Oracle Reports--how to shade every other line of report??

Seems like a simple problem. I would like to be able to shade (highlight) ever other line of my report for readability. My intended apporoach is to put a format trigger on the affected fields, and assign SRW.ATTR.MASK to whatever values are appropriate. This so far is all straightforward. My problem is, how do I obtain the NUMBER of records printed so that I may use this to determine if any given record is odd or even? (shading odd, not shading even, or vice versa) Received on Thu Oct 05 1995 - 00:00:00 CET
