Hello. I am hoping someone can help me with this. Each record (COLORWAY_NAME) prints as a column on my report. I want to restrict it to 4 columns on a page & start a new page for the next four and so on. I am not sure if its the postition() or the mod or the count function I need to use. PLESE ADVISE on which one and HOW to use it. Appreciate any help. Here is a snippet of the XML & XSL code after it. The for-each statement below doesn't work. In the XML below, I want a new page starting for GREEN (after 4 colors). THANKS!

<!-- XML SNIPPET -->

<colorways color_no = "6" colorway_name = "FIELD KHAKI" status = "Y"> </colorways>
<colorways color_no = "12" colorway_name = "CERAMIC GREY" status = "Y"> </colorways>
<colorways color_no = "3" colorway_name = "BLUE" status = "Y"> </colorways>
<colorways color_no = "5" colorway_name = "RED" status = "Y"> </colorways>
<colorways color_no = "7" colorway_name = "GREEN" status = "Y"> </colorways>


<!-- XSL SNIPPET -->

<!--DEFINE PAGE -->

<fo:simple-page-master margin-right="0.5in" margin-left="0.5in" margin-bottom="0.25in" margin-top="0.25in" page-width="11.0in" page-height="8.5in" master-name="standard3">
<fo:region-before extent="0.5in"/>
<fo:region-body margin-top="0.5in" margin-bottom="0.25in"/>
<fo:region-after extent="0.25in"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>

<!-- REPEAT PAGE for > 4 Colorways -->

<xsl:for-each select="//colorways/count(@colorway_name)>3]">
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="standard3">
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">
<fo:table table-layout="fixed">
.
.
.
.
</xsl:for-each>

Hi Sonika,
you should write

<xsl:for-each select="//colorways">

and then add a

<xsl:if test="position() mod 4 = 0">
<fo:block break-after='page'/>
</xsl:if>

Thanks Alberto! I'm struggling with where in my code can I add yours. Can't seem to get it to work. Will uploading my entire XSL help? Thanks again!
