Jim:
Report Footer visible. PCC Label control visible. A '12' code by itself results in the print job not making it into the Windows spooler. The sole advantage of '27 12' is that the print job makes it into the spooler. That it doesn't print means there's a mystery yet to be solved. My workaround is to loop-print individual copies for now. I'll pursue this question with support.

That works for me in reports where I have a break variable that is the first character of last name and I want each change to begin on an odd number pages. I have before generate calculations to determine whether I will print on an odd or even number page an make the pcclabel visible or invisible. In your case the pcclabel should be the final item on the report footer band and always visible. This solution only works when you directly print report to printer. See RBase help for limitations on when pcclables are transmitted.

The PCC Label is in the Report Footer Band, marked 'Visible' for activation. The PCC Label works with ENDDOC, but not my control code format. This is most likely my responsibility: I must verify the code set with HP before we proceed to the question of how to format it for the control. I will report back with a solution.
