All fields same height in repeating frame

Hi,
If I have multiple fields inside a repeating frame and all fields and the frame are set to vertically expand, how can I force all fields to be the same height as the highest field so that everything looks equal in height even though there may be less text or no text in some fields?
Thanks

Hello!
If you use expand property to all fields they can't be at same height.
You mast set the property to fixed and set equal height to all fields on the canvas.

How can I add a field to a Repeating Frame in the body of a 9i Report

How can I add a field to a Repeating Frame in the body of an Oracle 9i Report whose source is in a higher group?
I want to change an Oracle 9i report. The report has no header or trailer but only a body. The body has the parent frame fields & a repeating frame with four fields, A, B, C & D. They all seem to be in one group. I want to add another field E to the repeating frame whose source is from the 'header'.
I added the field & created a boiler plate & then added the new field, E to the original group A, B, C & D. In the Property Inspector for the field, I pointed the source to the source column in the main query. However, when I run the report, I receive the error "Invalid body size". Some notes on Metalink indicate that this could be due to margins being out of the printable area.
Moreover, after making the changes & after having unsuccessfully run the report, when I try to open the Page Layout for the report, I get no details.
Thanks,

Hi,
i also got same query can u pls tell me elaborately, if u can can u pls send some code.

Can we assign two repeating frames to have the same source(group)?

hi all,
can we assign two repeating frames to have the same source(group)?..pls reply soon... bye..

You can assign the same source group to two repeating frames.
For more information on repeating frames, refer to the Oracle Reports Building Reports manual available on OTN: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/devsuite.html

How to put non-repeating field in a repeating frame?

I have a formula field that creates the header for a list in a repeating frame. I seem to be in a quandary though-if I include the field inside the repeating frame the header gets repeated. If I put it outside the frame I get an error 'Field references Column at a frequency below its group'. If I move the formula column to the parent query it works except in the case where the child query returns no rows-then I get the header with no data.
So, I either need a way to display the header inside the repeating frame, but only once, or I need a way to suppress the header when the child query returns no rows.

So, I either need a way to display the header inside the repeating frame, but only once, or I need a way to suppress the header when the child query returns no rows.You can try one idea. Keep the formula column in detail group and create one more summary column as serial number for the detail records so in repeating frame place that field (formula column) in repeating frame and use the PL/SQL code for that field as below...
IF :serial_no = 1 THEN
RETURN TRUE;
ELSE
RETURN FALSE;
END IF;Then it should display for the first record only.

Hiding Text Fields Outwith a Repeating Frame

Hi
I have a set up where a row of data fields are within a repeating frame but the text headings are outwith the R frame because I do not want the headings to repeat.
How can I set this up so that if the main data fields is null then return false for the text headings?
I am finding this difficult because the text headings are outwith the repeating frame so I can't manage to reference to within the repeating frame (i.e. when field is null return X) using the format trigger.
Any valuable feedback on how to comlete this otherwise simple problem would be very much appreciated?
Andrew

To continue
E.G. Data row 1 is parent, data row 2 is child, data 1 has 2 child records:
Heading 1 for data 1
Data1
Heading 2 for Data 2
Data 2
Data 2
Than if there is another parent row the Data 1 repeating frame breaks and continues as below but this time there is no data 2
Heading 1 for data 1
Data1
Heading 2 for Data 2
And the heading is still there but no data.

Layout problem - multiple repeating frames

Hi, I have a layout problem, pls help!
Short report description:
- Repeating Frame1 - gives 1 record, contains all other frames, variable vertical elasticity
- - Frame2 - contains all frames beneath - variable vertical elasticity
- - - Frame3 - variable vertical elasticity
- - - - some boilerplates
- - - - Repeating Frame 2 - various number of records, fixed vertical elasticity, height 100
- - - - Repeating Frame 3 - various number of records, fixed vertical elasticity, height 30
- - - - .. other repeating frames ..
When reaching the bottom of a page, and there is not enough room to print a record for Repeating frame 2, a record from Repeating frame 3 is printed in the bottom.
Next page starts with the remaining records from Repeating frame 2.. and then the remaining records from Repeating frame 3.
For example:
Page 1:
Rep frame 2 - Record 1
Rep frame 2 - Record 2
Rep frame 2 - Record 3
Rep frame 3 - Record 1 -- not enough space to print Record 4, so this record is printed
Page 2:
Rep frame 2 - Record 4
Rep frame 2 - Record 5
Rep frame 3 - Record 2
How can i ensure that all records from Rep frame 2 is printed before records from Rep frame 3?

