This is easy to do in DOS and a real pain in Windows.
Set up your 2 reports up so they are each 30 lines long instead of 60 lines. Actually I think I would set the page length to 0 and physically make the report 30 lines long. Set the first report so it does not do a form feed after the report footer. Be sure to remove initial carriage return on both reports. Put your output to a file, print the first report, then the second report, output back to the screen output to the printer type your file output back to the screen If you need to print multiple rows on one report, and need information after the rows, you will need to set the "report footer line" number in the report to make the footer always land in the same place on the page. These things always take 5 times longer than they should by the time you get everything just right.
