Regarding {This page} in ods pdf

[JasonNC]

Hi,

I have to display page numbers in pdf with a comma format.

For example:1234 as 1,234.

In my DATA_NULL_ i am using {THIS PAGE} option but i can't set the format for {this page} as it is a automatic variable.

Can i set the format for {this page}

I appreciate your patience and support.

Hi:

  Wow! That's a huge file. I do not think that {thispage} or {lastpage} ESCAPECHAR functions can have a format applied to the number used for PDF or RTF output -- I think of the page number(s) inserted by ESCAPECHAR as just being "plopped" down into the file.

  Is there any way to reduce the number of pages, such as with BY group processing???
