    try this..
    
    if its a WPSPLUS document, after you press P hit next screen, PG
    (pagnigation setting). change the AUTO PAGINATE to N .

Is the report created within ALL-IN-1, and what editor or word processor is 
used to create it?

How is the report sent to the ALL-IN-1 systems?

When the report is received by the ALL-IN-1 system, what is its Data type 
and Handling.  The Data type and Handling will determine if ALL-IN-1 
formats the report during a print operation, and which formatter will be 
used.  

It sounds like ALL-IN-1 may be formatting the report when this is not 
required.

Here is more info:

	The reports are originally created thru COBOL into VFC format
	files. If left in this format and the files are mailed to
	either VAXMAIL or ALL-IN-1, both of these mail functions
	reformat the files into variable lenght files with no more
	forms feeds in them, (ALL-IN-1 will put in its own form feeds).

	To alleviate the form feed problem we converted the files
	from VFC format to variable length format and put it manual
	form feeds where they were in the VFC format. So now, we can
	VAXMAIL these reports with out affecting what the report is
	supposed to look like with the proper form feeds in place.

	ALL-IN-1 will recognize the form feeds we put in there now,
	but the problem is that ALL-IN-1 still wants to put in it's
	own form feeds. I would like to have ALL-IN-1 not put in its
	own form feeds.

	Thanks for any help you can give,

From your description of how you create your reports they will be handled 
as ASCII files.

I'm assuming that when the reports are mailed to ALL-IN-1 users they end up
as ALL-IN-1 messages.  To investigate this further I need to know the
following information about the ALL-IN-1 message: 

    o	the Data type (will probably be ASCII)

    o	the Handling (will probably be blank)


This information can be displayed by selecting the message and doing 
Gold-V.

	Yes, the Data type is ASCII

	And Yes, the handling is blank

What version of ALL-IN-1 are you using?

It's probable that your system is set up so that ASCII messages are 
formatted using the WPS-PLUS formatter instead of the ALL-IN-1 ASCII 
formatter.  The ALL-IN-1 ASCII formatter will not insert additional form 
feeds, but the WPS-PLUS formatter will.

The formatter being used can be determined by doing the following:

    1.  Print the message and press NEXT SCREEN when the "Printing 
	Document" is displayed.

    2.  If the WPS-PLUS Formatter Print Settings menu is displayed then
	your system is set-up to format ASCII messages using the WPS-PLUS 
	formatter.


You can force the message to be formatted using the ASCII formatter by:

    1.	Selecting the message

    2	Use the U (Update) option and set the Handling to "ASCII FORMAT".

The 'ASCII FORMAT' handling is new in ALL-IN-1 V3.0.  If your system is 
V2.4 then 'WPSPLUS NO FMT' is the best alternative, as you have discovered.
