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.

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 ...

  • Repeating frame(s) not continuing to next page

    Here is what I have:
    grp 1 r-frame 1
    grp2 r-frame 2
    grp3 r-frame 3
    grp4 r-frame 4
    r-frame 5
    r-frame 6
    r-frame 7
    grp1 r-frame 1 will not continue to the next page when I have multiple grp3
    r-frame3 records (there will be 1 record for 1 of the frames under that, the others are suppressed). grp 4 has page protect and contract, grp3, grp2 and grp1 has page protect and variable. I am trying everything to get it to continue to the next page and it won't. The example is it will produce only 12 of the grp3 and underlying records when there are 36 grp3 records. Is it something really stupid that I am missing or can I get a couple of hints as to why?
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I tried to understand your question and you want to continue grp-3 to next page, and you are expecting to print one grp-4 on each page along with 1,2 and 3.
    The way you set the properties look fine. but what I can suggest is:
    Please set all frames properties to "Vertical Elasticity to Expand" and "Page Protect to NO".
    Now start setting the two properties as you like from child (most detailed) frame to top most parent frame and keep checking output for every change.
    Hope you can solve this.

  • Frame line not display in next page of main window

    hi Xpert,
    I am creating layout in SAP SCRIpt,it working fine only the main window of next page  frame line is not display.
    i m define next page as a FIRST page and writing main window of first page following coding
    /:           POSITION XORIGIN '0.50' CM YORIGIN '7.75' CM
    /:           SIZE HEIGHT '17' CM WIDTH '19.25' CM
    /:           BOX  FRAME 10 TW
    when i run the program first page are coming properly and only when i go in second page of output then main window lines not displaying.
    please guide me how to solve this problem.
    Regards,
    pravin

    Hi Praveen,
    In that case why you have to make the main window in the first page and secondry window.
    You can use it as manin window itself. Print the total amount in the main window itself in the first page. and copy that main window to the second page.
    In the first page under the main window create a text. and there u print the total value and text.
    Now copy the main window to the second page..only COPY DONT CREATE NEW.
    In the second page now under the main window create the table to print the line items. What every u add in the second page main window it will come in the first age also in the smartforms. But it will nto get printed in the first page.After the text to print the totals call the COMMAND option and call next page in that.
    Hope you got me..

  • Repeating Frames running over more than one page

    Hi I have developed an Oracle Report. It is a nomination form having 7 to 8 pages. FYI..Input is a Pin Number. So, the customer can either enter one pin or can select many pins from the browser and depending on the selection he needs to either print one form or many forms at a stretch. So i want a repeating frame to be enclosed all the other frames. But if i do that, then i am getting an error
    "REP-1212: Object R_13 is not fully enclosed by its enclosing body" since the repeating i introduced spans over all the pages in the report.
    Please let me know the solution for this asap.
    Thanks in Advance

    Make sure the repeating frame is variable vertically and that all the frames that it encloses are variable.

  • How do i make a frame a enclosing a repeating frame appear only on the last page of a report?

    I have a frame that encloses a repeating frame. How so i make them print only on the last page?

    Assuming you have other content, you could:
    set the Print Object On property to be last page.
    anchor it to the main content that repeats on every page, so this frame only prints after the other one is done
    Assign a format trigger where you make it display only if current page is equal to total number of pages
    create a trailer and move the frame there

  • Restrict Repeating frame header to print once per page

    is there any way I can restrict the repeating group header to print only once per page, inspite of the fact that the group has now changed ??

    Hi,
    There is an option in Frame properties -> Show objects in -> you can choose first page so that the objects will be displayed in the first page.
    What do you mean by 'group has now changed'?

  • Reducing blank area around printed pages doc....

