At one time I had it in the on after generate and it did not seem to work. But that makes logical sense that variables would not have been generated yet. I will test it again in the on after generate.
My brain is getting too old.

[cid:[email protected]] The code I sent is on before generate EEP in the same page footer area. No variables are defined with a datatype while in the WHILE LOOP. None of the variables in the WHILE loop have anything to do with the report. I am producing a PDF in each loop. Would that not mean the report is starting over in each loop? The WHILEOPT is not checked in the settings therefore should not be an issue.

Or anywhere else within the WHILE loop? e.g. On Before Generate: SET VAR vordertaxamt CURR = 0 Any definition of a variable's datatype must be outside a WHILE loop. Setting a variable's value is ok within a WHILE loop, e.g. SET VAR vordertaxamt = 0 Doug On 7/8/2016 4:23 PM, Jim Belisle wrote: We use RBASE 9.5. I have a report in which I only want certain information to print under certain conditions. I put the EEP in the on before generate EEP of the band. The code is checking for taxable information and misc charges information. Here is the code. IF vordertaxamt <= 0 OR vordertaxamt IS NULL THEN PROPERTY comp_tchg VISIBLE 'FALSE' ELSE PROPERTY comp_tchg VISIBLE 'TRUE' ENDIF IF vmiscamount <= 0 OR vmiscamount IS NULL THEN PROPERTY comp_mchg VISIBLE 'FALSE' ELSE PROPERTY comp_mchg VISIBLE 'TRUE' ENDIF RETURN This reports prints within a WHILE loop based on a cursor that brings up each invoice. If the fields I want to show come up first then the code works. If the information happens to be in an invoice later in the WHILE loop then it does not show. What am I doing wrong?
