Conditional Page Header Suppression

Post Author: whellier
CA Forum: Formula
I have a report in v9.0 that I have inherited.
A formatting issue has come up which requires a page header to be conditionally suppressed.
The condition that triggers the suppression is that the last record printed in the detail section is displayed on the next to last page.
I thought I could readily address this by just creating a formula that looked at the last record and total page count and put the results of the formula into a global variable.
I would then evaluate the variable in the page header, forcing it to be evaluated after the formula execution.
Unfortunately, due to how crystal makes it passes to evaluate formatting and data, the variable doesn't reflect the appropriate value.
Any approaches on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

try putting OnLastRecord in the Print Suppress formula, thoug that might also suppress if the last record is the first record on the last page.

Conditional Suppression Page Header

My report contains one subreport placed in RFb. The data in the subreport is unrelated to the data in the primary report, so each report requires its own set of column headers. When printed, the subreport requires at least several page. Subreports have no page header section. In my subreport the column headers are placed in the RH section of the subreport, but these headers do not show up after the first page of the subreport. In addition, the headers in the primary report appear in the subreport, though they are inappropriate.
To workaround this problem I placed the primary report headers into PHa and the subreport headers into PHb, both in the Primary report. I want to use conditional formatting (suppression) to control the appearance of these headers WhilePrintingRecords.
The objective is to suppress PHb until the SECOND page of the subreport. (The subreport has a title page, so that MUST be the first section on page 1 of the subreport). PHa is suppressed AFTER the primary report is done. The last section in the primary report is RFa (or is it? See below).
Using Basic syntax I placed the following formula into RFa of the Primary report.
'Determine last page of Primary report.
WhilePrintingRecords
Global nLastPgSec1 As Number
nLastPgSec1 = PageNumber
Formula = nLastPgSec1
However, I have found that the value of nLastPgSec1 increments by one as each page of the subreport is printed. The only way this can occur is if RFa of the primary report is evaluated with each page, even though the subreport is placed in RFb.
I know this is probably difficult to follow without a visual of the design.
Can anyone tell me how to control the conditional formatting to accomplish what I need?
Thanks,
Art

After a night's sleep I saw my problem. The solution was to set the value of nLastPgSec1 by placing it in the DETAILS section of the primary report (not a report footer). The formula is:
WhilePrintingRecords
Global nLastPgSec1 As Number
If OnLastRecord Then
nLastPgSec1 = PageNumber
End If
Formula = nLastPgSec1

XI Page Header conditional suppression not exporting to editable RTF

I have a report that I don't want the page header to print on the first page (using the report header instead). It works great exporting to everything except editable RTF.
If i have a suppression condition on the page header, it doesn't print on any of the pages on the rtf. If I have no suppression, it prints on each page (including the first). Is this 'by design'? Is there a work around? Is it slated for a future enhancement? Bug Fix? I can't find any information on this situation. I'm assuming it's similar to the 'Page # of #' problem.
The customer insists on an editable RTF... as they want to edit it before sending it out to their customers!
If anyone has any ideas, knowledge, workarounds... I'd love to hear about it! Thanks!

Here is a workaround that I just tried and it works:
1. Create a "FakeGroup" formula:
WhileReadingRecords;
2. Insert Croup by "FakeGroup" formula
3. Move it to the top grouping level
4. Go to Options in Group Expert and click Repeat Group Header On Each Page
5. Go to Section Expert and conditionally suppress Group Header 1 (onfirstrecord)
6. Move all content of your Page Header to Group Header1
7. Suppress Page Header

How to suppress page header when rendering particular group footer

Description: I am using Crystal Reports 2008. I have a report with a page header, and several groupings. The groups all suppress their headers, but have footers. The grouping is in the order: type,county,city,status,parent. The first 3 footers force a new page before the footer. The county footer includes summaries and charts.
Problem: The client wants the header displayed for the detail and the header for the county footer to be different. How can I make this happen?
More Info: I currently have just a page header. I have tried messing with the suppress formula for the page header, but I cannot figure out the correct formula to use to suppress the page header on a county footer page. Is there a way to do this, or is there a completely different approach I should be taking to solve this?
I can provide more info if needed.
Google search was unhelpful in solving this problem. This problem is driving me nuts. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

