Page breaks inside repeating frame

Hi,
I am developing a statutory report for India Localisation. In this report there is a repeating frame which has three sections inside. I want to ensure that each of these section prints on a new page all the time. Of course there will be some page wastage, but since the report is statutory it has a prescribed format which mandates this requirement. Each section is like a tabular column and it doesnt look good if it prints without any page break in between the sections.
Here is what i have tried, I have created three child frames inside the parent repeating frame and I tried to set page break after, page break before and page protect for each of these sections and I also tried various combinations of these 3 settings. But still I couldnot get it right.:-( It will be of great help to me if any one could suggest me a better approach.

Hi,
the "page break" properties are only active in parent-child relationships. So if your frame1 is not expandable vertical, frame2 is no child object ob frame1 and so the property page break after of frame1 is not relevant for frame2. So change your layout, that frame2 is child of frame1 and frame3 is child of frame2, then the page break after will run as you expect. You can do this via the property vertical elasticity or via using an anchor between the frames.

  • Page Break Before & Repeating Frame (Reports 10G - Windows)

    Hi to all,
    I have to give page break when a condition met in a tabular report.Like it s advised I tried some layout objects with page break before property true and wrote their return code true if this criteria occurs. But whatever I tried, I couldnt get my desired output.It gives page break but repeats a blank repeating frame in the next page but only with that object I added later with page break property. Anybody have an idea ?
    Thanks...

    Hi,
    sounds like there's no child object for your object with page break before. This property has only impact of the object itself and all it's child objects. An object is a child object of another object, if the position of this objects has impact of the own position. This is only the case, if the parent object is vertical expandable and the child object is horizontally overlapping the virtual expand-region, or the child-object is anchored to the parent object.
    So if you have this layout:
    blue box fixed size
    red box fixed size
    yellow box fixed size
    and you set page break before to the red box, you will get:
    blue box
    yellow box
    -- page break
    red box
    If the red box is verical expandable you will get:
    blue box
    --page break*
    red box
    yellow box
    So in your tabluar report your field of the report should be in a frame and this frame should be child object of your new object which must be vertical expandable or anchor them together.

  • Page Breaks in Repeating Frame's

    In my report, my query is a 184 column table. Select query is also a 184 column table.
    There are Repeating frames in my layout editor, each contains 10 columns. From the 2nd repeating frame onwards, the page break before property is "Yes". Now if, for the 1st repeating frame there is data (10 columns only) Then the rest of the page is blank. All the page break before property is "Yes" How do I avoid these blank pages

    Hi,
    the "page break" properties are only active in parent-child relationships. So if your frame1 is not expandable vertical, frame2 is no child object ob frame1 and so the property page break after of frame1 is not relevant for frame2. So change your layout, that frame2 is child of frame1 and frame3 is child of frame2, then the page break after will run as you expect.

    please let me know how to solve this problem.

    Hi,
    i have a question related to this.
    i am making a report in a similar pattern:
    *M_1 Main frame start
    R_1 Repeating Frame start
    Data Part 1.
    R_2 Repeating Frame start
    Data Part 2.
    R_2 Repeating Frame end
    R_1 Repeating Frame end
    *M_1 Main Frame end
    Now the problem is that whenever there are multiple occurences of data in R_2, the data Part 1 is also printed that many times, whereas i want to show this just once.
    Is there any way to do this?

  • Group above master/detail report; page break causes repeat of master frame

    Hi
    I have a a group above master/detail report; when there is a page break part way through the master frame it causes the whole master frame to be repeated on the next page. I don't want this to happen, I just want the remainder of the master frame to be displayed on the next page. any ideas?
    TIA

    Hi
    I've tried switching the "Page Protect" to No at the page level and the "Print Object On" is set to "First Page" but it doesn't solve the problem. The whole master frame is repeated on the next page when a page break occurs part way through. The master/detail Repeating Frame "Print Object On" is set to "Last Page".
    Any other ideas?
    TIA

  • Page Breaks and empty frames

    I have several repeating frames, and a Page Break After on each one. This works fine, but if a frame is null/empty, it still causes a page break.
    Is there a way to prevent the page break if the repeating frame has no data?
    I have Vertical = Variable on each frame.
    thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Try using format mask.
    e.g
    if :myfield is null then
    return false;
    else
    return true;
    end if;
    *** :myfield is the data field in that frame.
    Hope it 'll work for you.

  • Parenet frame not letting me to modify inside repeating frames

    We have developed a oracle report which got 4 repeating frames, Now the parent frame is not letting me to select any of the frames/fields inside the frames. What could be the reason? Also Confine Mode is off. Still it is not letting me to select any of the frame/field/text, Please let me know the possible solution.Thanks!

    Use the object navigator to select items and frames. The reason may be that in the arrangement of the layout, the parent frame is in top, and as it cover the repeating ones, wherever You click, it gets selected. On the menu search for arrange and try seding it back until it's below all other frames.

  • Oracle Reports - page numbering for repeating frames

    Hello,
    I have an Oracle Report that has one parent repeating frame containing several children repeating frames. One repeating frame has a maximum of three records per page. If the records do not exceed the maximum, page numbering is fine. If there are more than three records it creates a new page. The new page appends to the end of the report and throws off the page numbering. I changed the source of the page numbering from page number to panel number. The panel number gives the best results. All pages are numbered with the exception of the appended page(s). Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    YES!!!, change the PRINT condition of your
    panel field to ALL instead of FIRST.

