If I'm not wrong what ur code does is once entire report is printed it goes to each page of the report and display no. of pages in the first line.

This can't be done in background mode. The only solution I can think about is, before displaying the report find out the possible total no. of pages to be displayed using page size and no. of records in the initial table you are displaying. And use this variable wherever u want to.

Hi,

This doesn't work in the background as nothing is actually been printed on the screen.

I think the only way is to keep track of the number of lines u r printing (may be the no. of lines in ur internal table) & then calculate the no. of pages taking total records, header space & footer into consideration.
