selective form printing

[Daniel Bauer]

That's exactly the problem as far as I understand the form command doesn't
work in output processing.  I also tried making the form 120 lines and
blanking out all of the variables on lines 61-120 if I didn't want the 2nd
page but I was still getting a blank 2nd page. It's a fairly complicated
form so I was looking for an alternative route.

|      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?
