Concatenate PageNumber and PageCount

[ADW]

I am trying to concatenate the report page numbers with the page count; however, I keep receiving this error "Parsing error on or around position 12 in the expression: 'PageNumber()||PageCount()'  ".  I have tried to use the CAST function with this expression and still receive errors. Can anyone provide some assistance on this issue? Can this be done?

If their only purpose is to be displayed, then just put them separately on the report.

Humm, you'd think that would be something that everyone would want to see. Thanks!

Fair enough ... did you try number2string(PageNumber()) + number2string(PageCount()) but that might be actually a Cognos 8 report function.

No, I didn't try that!!  :o I'm new to the application and learning all the time. I will give it a shot and see.

In Cognos 8, the function is available in the report functions tree node.
