Printing and Imposition question

[Tomislav Gorsic]

Hi,
I have several problem with FM Pro 6.
1. how many record I can print in one file (I have document with 137501
record and I can't print more then 32767 record-pages)
2. Imposition records on page. I know how can I position record from
left to right, or first up, second bellow first, third bellow second
(this is standard in layout setup).
I would like print 6 records on page but not in standard position, I
would like to print in this order:
1. step: first record is up, second is behind the first record, third
record is behind the second... 1000 record is last,
2.step: record 1001st is bellow the first (on same, first, page), then
1002nd record is behind 1001st... till 2000 record is last
3. step: now we have record number 2001 who is bellow 1001st record etc.
etc.
Now I have 1000 pages with 6 records on each page and this is 6000
records.
This order, is important for me, because when I cut records on knife, I
get 6 parts of record who is sorted in order: from 1,2,3....1000, then
from 1001,1002,1003...2000, then 2001,2002,2003...3000, then
3001,3002,3003...4000, then 4001,4002,4003...5000, and from 5001...6000.

My question is can I made all in FileMaker or I must combined FM with
other programs (for imposition example)?

If somebody know what I write pleas sent to me email.
Thank You.

P.S.
Sorry on my bad English.

Add a number field called SortBy. Find and sort the records in the order
you want them (1...6000). Use the Replace command to fill the SortBy field
with the following calculated result:

Mod (Status (CurrentRecordNumber) - 1, 1000)

Now add SortBy to the top of your sort order and sort again.

I would prefer to keep it in the group, if possible. That way there are
many following along who can help you if I can't.

Try to describe the problems you are having. I'm sure we can get through
them and get your report working as needed. If that fails, you can email me
at [email]schwandtg@aol.com[/email], but keep in mind that it may be some time before I see
it.