Hi, thanks for helping me out!
I tried to use anchors, but they had no effect when connecting top of 3 to bottom of 2, got the same layout.
I then tried to create frames with vertical elasticity expand around both rep frame 2 and rep frame 3, and it seems to do the job.
- Repeating Frame1 - gives 1 record, contains all other frames, variable vertical elasticity
- - Frame2 - contains all frames beneath - variable vertical elasticity
- - - Frame3 - variable vertical elasticity
- - - - some boilerplates
- - - - Frame 4 - vertical elasticity expand
- - - - - - Repeating Frame 2 - various number of records, fixed vertical elasticity, height 100
- - - - Frame 5 - vertical elasticity expand
- - - - - - Repeating Frame 3 - various number of records, fixed vertical elasticity, height 30
and so on..
Thanks again

Repeating frame pushing upwards

Hi all,
I have an issue with a repeating frame for a statement. If the account has multiple balances I want to provide an opening balance for each balance at the top of a page. I have these balances returned onto the report but it seems that they are pushing vertically up the page and not down . This in turn is affecting some fields that I have place above the repeating frame.
My balances repeating frame(type R) is housed within a type M frame (fixed) .
The fields above the balances repeating frame are also in a fixed frame (M type) These are the ones affected by the number of items in the repeating frame.
Can anyone suggest what I need to do?
Thansk in advance.

probably a bug in repors .
i just resized the whole report and it worked .

Report Repeating Frame

Hi
I have a report with three query and three frames
1st and 3rd frame are display only in first page and fix location.
Middle one(2nd) is display in all pages included 1 page
Problem is 2nd frame i used vertical elasity ='FIXED'
when record goes to 2nd page its display record only the same size of repeating frame. if i change the vertically elasity to Variable its overlapped or change the position
of my 3rd frame. can i set any way to 2nd frame to vertically with out disturbing my last frame. last frame has the same as 1st frame . i am working on Statement .
Last Section Contain Payment slip.
Please Help Me

Hi Syed,
If I understand your requirements correctly, here is what you want to do...
Page 1:
Frame 1 - fixed no of records
Frame 2 - as many records as can fit in after accounting for Frames 1 and 3
Frame 3 - fixed no of records
Page 2 onwards:
Frame 2 - all remaining records
It is not possible to design a layout where any one frame's (your 3rd frame) records can be placed "in between" the records of another frame (your 2nd frame).
A workaround would be to break up the data of 2nd frame into 2 frames (might be possible if it is sorted), and then design like this:
Frame 1
Frame 2 - fixed width, only as many records as can fit in on a page after accommodating Frames 1 and 3
Frame 3
Page Break
Frame 4 - variable width, all remaining records
Pl let me know if my understanding of your requirememnts is not correct.

How to make Acrobat Pro 7 form fields same size

I can manually enter form fields in my version of Acrobat Pro 7 but I have to hand draw them. is there a good way to make them all the same height? I know that if I copy the form field that I draw, it will link itself to whatever form field I copied it from.
TIA

The best way is to copy & paste the fields, and then rename them so that
they are no longer "linked".
If you have many such fields to rename, you might want to consider this
tool, developed by me:

Repeating frame with no rows returned messing up display

I have a repeating frame nested within a frame among other items. When there are no rows returned for the repeating frame query, the report is shifting all the objects below the repeating frame upward in the page. How do I get the space held by the repeating frame to just stay blank if no rows are returned?

Hi:
Is the Image and the Text within a Frame?If not, put these within a frame. If the text still moves up, then use an anchor.
what I mean is if your report looks like this:
<REGULAR FRAME>
<REPEATING-FRAME>
TEXT1
IMAGE
<REGULAR FRAME>
TEXT2
then put the TEXT1 and IMAGE inside a FRAME.

