only" processing table and then you issue the command:

FORM "form1"

followed by,

FORM "form2"

don't the two forms print right behind one another on the printer?

    If you need to run dreport with a "-F form1" option, you could make form
1 double sized, then put all dummy variables on page 2.  If you don't want
anything to print on page 2, don't put anything in the dummy variables and
use the "remove unwanted blank lines" option to close up the blank lines.
(Be sure to put a non-printable character in a variable in each line of page
1, so that you don't lose the spacing on that page.)

    Or, are you trying to do something else?
