Hi
In a report we are having nealy 45 sections consisting of group headers and its sections like group header a,b etc. the issue is we have suppressed the section, by using formula in "suppress(no Drill Down)" but at the end of the report, a page header and footer is displayed for the suppressed detail and group footer sections.

try to minimize the size of the section, the blank page is because it is extending beyond standard page size.

How to avoid blank page in the report?

adding a field in the grouping and checking the page break option means then we are getting blank page as the first page of the report? How to avoid this blank page?

Usually blank pages appear as first page due to the presence of filler lines (//////) on top of report header.Please ensure that the top header is exactely started from top of page itself.

How to avoid printing an additional blank page at the end of the report

I have a report which has 3 panels in the main section of the report, about 3 pages in size. 1st & 2nd panels are enclosed in a repeating frame, and 3rd panel in a different repeating frame.
The vertical panels per page in the property inspector of the main section of the report is kept as 2. And thus, when I am printing the report I am getting an additional blank page at the end. Also I tried to make the vertical panels per page to 1 in the property inspector for main section but the following error is being returned:
REP-0801: Layout canvas must remain large enough to fit all layout objects
Can anyone tell me how to handle this?

Hi,
I too faced similar prob.
But when i made the After Page Value property of the report as blank it removed the blank page for me .
Try this and let me know whether it has helped you.

Blank Page at the end of the report

Hi
In my report i did not have any pagebreak or section break.
But some times i am getting extra blank page at the bottom of the report .
How to avoid this ..
Thanks in Advance
Have a Nice day.

Hi,
It is very probable that you are have unncessary space somewhere before the end of your template.
Use Ctrl+Shift+* to show the end of line markers and remove the unnecessary spaces in your
template then run again the view report.

Blank Page at the end of report(html output)

Hi,
I have created a paper layout report using report 10g.
DESFORMAT for the report is html.
when i take a print out of the report from internet explorer its printing a blank page at the end.
I tried with BLANKPAGES=NO it didn't help me and even unchecked the Blank Pages property in Report Builder tool.
Please help me in resolving this issue.

Srinivas.

Many thanks. That works

Implementing multiple page size requirement - extra blank page at the end

My XMLP report requirement is as follows.
- The report is printing a bunch of lines.
- Based on data and layout requirement, lines are grouped into page where they belong (due to complex logic for determining which page a line should go to...this is done in PL/SQL package that is called in the beginning of the RDF trigger)
- The first page needs to be printed on Legal size paper
- Subsequent pages (IF NEEDED) need to be printed on Letter size paper
So some report will have a 1-page output (legal size), and some will have multiple pages (1st page should be legal size, subsequent on letter size).
Here is a sample XML data:
<REPORT>
<LIST_G_PAGE_NUMBER>
<G_PAGE_NUMBER>
<PAGE_NUMBER>1</PAGE_NUMBER>
<LIST_G_LINE>
     <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
     <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
</LIST_G_LINE>
</G_PAGE_NUMBER>
<G_PAGE_NUMBER>
<PAGE_NUMBER>2</PAGE_NUMBER>
<LIST_G_LINE>
     <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
     <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
</LIST_G_LINE>
</G_PAGE_NUMBER>
<G_PAGE_NUMBER>
<PAGE_NUMBER>3</PAGE_NUMBER>
<LIST_G_LINE>
     <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
     <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
</LIST_G_LINE>
</G_PAGE_NUMBER>
</LIST_G_PAGE_NUMBER>
</REPORT>
For this, I created 2-pages RTF template and using the Word Page Setup feature:
1. First page setup is legal size (go to Page Setup, Paper tab, choose Letter and choose Apply to "Whole Document").
The first page has the following XMLP tag:
<?for-each: G_PAGE_NUMBER?>
<?if: PAGE_NUMBER=1?><?call:body?><?end if?>
<?end for-each?>
<?template:body?>
for-each loop that prints lines in a tabular format
<?end template?>
2. Second page setup is letter size (go to Page Setup, Paper, choose Letter and choose Apply to "This point forward").
<?for-each: G_PAGE_NUMBER?>
<?if: PAGE_NUMBER>1?><?call:body?><-- Ctrl-Break to insert a page break here --> <?end if?>
<?end for-each?>
It almost worked, except there is a blank page printed at the end. How do I remove the blank page? I have tried to use <?split-by-page-break:?> instead of the Ctrl-Break, but it did not seem to work (there is no page break happening at all).
I think the extra page is due to the multiple page nature of the RTF template. Is there a way to control the page size through XMLP tag (or XSL-FO). With that, I can try having a single page template and put the page size control within the XMLP / XSL-FO tag and hope that the extra blank page at the end will go away. Can someone please help?
Thank you!

Sorry for the typo in my previous post... I meant Ctrl-Enter (not Ctrl-Break).

