I appreciate the efforts those who attempted to provide an answer to  
the above question that I posed but it seems that I did a poor job of  
explaining what I am trying to accomplish.  Let me try again with a  
little more detail.

A document must be created that will accompany items that are to  be  
delivered to a customer.  The header of the document provides several  
lines of general information that do not need to be repeated on other  
pages of the document.  I am using PFONEHEAD to only put the header  
on the first printed page.  Following the header will be from one to  
a thousand data lines, one for each item being delivered.  The grand  
total section of the form will contain some summary information.

I need to place a page number on each page of the document.  I would  
normally do this in the header section but I do not want to repeat  
the large header on each page of a landscape format.  What I would  
really like is a one line header on pages two and on, which could  
include the page number.  But it doesn't seem that filePro can  
accommodate a second smaller header.  In lieu of the smaller header,  
I am looking for a way to place the page number on all pages  
following page 1 but I don't see how do so using the filePro report  
format.  Attempts to use the J option within the F8 choices in Define  
Output have been unsuccessful unless I place @PN in the header and/or  
trailer sections, or in every line of the report.

I would greatly appreciate any ideas to solve my problem.  Many  
thanks in advance.