    After printing a pages document, based on the 'Flyer' template, the white border around the document is massive. In fact the actual printed area matches very closely the size of an A5 page. I have checked the page size, and unless there is a setting for it I have missed, it is A4 sized. In fact, I can show Pages' rulers to confirm it thinks the page is 21.0 x 29.7cm.
    Retrying with a new tempplate, before editing it, prints as I would expect, right up to the very edges of the paper.
    I have been through all the Instector pages and I can't see anything I recognise as the fault, that doesn't necessarily mean that it definitely isn't there somewhere though. I think I may have messed around with the little blue arrows in the rulers at one stage but finding them again doesn't answer it.
    The only clue I have is it displays the page, when I'm editing it, with a large grey space to the left of the document, which looks about the same size as the missing page area. This document concerns the sale of a very expensive piece of property so it is quite important to me.
    I enclose this picture hoping it will make answering the question easier...

    Perfect answer!
    That's fixed it... thanks Peter!

  • Display 'continued' if repeating frame runs over to another page.

    I have a repeating frame of wildly varying lengths. If I don't page protect the frame, then sometimes there are one or two lines that run over to the next page and get lost. If I do page protect the frame, sometimes very little prints on a page and I get large blank spaces.
    Ideally, I'd like to take out the page protect and let the frame run over but add something like "continued on next page" before the page break and "continued from previous page" after the page break.
    An ideas?

  • 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.
    Regards

  • Need help with repeating Subforms on the next page

    I have created two different flowable repeating subforms, for example - subform1 and subform2 in a document with an action button for each to add another subform on the next page.  After subform2, I have two buttons - one to add subform1 again or add subform2 on the next page. When I click the button, Livecycle adds the new subform as commanded but the subform is added directly after the previous same subform not on the next page as requested.  I have tried to change the pagination settings but nothing seems to work.  Can anyone help me define how to get the repeating subform to add to the next page and not after the same subform?

    OK, so here's what I would do.
    1. Wrap your subform1 and subform2 in a subform. I'll call it sfMaster.
    2. Change your minimum instance for subform1 and 2 to 0 or uncheck the box, and set the initial count to 1. (That way you get at least one of each when we start.)
    3. have the buttons create a new instance of sfMaster, then remove the instance of the subform you didn't want within that most recent instance.
    So, what the user sees is a new subform1 or 2 each time they hit a button. And they'll appear in whatever order they choose it. The user doesn't have to know that what is actually happening is the creation of a new "master" subform that holds both subform1 and 2.
    To help illustrate what I mean, I've added a pink border around sfMaster and colored subform1 and 2.
    Binding options for Subform2 (Subform1 would be similar)
    What it looks like in action
    If you want to guarantee it appears on the next page, you'll need to add the conditional break from earlier. Keep working with it to get the settings just right. You may even want a docReady() event that creates two sfMaster's and sets one to have Subform1 and the other to have Subform2.

  • Relative positions of repeating frames

    Hi,
    I have two repeating frames in a report with the page direction of the first set to 'Down/Across'. I want the second repeating frame to print following the first frame(if the first frame ends halfway thro the second column in the page, i want the second frame to start right there). Your ideas are appreciated.

    How about anchoring the repeating frames together?

  • Repeating frame over flow into next page

    I have a report, on the first page of which I have a repeating frame. On the second I have only different paras of text.
    When ever the repeating frame on the first page, returns data more than it can fit on the first page, it is getting printed on the second page. But as a result the text of the second page is being pushed down.
    It also creates a gap between the place where the repeating frame data ends and the text of the second page starts. How to avoid this gap.
    What is the solution . Please share.

    Hi Nag,
    Thanx for your question.
    1. As you know its difficult to simulate the problem
    through a sample report. I would like to know
    which version of reports are you using?.
    2. I suggest to surround your second repeating frame and the last paragrphs with a normal variable frame.
    I mean include the second repeating frame and the last group frame into a variable frame that spans over the two pages. then you should set the "print object on" to "first page" and to "enclosing object"
    for all parent frames.
    3. if it does not work .Try this one too: To avoid the gap use "Anchor", anchor the last paragraphs frame to the second repeating frame by minimizing the gap between them(See help online about anchoring).
    Hope this helps,
    CB
