Crystal Reports Number of copies
Hi there
We are using Crystal reports to do reporting work in our add ons.
Does anyony know if number of copies can be set internally in a crystal report itself? We want to make the number of copies depending on a formula/function build withing a crystal report.
We know it is possible to set number of copies from outside by setting a property at crystal report object but from inside ...?
Thanks for your help
Kurt
Hi Kurt,
As we haven´t found any "easy" way, we usually do a simple trick for this, but is dependent on the way we manage the Crystal Report.
All our reports are based on views with parameters. So if we need 2 copies of a reports, what we do is to change the view. Instead of a SELECT statements we put the SELECT statement, UNION the same SELECT statement.
This returns 2 results, and we manage them in the Crystal Reports.
Hope helps,

Number of Copies in Crystal Report Layout
Hi all,
Is it possible to show the number of copy in a Crystal Report layout?
I mean: I am creating an invoice layout in Crystal Reports for SAP Business One 8.8.
Customer wants to print always 3 copies, but with the word "Copy" in second and third document.
I can set the number of printed copies but... is it possible to include a reference of what number of copy is every document?
Sorry for any language mistake.
Kind Regards,
Toni DortaHi Toni,
If the customer always prints 3 copies of the Invoice, here is what you could do. You could design your Crystal Report to always print 3 copies. That is, if your Invoice has 1 page, then design your Crystal Report to Print 3 pages every time. On the 2nd and 3rd page, you include the word "Copy" to indicate that they are copies.
Once you have modified the report, change the No: of Printed copies to 1. This when the customer prints the report, it will always print 3 copies of the report and have the word "Copy" on the 2nd and 3rd invoices.
Hope this helps.

Setting the number of copies to be printed through crystal reports?
I posted this in another section and got redirected to this one.
So I'm working with some software that utilizes Crystal Reports 10, and am looking for a method where through Crystal Reports I can take a user entered parameter value and set that as the number of copies for the printer to print. This isn't an option in Crystal Reports itself, so I understand I may need to dig a little deeper and write some customization to accomplish this.
I've been building Crystal Reports for about two years now, all self taught, but have never had to go this far, where/how would I start on this? And I tried searching for a similar question in these forums to see if it's come up before but couldn't find anything. I'm kind of stuck at the moment because I can't alter the software that's using Crystal Reports to set number of copies, so I want to see if I can do anything in Crystal.Really, this is actually more of a report design question, though I understand why they's ask you to post here also.
Anyhow, I think what you are asking is; can I design a report such that it will internally hold how many copies it should print(?).
Answer to that is no.
Only way to do multiple copies would be to modify the app you are working with. E.g.; go to the authors of the app and ask them for an enhancement to their product so that you can print multiple copies.

Print multiple copies of a crystal report
Hi,
We have a crystal report that always has to be printed 2 times.
We don't want the user to have to enter a '2' at the 'number of copies' option when printing the report.
We would like the report to know for itself it has to be printed twice.
I know it's possible to create a 'main report' and have two subreports linking to the same report, so it would print two times.
This is not possible in this case due to already existing subreports.
Another option is to have some extra table with only two records, and use those two dummy records to create a group (so the reports gets printed twice)
This isn't an option too.
Is there no way to using a formula and some counter in the report itself ?
Many thanks in advance,
VincentNo, try setting the default printer to do it. Or you'll have to write an application do it.

Print multiple copies in Crystal Report
Hi All,
I have created layouts with Crystal 2008 . I need to print first copy as original , second as duplicate and the third as triplicate . I know it is possible using PLD but i need it in CR. Is there any work-around for this problem ? I am using SAP Business One 8.8 PL 10 , Crystal Reports Basic 2008 and SQL Server 2008.
Thanks in advance
Regards
ARUNHi Arun
Create a view which has a record for each copy and the docentry. I tested using the view below but it could easily be extended to include the object type and be useful for all documents.
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[Test_Copy]
AS
select 1 as 'CopyNo',
'Original' AS 'CopyDesc',
DocEntry AS 'InvDocentry'
from oinv
union
select 2 as 'CopyNo',
'Duplicate' AS 'CopyDesc',
DocEntry AS 'InvDocentry'
from oinv
union
select 3 as 'CopyNo',
'Triplicate' AS 'CopyDesc',
DocEntry AS 'InvDocentry'
from oinv
Add this view to your layout and inner join to docentry of the OINV table
Add the copy number as the main group level, before the document etc.
You will then need to fiddle around setting the current page header details into the group 1 header and sort the paging out but you will get 3 copies.
Hope this helps

