If you need to manipulate page numbers,:
1. Main Menu | Report | Actions | Before Generate ...
SET VAR vCurrentPageNumber INTEGER = 0 ; RETURN
2. Enable Cache Pages option
Main Menu | Report | Cache Pages (default is set to OFF)
3. Right-click on Page Header Band | After Generate Custom EEP ...
SET VAR vCurrentPageNumber = (.vCurrentPageNumber + 1)
You saved the code, but forgot to reference the original author.
Here's the original post ...

Here is a very simple and eloquent approach to achieve such goal.
While in Report Designer:
01. Define a global variable, such as vCurrentPageNumber, as
On "Before Generate ..." Report Action
Main Menu | Report | Actions | Before Generate ...
CLEAR VARIABLE vCurrentPageNumber
SET VAR vCurrentPageNumber INTEGER = 0
RETURN
02. Enable Cache Pages option
Main Menu | Report | Cache Pages
The default is set to OFF
03. Now capture the current page number using the following EEP as
After Generate Custom EEP ... for Page Header Band
Right-click on Page Header Band | After Generate Custom EEP ...
SET VAR vCurrentPageNumber = (.vCurrentPageNumber + 1)
RETURN
This approach will provide you with a global variable which you
can capture to achieve your specific objective.
And that's all there is to it!
Very Best R:egards,
