Richard,
You might be able to try something like this (untested code):
COMPUTE AFTER PAGE; /* PAGE is your proposed variable and NOT a key word */
TEXT='';
IF PAGE=8 THEN TEXT='footnote text here';
LINE TEXT;
ENDCOMP;
The LINE statement cannot be nested within an IF block so you are forced to
conditionally reset another text variable from a null state to contain your
footnote text, i.e. the footnote will always print, but the footnote will be
a blank line for all pages except for page number 8.
As for why you would be getting the footnote after each patient, I wouldn't
expect the problem to be with your BREAK AFTER PATIENT statement. I would
however check the values of PAGE to ensure that it is being set correctly.
HTH,
Tom
