PM30890: RPE: Stylesheet ignored Same as Previous settings

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If the header or footer is set to 'Same as Previous' in the Word
  stylesheet on the page RPE begins writing to, this setting is
  ignored. This occurs when you do not apply a master page in the
  RPE template (.dta), and you set the Header as 'Same as
  Previous' in the Word Stylesheet (.dot), the output does NOT use
  Same as Previous'.
  
  Steps to recreate problem:
  1) Create a Word stylesheet with the following properties:
  -has 2 pages of front matter with header/footer defined
  -insert a next page section break
  -on the 3rd page, set the header/footer to Same as Previous
  2) Use an RPE template that does not have the master page set OR
  an RPE template that has the Master Page set to 'same as
  previous'.
  3) Generate report