What i would suggest is to create a new variable in WhilePrintingRecords evaluation time. For example:
1. Boolean variable set to TRUE in Group Footer #2 (County)
2. Reset it to FALSE in Group Header #2 and Group Footer#1
3. Use the variable for conditional suppression

Suppress the Page Header section on a specific Section

Hello,
I have a single page word document I want to append to the end of a report I have, so I placed it in Report Footer b. The word document fits perfectly on a single page without any header. I tried simply supressing the Page Header on the last page but because of the length of the the word document it gets cut in half, so the 2nd to last page includes a header and forces the word document onto 2 pages (one with a header and one without). I tried supressing the Page header the last and 2nd to last page, but that results in the printing of an extra page as the word document without a header only takes up one page.
Is there some way to supress a section based on what section is currently printing ie.
WhilePrintingRecords;
Section "Report Footer b"
I am open to any suggestions on how to simply add a report footer section without a page header.
Thanks

Unfortunately that also suppresses on the 1st report footer section (RFa)
I tried adding an additonal conditon
OnLastRecord AND Pagenumber >= TotalPageCount - 1
However, this results in the addition of an extra blank page, which changes the page count to 1+ what it should be. This may confuse some users.
Can I specify a specific record? How would I go about doing that?

How to suppress page header when group footer prints

I would like to suppress the page header on my report when a group footer prints. My group footer is going to be a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo and I'm going to have it do a page break before so it prints on it's own page. I do not want my page header info printing on this page.
Is there a way to do this? I am on Crystal XI. Thank you in advance.

I haven't tested this, but...
Formula @InGroupHeader:
WhilePrintingRecords;
BooleanVar InGroupFooter;
InGroupFooter = False;
Formula @InGroupFooter:
WhilePrintingRecords;
BooleanVar InGroupFooter;
InGroupFooter = True;
PageHeader.Suppress:
WhilePrintingRecords;
BooleanVar InGroupFooter;
InGroupFooter;
Edit: I think I like Graham's solution better, actually.

Suppress page header when printing sub reports

Post Author: GSchmidt
CA Forum: General
I am looking for information on how to suppress the page header on the main report when a certain subreport(s) are printed within group footers.

Post Author: Charliy
CA Forum: General
Set a Shared Variable in the Report Header of your subreport. PrintFoot := "NO"
Check it in the Print Suppress formula of the Page Footer of your main report
Reset in the the Report Footer of the subreport. PrintFoot := "YES"
You'll als have to initially set it to the "okay to print" value in the Report Header of the main report just to get started.

Need a formula to suppress the page header for multiple pages

Hello Experts,
I have a report where I need to suppress the Page Header on 4 pages that have charts. There are two different charts that take up the full page, but my page header shows up at the top of the page.
I found a way to get the page header off of the first page with a formula in the Section Expert; Suppress; but I need to be able to do the same for the other 3 pages.
My formula that worked for the first page is: PageNumber = 2
I tried everything I can think of to add page numbers 15; 21; and 35.
Can you please tell me if this is possible and what I should do? Thanks in advance for your help.
Kathryn.

Do you know what pages you want to suppress?
If yes, can you use the suppress formula option in the Section Expert?
pagenumber in [1,2,3,4]
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to suppress the Page Header of the Main Report based on the Section Name?

Hi,
I am fairly new to Crystal Reports XI. Is it possible to suppress the Page Header of the Main Report based on the Section Name? Thanks.

In the section expert you can enter a formula on the suppress function.
You just need something to check against if it is section name you say
{section name} ="Suppressme"
I have used it more in drill level to display headers based on how far you have drilled into a report.
Hope this helps

Page Header Printing on Subreport

I have a page header on my main report that prints on an unlinked subreport. Can anyone tell me how I can suppress it?

Hi Gayle,
If the sub report is placed in report footer section, then you will go to selection expert and selected the u2018Page Headeru2019 section. You click on suppress formula of that section and add the following condition
u201COnLastRecordu201D then the u2018Page Headeru2019 will print up to the main report detail section.
Thanks,

Make details section as page header

Hi ,
I have a situation where I use the sections--- Details A, Details B and Details C. I used a Fake group header as page header for Details A. How could I make Details B section as a page header (for Details C section)without repeating on the same page and repeating once on each page.
Any help please..
Thanks.