Changed number format in vs 2008 versus crystal report format
I am using Crystal report designer 11.0.0.1.282 and I am able to see the numbers in the format I want . example is the year 2012,2013, etc.
I don't want any decimal point to be applied to this like 2013.00 because it is just the year and it should be 2013. when I ran the report in preview inside the designer , everything looks fine. but when I ran the report from our client application, the year format comes as 2013.00
In the Crystal report designer, I have checked the File menu /Options , when the Options dialog that opens up , I have selected Fields tab and have chosen the Number field and have selected the Style for the numbers through all the report to be -1123
the report used to show up with correct format up until a couple of weeks ago, so I am not sure what may have caused this. I was hoping there might be a solution to this.
I have attached how the year shows in the chart legend both in designer and from our client application (VS2008)
greatly appreciate any help and if you could point me to right directionYour System properties may have changed. If the field is set to system it will use what ever your defualt system is set to. Change the field to use format:

Excise Invoice number range not being picked by crystal reports
Hi all,
We have a Crystal Report that generates the Invoice document based on the invoice number which is an input a parameter. The report is built on 'SAP Table,Cluster or Function' type connection. The Invoice numbers are updated into the source system. Current invoice series is *****0001,.....****0052,****0053,****0054.............****0100......****0111,****0112,*****0113.
The problem is that the Crystal Report is working fine till ******0111 but it is returning a blank values for Invoice numbers ******0112 and others following. We checked the data in the SAP system and the details for Invoice Numbers ******0112 and others are available in the SAP system.
While i select the Excise Invoice number field of the corresponding table and clicking on browse data it is showing invoices upto ******0052.
Please help.
Thanks and Regards,

How to limit row number per group without change new page in crystal report
Hi All Expert,
Is there any way to limit row number per group without change new page in crystal report 2008. The reason i do that is due to customer using printer EPSON LQ 300 (dot matrix) always will print in landscape if detech my layout in landscape. Because they need the record always print in 1 page (Letter size) for 2 groups and each group must show 5 records. Example:
But, in CR2008, if you set the row per group from group section expert, definitely it will change to new page, but I do not want it change to new page. Any Idea?
In one page (Letter size):
Group Name: Customer-ABC
NO INVOICE AMOUNT
1) INV001 USD100
2) INV002 USD100
3) INV003 USD100
4) INV004 USD100
5) INV005 USD100
Group Name: Customer-ABC
NO INVOICE AMOUNT
6) INV006 USD100
7) INV007 USD100
8) INV008 USD100
9) INV009 USD100
10) INV010 USD100Hi Angie.....
I guess it is not possible.
Because if you have one common group for all the 10 records then in one page it will show 10 records under one group.
I mean i think it is not possible but m not completely sure......
Lets wait for expert advise....

Crystal Reports 2008 Viewer Syntax error number: -2146827286
I have CrystalReportViewer12 installed on Apache/Tomcat 6. I have configured all components as necessary: installed jars and setup web.xml/CRConfig.xml. I can get the report to display appropriately in my jsp page. But when I try to use the Go To Next Page button I receive the following error:

Thanks.Translating the error message on bablefish I get:
Mistake with the store of the data bank information. Mistake in the file Report {C6512421-348A-4621-B1ED-895D28646A0A} .rpt
Which I'm sure is not 100% accurate, but it gives a good hint. As well, because of this:
"Do I need to install an additional / diffrent runtime than 2008 Runtime"
I wonder how you installed the CR 12 runtime on that computer? For more info on CR runtimes, see [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0] wiki.
If my suggestion above does not help, make sure the Win\temp directory can be accessed buy the application. Crystal Reports runtime needs to write and read files from the temp directory.

Number field on crystal report displays Exponential form.
Number Type field on crystal report printed in Exponential form when digits in this field are more than 17.
Hi Jay,
The same issue is addressed in the K-Base article c2005336. This is the limitation in Crystal, If you have more than 15 digits of numberic field it will convert into Exponential
Use database-level syntax to convert the numeric database field to a string so that Crystal Reports will interpret it as a string type, and display all of the characters.
For example, in Oracle, cast the number using to_char() and in Microsoft SQL Server use CAST() or STR() prior to adding the field to the report.
As a workaround to display all the number, I would suggest you to convert it to text using a SQL Expression Field. A SQL Expression field will be evaluated on the database server.
I would suggest you to follow the below mentioned steps to create SQL Expression field and convert a database field to a string:
1. Open the report.
2. Right click the SQL Expression field which is present in the Field Explorer.
3. Select New and copy and past the below-mentioned text.
CAST ("Database Field" as varchar)
Note u201CDatabase Fieldu201D Here you have to mention your database field.
After you create the SQL Expression Field, insert it on the report and it will display the full number.
Please note that no calculation can be made on that field since it is now a string.
I hope this helps you.