Subject:      How to set the number of rows per page dynamically in a report
     Doc ID:      Note:122714.1      Type:      SCRIPT
     Last Revision Date:      07-NOV-2000      Status:      PUBLISHED
PURPOSE
This article shows how to set the number of rows per page dynamically according
to the user parameter specified.
INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these steps:
1. In the Object Navigator under Data Model-->User Parameters, create an user
parameter P_1 -- this parameter specifies the number of rows you want to
print per page
datatype: number.
2. In the Data Model Editor, create the query and the layout according to your
requirements.
Let's assume that we have the following:
Q_1: Select empno, deptno ename from emp
order by deptno, ename
G_1 has the columns empno, deptno, ename
3. In the Data Model Editor, create the following summary columns:
CS_numrow will be numbering the rows within the detail group
(created within G_1).
Set the following parameters:
Name: CS_numrow
Function: count
Source: <any column that does not accept nulls> for instance, empno
Reset at: Report
CS_total_rows will calculate the total of rows retrieved
(created at the report level)
Set the following parameters:
Name: CS_total_rows
Function: count
Source: <any column that does not accept nulls> for instance, empno
Reset at: Report
4. In the Layout Model Editor, create a Group Frame M_1 within the repeating
frame, below the fields empno, deptno, and ename. You may have to stretch
the existing frames to be able to fit this in.
F_enmpno F_deptno F_ename
--------------------------------------------- <<<< create the group
frame here
5. Set the properties for the Group Frame M_1 as follows:
Print condition: First
Object: Enclosing Object
Sizing:
Vertical: variable
Horizontal: fixed
Check the box "Page Break before".
6. Create a Format trigger for this frame M_1 as follows:
function M_1FormatTrigger return boolean is
/* prints until a row number is product of P_1 */
/* if row number is 5 and P_1 = 5, MOD is 0 */
/* then it prints the frame, doing a page break */
begin
if :CS_total_rows <> :CS_numrow then -- avoiding blank page at the end
if mod(:CS_numrow,:P_1) = 0 then
return (TRUE);
else
return(false);
end if;
else
return (false);
end if;
end;
NOTE: This assumes that the report is tabular. If you have a break group, this
logic can be applied for the detail group.

Blank Page at the end of generated PDF Document

Hi,
my problem is that ADS is generating a blank page at the end of my report.
I fill the ADS with a template and an XML stream.
The XML stream contains multiple orders. Each order has several detail data. It is a requirement that every order object has to appear at a new page.
XML structure:
- Order
-- Group1
--- fields of Group1
-- Group2
--- Fields of Group2
My template looks like this:
- body page subform: Order (Default binding: $record.Order[*]; Repeat Subform for Each Data Item: yes; After: Go To Next Page)
-- subform1
--- fields of subform1
-- subform2
--- fields of subform2
Because of the "Go To Next Page" at the Order subform a new page is rendered each time an order ends. This leads to the blank page after the last order is processed.
Does anyone know how I can suppress the blank page at the end of the document?

You may use a forum for xsl fo.

Blank page at the beginning of the report

I have a Report with a Group Above. I wanted a new page when a new Group began, so I selected the Group and changed Page Break Before to yes. It did start a new page with each Group, BUT there is now a blank page at the beginning of the report. How do I get rid of the blank page?
Thanks, Wayne

Hi Wayne,
I don't know whether the solution provided by Jrg works for you or not. But I solved the problem in a different way.
Insted using a page break on a repeating frame, I placed a boilerplate item in a corner just below the frame with a " "(white space) and I set the boilerplace item's property "Page Break After/Before" to "Yes". You understand me? just cheating ;)
That worked for me.
Cheers,
Gouri Sankar

Blank Page at the End

Dear All,
My requirement is to flow a table data onto subsequent pages without repeating the header portion of the form.
I created two master pages and two flowed subforms to do the same.
A default blank page with the heading is coming for 2 rows of data, or whenever the amount of data is less.
How should I solve this?
If is it to be done by scripting, please enclose the relevant code.
Thank you.
Regards,
Prosenjit.

The address field must not flow, yet the table should flow, how will that be possible, please explain.
Thank for your time.
I am trying to use the 'initialization' of subform 'Page2' as follows: xfa.form.data.Page2.presence = "hidden" within a IF-ENDIF construct, yet its not working out.
Regards,
Prosenjit.

When I open safari, I get a blank page and the beach ball.

When I open safari, I get a blank page and the beach ball. If I try to go to a website, it will load up to a certain point sometimes—the .com of www.facebook.com for instance—but other times, nothing at all.
I've fixed this once before by deleting some files in the library folder—extensions & preferences I believe—and choosing not to have plug-ins selected, then restarting the whole computer—rather than just safari. It will work fine for a day, or maybe 3 at the most, before I have to repeat the process all over again. I'm sure it's because I usually put plug-ins back on once I get it to work, because you can't really use the internet without using plug-ins. But I'm using Chrome right now, as I do when I'm too lazy or too in a rush to try the whole process of getting safari to work again, and I don't have a single issue with it.
My question is really, what plug-in could cause this to happen repeatedly? It's not like I'm going to websites that may have malware on them. I spend most of my day going to some of the most visited websites on the internet.
Is there a known bug out there, because Java has been overrunning concurrently with this happening. It's CPU % runs around 100. I quit the process, but it doesn't change anything. So, other than the fan turning on, I have not had any popup telling me that safari has crashed, that I'm not connected to the internet, or that something went horribly, horribly wrong. I'm pretty sure Safari things it's running fine, but it's not.
Thanks in advance.

Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected.

Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'

Step 5

Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Limit number of pages in the report

Hi
I am tasked to create a report to display only 10 pages maximum.
Please advise the way to do this.
1. I have suppressed all the sections with formula: PageNumber >10
This leaves a blank page at the end, which does not go even when i place Not OnLastRecord in paging option of the group footer.
2. I want to show the total number of records at the end of the 10th page, but it gets carried forward to the last blank page ( which i want to get rid off!)
3.the total number of records also included the number of suppressed records, whereas i want the count of records only visible.
Please help me to get this working.
Thanks & Regards
Sujata Sngh

Hi,
1. I have suppressed all the sections with formula: PageNumber >10
This leaves a blank page at the end, which does not go even when i place Not OnLastRecord in paging option of the group footer.
Apply suppress Blank sections and check.
2. I want to show the total number of records at the end of the 10th page, but it gets carried forward to the last blank page ( which i want to get rid off!)
Display the total number of records only when page number = 10
3.the total number of records also included the number of suppressed records, whereas i want the count of records only
visible
This is becuase you are using a recordnumber special fuction. Try the following :
You are suppressing records based on some conditon like
If condition = true then suppress
use the same condition to count your records like
Whileprintingrecords; // place this formula in your detail section ( wHere you have detailed records)
Numbervar x;
if contion = true then
x:=x+1;
Create one more formula : and place this where you want to see total record numbers (page footer of 10th page)
Whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar x;

Page Break-An extra blank page as the last page.

I have a template with a page break (<?split-by-page-break:?>) at the end of the template prior to the end of loop <?end for-each?>. This is causing an extra blank page at the end everytime the report is run. I checked this forum and got some pointers and used couple of them but didn't get the blank page to go!
I tried this in my page break filed! <?if:position()!=last()?><?split-by-page-break:?><?end if?>
Please help.
Thanks,
Fran

Hi, ive faced a similar problem in the past, I worked around it using subtemplates, but it still gives out an extra blank page if the content on the last page comes within 3 lines of the bottom of the page.. otherwise its ok..if you could send me your template and a sample xml file at domnic26ATgmail, i will see what i can do to help.

How can I print a label on the last page of the report in the margin

I would like to display a label on my report but has to appear only on the last page of the report in the margin area or as a footer. I have tried using the solution below that I came across in this forum. This solution only worked if I put the label as a report trailer and not in the margin of the main section of report. The problem of putting the label as a report trailer is that it will only appear at the end of the report on it's own page, i.e. on a new page. I would like the label to appear at the end of the report, on the last page which has the other report details and not to appear on a new page on its own. Could you please help? Thanks.
1. Create a dummy query, like
select 1 dummy
from dual
2. Create a package spec:
PACKAGE pkg_globals IS
totalPages number(3);
END;
2. Create a repeating frame and field for this dummy at the end of the report layout.
3. Create a format trigger for this frame:
function R_1FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(pkg_globals.totalPages);
return (FALSE);
end;
4. Create a format trigger for your margin field:
function F_1FormatTrigger return boolean is
pagenum number;
begin
srw.get_page_num(pagenum);
if pagenum = pkg_globals.totalPages then
return (TRUE);
else
return (false);
end if;
end;

A group by field needs to appear on every page of the report.

Hi.
My rtf template has a word header which is the report descriptn that appears on evry page. The report is grouped by business unit and then grouped by job description. The problem is the business unit appears only first time when it gets changed and then it does not repeat its value until the next BU comes up. I want to display the BU on each page even though the value is same (just like as a heading of a section). I used the follwing tags. The one in bold is to solve the issue of puting the BU descr on each page. But does not work. Anybodys help is greatly appreciated.
*<?fld_BUSINESS_DESCR?>*
<?for-each-group:row_CU_DET_STG;./fld_BUSINESS_UNIT?><?sort
<?fld_BUSINESS_DESCR?>
<?for-each-group:current-group()/fld_JOB_FUNCTION?>
<?fld_JOB_DESCR?>
Sid

Thanks alot Tim for spreading your expertise. That worked !!. I added the start and end body tag along with your solution of using the section with the group and it worked. Thanks alot again. However there is one prob now the page numbers are being reset and i dont want to reset it because the page numbers should continue in sequence till the end of the report despite of Business Unit change. Please any suggestion to solve this problem.