Create a formula like this
@Initialize
WhilePrintingRecords;
numberVar i:=0;
place this in page header and right click on the detail section b and go to section expert and write the condition for the suppress like this
WhilePrintingRecords;
numberVar i;
i:=i+1;
if i<>1 then true
else
false

Problem with Conditional Page Process

Application Express 3.1.0.00.32
I have a conditional page process that whenever a user clicks on the create or save button, certain values are stored in one table and certain are stored in another dependent on the value of a page item.
If a user opens a record and makes a change to the entry but doesn't change the current status, the information saved differs from when the current status is altered. Since the code, syntaxically, is correct, I'm more incliendeid to think this is an APEX issue however here is the code:
declare
v_current_status pls_integer;
begin
select fk_lov_status_id
    into v_current_status
    from com_status
   where fk_proj_master_id = :P23_CS_FK_PROJ_MASTER_ID
     and pk_com_status_id = (select max(pk_com_status_id) from com_status);
if v_current_status = :P23_FK_STATUS_ID then
null;
elsif (:P23_STATUS_COMMENT is null) then
    INSERT into com_status
      (fk_lov_status_id,
      fk_proj_master_id,
      status_comment)
    VALUES
      (:P23_FK_STATUS_ID,
      :P23_CS_FK_PROJ_MASTER_ID,
      'An update was not made to the status description.');
    commit;
elsif (:P23_STATUS_COMMENT is not null) then
      INSERT into com_status
        (fk_lov_status_id,
        fk_proj_master_id,

How to print the Terms and Condition page ine the sap-script

Hi experts,
                         i got the requirement that how to print the Terms and condition page in the script,i have the three pages, having the same main window, in the last of the main window(all three pages) i have called the hard coded text(i.e so10 text), but when i am displaying the output data get printed in the first page but i am getting the second page heading on the top of the terms and condiions page. In all the three pages i have the same main window, if i make change in any window i will affect all the other main windows. so please suggest me how i need to go.HOW TO GET GRID OF THE TEXT ON THE TOP OF THE SECOND PAGE OF THE TERMS AND CONDITONS.
like this i have called in the MAIN WINDOW
/E : LAST ( IN ALL THREE PAGES)
       INCLUDE ZSD_INVOICE_TERMS TEXT OBJECT TEXT LANGUAGE EN.
IN THE TCODE SO10
NEW PAGE TERMS.
1) TERM MS AND CONDITONS TEXT.................................................
FIRST->NEXT, NEXT->NEXT,,   TERMS--->TERMS.

Hi,
1. Create a new page by Name : LAST
2. Identify the text element which will be the last element in the form in the debug mode.
Mostly Ex: SUM, TOTAL, LAST etc.,
3. the page linking should be
First --> Next
Next --> Next
4. In the Text element identified in the step 3.
Write the following code
/: NEW PAGE LAST
/: INCLUDE the standard text created for the terms and conditions in SO10
Check the syntax for the command but the logic will be the same.
It should resolve your problem.

How to stop to display the main report page header in the subreport!

Hello all,
I have an existed report that display the CR page header on every page of the report. Now I added another subreport into report footer without using link. How do I stop to display the main report page header and display the subreport in the new page with subreport header only? I really appreciate your time to help me out on this issue. Thanks.

Hi,
I tried to supress the page header with (onlastrecord and TotalpageCount > 1) condition, but the last page of main report without page header. I still like the page header display on last record, but not on the subreport only. How do I get it? Thanks in advance.

How to include the page header in smartforms

Hi,the text element of the type include text is placed in the main page in header.
this text element extending to several pages.
The user wants to include page header only on pages where this element displays.
EX:in the page they are 5 elements include text will appear from 3rd page.
then they want to display the page header only from 3rd page.
IS it possible?

Hi!
You have to define more header objects.
You can use conditions, which object appears. You can use a flag variable for this: gv_header_flag.
Based on this gv_header_flag, you can tell the Smartform, which header to print.
And you have to fill gv_header_flag with correct values in some ABAP code, entered into your Smartform, before you print your header.
