report number

Hi I need to get 3 reports out of the same data and they mainly have the
same data.
But they need to get a unique number based on the date and then 3 different
numbers (one for each report) for the same data, to be continued per sets of
three and it needs to restart at 1 every day.
is this possible at all?
thanks,
Patrick

Your post is very confusing. Can you give us an example of what this number
should look like? Is this number in the report header, or are you trying to
apply it to each line on the report? What is the purpose of this number?
What happens if you print a given report more than once in a day?

the number is just a 2 digit number
it is not a report number / page number it is a reference number for other
people that use the hard copy only

the data is used for 3 similar but different (in output) reports and each
has to have a different number as it is being used as reference. now it is
done manually but I would like it to be done when printed.
I use 3 pages for each set of data the result is only 3 pages each time.
there are more then one inputs per day that multiplies in those different
forms and the number just counts on
data 1 rep 1= 01
data 1 rep 2= 02
data 1 rep 3= 03
data 2 rep 1= 04
data 2 rep 2= 05
data 2 rep 3= 06......
Tks,
Pat