  • Page numbering - multiple repeating frames

    Hi,
    It’s a bit tricky in explaining this but I shall try to do my best.
    This is an invoice report with 2 parts (everything in the main section), main invoice and summary. The main invoice is in repeating frame R2 and summary (matrix report) is in repeating frame R3. Both the repeating frames are encompassed in repeating frame R1.
    Each part of the report should have page numbering (1 of 2 type) and the numbering should be independent of each other (for main invoice and summary).
    Main invoice has page numbering reset (both current page number and total number of pages) at R2 and summary's page numbering is being reset at R3. The report is working fine for a single invoice but when running it for multiple invoices the output is as below
    Inv# 100 - Main Section 1 of 2
    ------------------------------2 of 2
    Summary 1 of 1
    Inv# 101 - Main Section 2 of 3
    ------------------------------3 of 3
    Summary 3 of 3
    Inv# 102 - Main Section 2 of 3
    ------------------------------3 of 3
    Summary 3 of 3
    where as the desired output is
    Inv# 100 - Main Section 1 of 2
    ------------------------------2 of 2
    Summary 1 of 1
    Inv# 101 - Main Section 1 of 2
    ------------------------------2 of 2
    Summary 1 of 1
    Inv# 102 - Main Section 1 of 2
    ------------------------------1 of 2
    Summary 1 of 1
    It would be worth not to change the report's design as there are many frames, fields,..... but I don't know how to resolve this numbering problem.
    I am using reports 6i.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Any inputs would be appreciated.

  • Page Numbering on repeating frame with 3 logical pages per physical page

    We have a report in Reports 6i that prints a form on continous multi-part paper. We are converting the report to print to a laser printer with three forms per page. Each form has page numbers in the format of "page 1 of 15". The "page" refers to the form number and the "of" refers to the total number of forms for the outer group. So we could have page 1 of 15 through page 15 of 15 followed by page 1 of 112, etc.
    I have tried all of the suggestions on how to base page numbers on a repeating frame and non of them seem to work. All the examples seem to be based on the idea that the logical page contains 1 or more physical pages; whereas my situation is that I have multiple logical pages on each physical page.
    Does anyone have a thought on how to do this?

    Create one summary column (lets say cs_pagenumber) in inner group and provide following:
    Function: Count
    Source: any field from innrer group
    Reset At: outer group
    Create one summary column (lets say cs_totalpages) in outer group and provide following:
    Function: Count
    Source: any field from innrer group
    Reset At: outer group
    (above will work if one field is printed only once in a form)
    Create a field in inner repeating frame for cs_pagenumber and create a boilerplate text (&cs_totalpages) in the same repating frame for cs_totalpages. This should solve the problem.
    Hope this helps.

  • Adobe Forms page break inside a table

    Hi,
    I have a 50 columns table and I need to print the first 25 columns on a page and the next 25 columns on the following page. Beside this if the number of lines in the table is big enough to flow on a new page I would like to print them like that:
    First n lines (where n is the maximum  of lines that can enter in one page)
    Page 1
    Coumn1 ........ Column25
    Page 2
    Column26..... Column50
    Next n lines
    Page 3
    Coumn1 ........ Column25
    Page 4
    Column26..... Column50
    and so on, until the lines in the table are all printed.
    Thank you very much!

    Hello Ana,
    You can only add a maximum of 20 columns and 50 rows in a single page, the solution would be to conditionally divide the main table as 20xN, 20xN, and 10xN. And regarding the flow on a new page:
    1. If you use the subform for line items, then make the subform type 'Flowed'.
    2. If you use only table in body page then check for Allow page-breaks within content.

  • Text/Label issue - being repeated for every record inside repeating frame.

    Hi
    I have a small issue:
    In the repeating frame, the label (text) for the column is being repeated for every record. How may I have the text (label) appear just once and not for every record?
    Thx!

    Move headings outside of the repeating frame.

    Hi Raju,
    For creating ur own layout you have to edit the par file as said by Vinod and Uma. After daploying this par file  u need to create a new layout template based on the project u deployed so that you can reuse it.
    For creating u r own layout template add a new JSP component in the imported par and deploying the par file. Go to PCD and create a new layout from par. It will show u  com.sap.portal.layouts.default in the next step u will get the new component u created.
    Give it a new ID and name, thats all, It will get displayed in the layouts list.

  • Repeating Frame leaves blank area on next page before record

    I have a report with multiple repeating frames. Near the bottom of the first page the last repeating frame starts to print. If there are too many records to fit on the first page, they show up on subsequent pages. That is OK. However, on the 2nd, 3rd, etc. pages the records are part way down the page with much blank space between them and the header above.
    I would like the records to start at the top of the next page just beneath the header. Also, because of another repeating frame before this one, I can't even be sure if this particular frame will always start printing on the first page.
    I have tried properties such as page break, print object on, page protect, etc. They hve not resolved this issue to date.
    Thanks in advance from a beginner.
    DT

    hello david
    in this case you must consider what is printed on next pages ... for this i recomend newbie to colorize each frame and repeating frame to see what is there. from your describtion is possible that there are some objects on your frame with print condition set only to first page ... so they is not displayed on second, ... pages - this could happen f.e. with added descriptions, colmn heading, ... so my advice is to look why the space is there and then (maybe) make a correction ...

  • Page break not applying when using sub report inside main report

    I have a main report inside which there is subreport (using SQL Server 2012). I placed some page breaks inside subreport but they were not working. I read on technet forums that this is a a known issue with SSRS. 
    One solution I found is to put a table inside main report, then in first row add a rectangle and set its property "Add a page break after" and then add subreport after this rectangle in that table in main report. I did that and now in some cases
    it does show sub report on a separate page but sometimes it shows subreport on same page.
    Could it be because in some case sub report has no or less data (hence it cannot cover whole page) and in that case it will always show on one page? How can I show empty subreport on a separate page?

    I fixed it by clicking both "Add a page break before" and "Add a page break after" in rectangle.
