The Page Header band is used to output information such as page numbers, dates, and company information at the top of a page. The Page Header band is output at the top of every page of the report. An unlimited number of Page Header bands can be placed on a page.
Note: The number of Page Header bands that can be placed on a page is effectively unlimited other than by available space.
Example
Create a new report and drop three bands on a page: a Page Header band for the current page number and number of pages in the report, a Data band to output data and a Header band band to output data column headers. Drop a text component on the Page Header band and enter the following expression in the Text Property Editor:
{PageNofM}
Note: If you prefer instead of typing the expression it is possible to select it from the System Variables in the Expression Editor.
The result should look something like this:
Now run the report, and you will see that the page number is printed at the top of each page.
