Larry & Dan,
Again with the shot in the dark...
If you know what triggers the Overflow Pages to be used, let same 50
lines of customer transactions, then wouldn't it be possible to
create a rule that calculated how many total pages (the main page +
overflow pages) would be composed.
Once you have calculated:
All records requiring 1 page
All records requiring 2 pages
All records requiring 3 pages
After you have that, create either a summary sheet or simple print
results to the final composition mess. file.
You now have at least something closer then nothing at all.

I am using Overflow Pages and the $pagecount works great on them.
But what your saying is there is no way to total after composition.
This would be a great enhancement.

If you're changing Body Page Usage, then you could certainly keep
track of how many pages you enable for each record. But if you're
using Overflow Pages, then I don't know of any way to get those
kinds of metrics from the composition in terms of the actual
number of pages composed. That would be an interesting
enhancement. A related enhancement (although harder to implement)
would be to allow the current page number to be used in the
context of a rule on a specific page.
You should go ahead and post the question to the forum anyway,
because (a) it will let us know if other people are looking for
that functionality, and (b) Marketing will see it coming directly
from a customer and add it as an enhancement request. Also,
someone out there may have thought of something that I haven't.
