If I correctly understand what you need, then I think you might need to
consider using the standard header to put down page numbers and the
linke, and doing your "big header" from an @ONCE.

This may require you to put a Big Long *PL on your data line, and
compose the "Real" data lines manually, but that's sometimes what you
have to do to convince dreport to do other things you need; it's just
another example of the Institutionalised Workaround so common to
filePro.
