Output Prints with Two Blank Pages

[Justin Meyer-3]

Hi SPSSlisters!

 

I print output from SPSS 15 frequently. When I do this, I typically
include the filename and date at the top of each page. If I include the
filename and date, SPSS always prints two extra pages: one before the
output with nothing but the filename and date, and another page after
with nothing but the filename and date. I use the GUI to produce the
output, but I have pasted some example syntax below. Does anyone know
why this is happening and how I can fix it? This is a waste of paper.
Thanks for your help and have a great holiday.

Your report specifies 59 lines (really old style line printer stuff) with
separate line feeds. That is interfering with the page compositor (modern
technology) also generating line feeds for pagination. Why not use the
summarize command which do a much better and look a lot, lot better in place
of the REPORT command. With the exception of composite summary functions,
SUMMARIZE with case listings turned off completely replaces the ancient
REPORT command.