Non repeating frame - when/how to use

Hi,
How do I use a non repeating frame on it's own.
I have one query in which I have selected 3 fields.
In the paper layout, I have placed 3 fields in a non repeating frame.
When I run the report, I get a REP-1213 error - Filed 'xxx' at frequency below its group.
When I place the 3 fields ina repeating frame, it works, because the repeating frame property inspector allows me to enter the group and the non repeating frame does not.
So, my question is, when and how does one use a non repeating frame.
I need to understand the principle behind it.
Thank you
i

You mainly use regular frames to group objects together or prevent them from being overwritten. Check the help on About Frames.

How to set the Title twice for Down/Across Repeating Frame?

Hi All,
I'm using a repeating frame with Down/Across value for Print Direction Property, and make it's size small enough to show the data twice in columns.
But how to specify it's titles? Even it is shown once or twice?
If the data is shown once I need to show the titles once and if the data is shown twice I need to show the titles twice
Don't hesitate to ask me any thing if there is something not clear please!
Note:
I'm using Reports 6i.

So, you would like it like this?:
| title | title |
| no. 1 | no. 2 |
|       |       |
| no. 3 | no. 4 |
|       |       |
-----------------I don't think tihs will work, since the title above the repeating-frame will never know about the number of columns.
If your repeating frame has horizontal- and vertical-elasticity = fixed, you could do it like this:
| title | title |
| no. 1 | no. 2 |
|       |       |
| no. 3 | no. 4 |
|       |       |
-----------------You then have to create a format-trigger on "title" with the following code:
IF( mod( :rownum, 4 ) IN ( 1, 2 ) )
THEN
    return( TRUE );
ELSE
return( FALSE );
END IF;The "4" stands for the max number of repeating-frames per page, the "1, 2" means the number of columns per page.

Columns with same height in a repeating frame

Hi!, In Report Builder I have a report with a repeating frame with three fields. Each field is a colum in frame. First field always have two lines and second and third only have one line. I want second and third fields have the same height as first, I want they expand but I don't Know How i Can do this. Any idea?

Hallo Christian
I could solve the problem as follows
Repeating Frame
inside 1st Frame for the visible/invisble trick including a trigger
inside 2nd Frame for the fields
Anchor from 2nd Frame to 1st Frame and another one from 1st Frame to the Repeating Frame
=> all frames and anchors vertical = variable

Please suggest problem in increasing height repeating frames

Hi,
in my report normally up to 100 are printed. i setted the vertical elasticity as expand and horizontal as fixed.
but while priting, in vertical, it is contracting if date is too short enough and expanding when dat is large enough. But what my requirement i want to specify the height of each field in repeating frame fixed. i.e. 3 centimeters and it should be same for all records printed on page and on each logical page and i want to print maximum 8 records per page becoz my print page size can hold maximum 8 records and each record at 4 lines. And even if the data is short enough it must not be contracted, if data is one line,and the remaining space that is in 3 cemtimers should be left blank and it must to go to second record. That is in fixed heigt of record repeart frame i want to print the data. If data goes more than 3 centimetres then date must be truncated. I did not find any height to set this property in Repeating frame property.
please suggest solution'
thanks in advance
prasanth a.s

Hi Prasanth,
Enlarge the Repeating Frame height to say, 3 centimeters in the layout.
Set the Vertical (& Horizontal as well) Elasticity of the repeating Frame as Fixed.
In the Property Palette of Repeating Frame, set Maximum Records Per Page to 8 and Set Page Break after property to Yes.
This will solve ur problems.
Have a nice day...

Is it possible to show the same repeating frame in 2 columns?

Hello, and thank you all in advance for any help!
Here is the situation:
I have simple report with 1 repeating frame and 3 data columns in it.
I want to be able to have a second column on each page that continues the data from the repeating frame. That is to say, one the left the data would go from top to bottom like normal, then instead of going to page 2, it would go into a column to the right on the same page.
The repeating frame is small enough to fit at least 2 of them horizontally.
I cannot seem to find the way to make this layout work. Is it possible?
Thanks again,
-Arin

Nevermind everyone!
I got it to work with Print Down/Across...silly me.
Thanks anyway!
