Reports 2.5: Portrait/ Landscape problem

Question

I am facing a problem when I print either Landscape or Portrait
formats one after other. I am using the forms 4.5 to run reports
with out dialogue box. When I change the 'ORIENTATION' the margin
also changing, so part of the reports are not printed out.
Can some one help me.
Thanks.

hello MJS!
If I never mistaken, you want to print a report
using form by using run_product built-in procedures and
using this procedures,you set PARAMFORM PARAMETER to
FALSE that's why you didn't see the report parameter
on runtime.And you didn't initialize the
ORIENTATION parameter on this procedure that's
why your orientation is default or depend on
printer setup.
If this is your case then I suggest this solution.
a.)add this parameter on your parameter list
Add_Parameter(pl_id,
'Orientation',TEXT_PARAMETER,'landscape');
b.)In Report Designer open your program then
in SYSTEM PARAMETER you will find ORIENTATION as
one of its parameter list.Check its properties then
set INITIAL VALUE to LANDSCAPE;
I hope this will help. GOOD LUCK!
