In overflow situations, when you create a form, always define variable fields with the scope of section and not form or global.
If a form has fields which have a scope of form or global the GenData program does not propagate the data, but the Retrieve function in the GenArc program does. This can cause inconsistent results, such as data showing up in archive which did not show up in the GenPrint program.
| Note | There is only one exception to this rule. If you want data to propagate within headers or footers, you must def |
If you have a field which has the same name as a field on a non-header or footer, that field will also get propagated. Make sure all non-headers and footers have variable fields defined with the scope of section.