Crystal Report Crosstab Page Number Issue
Hi Gurus,
I am creating the crystal report which has variable column fields, so the number of pages are variable.
The issue is, When i place the page number on the footer, It display only at the end of the page saying '1 of 1', I read lot of forums regarding this issue but didn't get resolved yet.
My crosstab is in the report header, I even tried the dummy group and placed the cross tab in that group. In that case i am getting '1 of 1' in all the pages.
Can you guys please help me to resolve this issue
Thanks
VijayHi Vijay,
Try this Knowledge base article : It works for all cr versions
Symptom
In Crystal Reports (CR) 9, a cross-tab needs to have page numbers for its virtual pages in the format:
"1", "1-1", "1-2", and so on.
How can the virtual pages of a cross-tab be numbered?
Resolution
Virtual pages can be numbered by conditionally formatting the 'Display String' property of a Cross-Tab field.
Displaying Page Numbers in Cross-Tab Virtual Pages
1. Right-click the top-left of a cross-tab and click 'Cross-Tab Expert'.
2. In the 'Cross-Tab Expert' dialog box click the 'New Formula' button, then name the formula 'Page Number'.
3. In the Formula Editor enter a blank space (" ") then click the 'Save' button. Close the 'Formula Editor' dialog box.
4. In the 'Cross-Tab Expert' dialog box select this formula from the 'Available Fields' box and move it to the 'Columns' box. Use the 'Up' arrow for the 'Columns' box to move it to the top of this box.
5. Click the 'OK' button to close the 'Cross-Tab Expert' dialog box.
6. Right-click the 'Column #1 Name' field on the cross-tab and click 'Format Field'. The 'Format Editor' dialog box will appear.
7. On the 'Common' tab click the 'X+2' button next to 'Display String'.
8. Enter the following formula in the 'Format Formula Editor':
global numbervar PageNum;
PageNum:= PageNum + 1;
if PageNum > 1 then "Page # " + totext(pagenumber,0) + "-" + totext(PageNum - 1,0)
else "Page # " + totext(pagenumber,0)
9. Click the 'Save and Close' button to close the 'Format Formula Editor' then click the 'OK' button to close the 'Format Editor' dialog box.
When previewing the report, the cross-tab will display "1" for the first page and then "1-1, 1-2" and so on, for the subsequent virtual pages. Navigating to page 2 will show "2" for the first virtual page followed by "2-1, 2-2" and so on.
Background
'Virtual pages' are the pages on a cross-tab from left to right as opposed to the actual pages that are accessed through the 'Navigation' buttons.
When you create a cross-tab that is wider than the specified page size, CR automatically spans the printing across enough pages to accommodate the width of the cross-tab. In the Preview tab, a line will appear at each page break. -
Hi,
I have a crystal report and a field called source.
The source field can contain more than one records.
When I export it to ms excel then source field is shown in three rows in excel.
Name
Source
Batch No
ABC
A0001
K1
K2
K3
But now I want to export to excel in the following format
Name
Source
Batch No
ABC
A0001
K1
K2
K3
The Name and Batch No field are in Group Header and Source in detail section.
Also the Source field can vary in number i.e. there can be any number of Source.
And I only want this type of output when exporting to MS Excel.
Is there any way to do this?
Please reply.
Thanks.Try this:
1) Create a formula with this code and place it on the Details Section:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar x := x + 1;
stringvar col1;
stringvar col2;
stringvar col3;
if x = 1 then col1 = {Source}
else if x = 2 then col2 = {Source}
else if x = 3 then col3 = {Source};
2) Create another formula and place this on the Group Header:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar x := 0;
stringvar col1 := "";
stringvar col2 := "";
stringvar col3 := "";
3) Create three separate formulae - one each for the three Source columns and place these on the Group Footer:
E.g. for first Source column:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar col1;
E.g. for second Source column:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar col2;
Drag and drop these formulae beside each other on the GF.
4) Move the 'Name' and 'Batch No.' fields from the Group Header to the Group Footer
5) Suppress Group Header and the Details Section.

ThomasDO=Delivery Order in Sales A/R module.
Customer is using Crystal report to print Delivery Order. DO DocNum is parameter in Crystal report for user to select which DO to print out but the selection list did not show all DO No.
I saw similar question in forum. I had added "MaxRowsetRecords" ='99999999' into registry but the parameter still doesn't show all the DONo.
I am using Type=REG_DWORD, value data=99999999 in registry and in crystal report the DocNum parameter is having "Dynamic" type.
Don't know whether the setting is correct. Sorry I am not a Tech guy.
Please advise.
