Format Trigger on Frames - SQL in data model

I am working on a report that gets data from huge tables that could possibly have millions of records. I have about four different queries in my data model. Each of the queries is attributed to a Frame in my layout model. However depending on the input parameters to the report, I need to suppress some frames.
I know we can simply conditionally set the format trigger (return FALSE) on the frame to turn of its display. But is there a way not to do the SQL query in the first place. In other words is there a way to accomplish this instead of having separate .rdf files. These are very I/O intensive queries and I don't want all the queries to run when the user chooses to see only on of the Frames (views). Remember that in my report each frame has its own query.
Any ideas ? Thanks in advance.

I apoligize for the multiple postings of the same item. Each time I tried, I got a jsp error but it successfully posted the item. I realized that only after three tries.

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.

Reports - Data source for repeating frames

Does anybody know if there is an alternative way to pass data to repeating frames than queries or ref cursors?
For example can I use a PL/SQL table as source for a repeating frame?

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

Adding a field to a Repeating Frame in Oracle Reports

Hi,
I have a report that has 4 repeating frames. At the lowest level (Level 4), I have several fields to do with school swimming sessions - Session Start Time, End Time etc..
I want to add a field to that frame for Session Notes, and have tried doing this by going to the Layout Model, selecting an existing field (e.g. Start Time) and doing a copy & paste into the Layout Model, with a view to then renaming it and changing the Source to Session Notes.
However, each time the new field is being created at School level (this is the Level 3 repeating frame) - obviously then when I attach the Session level column as the source for my new field, I get a field referenced "at a frequency below its group" message.
Any idea how I create a field in the Level 4 group?
Many thanks,
Keith.
PS I am using Oracle Reports v6

Before adding the items for the level4,create a repeating frame and put the right source to the repeating frame.
After doing this,put the items on this frame,and they will be level4 items.
It should work

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.

ls_fieldcat-fieldname = 'LIFNR'.
ls_fieldcat-seltext_l = 'Vonder'.
ls_fieldcat-key = 'X'.
ls_fieldcat-fix_column = 'X'.
   ls_fieldcat-outputlen = 12.
append ls_fieldcat to l_fieldcat.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
   EXPORTING
     IT_FIELDCAT                        = l_fieldcat. " Pass the fielc cat here

Printing order of pages in case of multiple repeating frames

Hi,
I am developing a custom invoice report with layout (everything included in main section) spread across 2 pages.
The whole of first page (invoice document) is in one repeating frame and the other page (support document which is a matrix) is in another repeating frame.
When printing for multiple invoices I want the support document to be printed along with each invoice. Currently all the invoices are being printed together and the support documents are printed together.
Is there any solution for the above problem?
I tried the following
-Including the support document in the trailer section
-Including the whole report in one single repeating frame, but this doesn’t work for me as there is a header part in the invoice which should not print on support document
-Increasing the vertical panels to 2, but this is resulting in blank pages
Thanks in advance.
-Srikanth

I am sorry for the all the trouble, I guess I was not clear. I will try to explain how the frames are now and how the output is.
Below is how the frames are alligned in the object navigator
M_1 (Main Frame)
-- R_1 (Main Repeating Frame)
----M_HDR_INV (Header frame)
----M_INV_LINES (Invoice Lines
----M_SUMMARY (summary details)
Currect output
INVOICE Page 1
Header
lines....
INVOICE Page 2
lines....
SUMMARY Page 3
Desired Output
INVOICE Page 1
Header
lines....
INVOICE Page 2
Header
lines....
SUMMARY Page 3
Let me know if you would like to see the copy of my rdf.

BTW I am using reports 6i.

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.

Specifying order of pages in output with repeating frames

Hi
I'm using Oracle Reports Builder 10g and I need help on this subject:
I'm developing a report divided in sections that reference statistics of the partitions present in an IBM Machine. Each page in the first section appears also in the other sections of the reports, i.e. the first page of the first section (with data from partition A) has the same layout than the first page of the second section (with data from partition B in this case), which is page 14 on the final pdf report, and so on.
For each 'kind' of page in the final report I use a repeating frame that fills a whole page in the page layout in reports builder (the parameter is the partition), so I get n output pages for each page in the rdf file (n is the number of partitions). The problem: in the resulting pdf output file, the first page of first section appears first, then the first page of second section, and so on. I need the pdf to be arranged in the correct order.
Can someone help me on this subject?
Thanks and regards,
Alex

How do you create sections?
What is the data model?
What is the layout model?

Report with predetermined number of frame

I have to produce a report which has three repeating frames (1,2,3) with master /slave relationship i.e. frame 1 is master frame for frame 2 ,3 and frame 2 is a master frame for frame 3. Each page of the report has to have one instance of frame 1 & 2. Frame 3 must have 5 instance per page where some of the frames might not have data.
If frame type 3 does not have data only the labels for the frame has to be printed. I have managed to produce the report but I do not know how to print frame type 3 instances in cases where there is no data associated with these frames. Can somebody help with this mater?
PS
Can you send me a copy of your response to :
[email protected]
null

Hi Teresa
why you want to print 5 instance of repeating frame 3 even if some or all of them does not contain data? Possible reply should be you want to print some bolierplate graphics or text. In that case you can place it in the repeating frame 2 behind (in terms of layers) repeating frame 3, 5 times repeated ... If this is not what you want feel free contact me to find solution ...
Hope this helps.

Format Trigger not working in 10g Report.

I have a report with two eclipses
(*) Debit (*) Credit . Please note that the two asterics denotes eclipses.
I have a format triggers on these eclipses based on the database item Debit_credit.
IF :debit_credit = 'CREDIT' THEN
RETURN FALSE;
ELSE
RETURN TRUE;
End if;
and vis-visa. However the format trigger is not working. Regardless of the value of
debit_credit. I even created a frame around these eclipses and put my format trigger all to no avail. Please help.

Create a boilerplate text in your repeating frame (get rid of the field :debit_credit from your layout, but leave it in your query). I created the boilerplate field B_1. My format trigger looks like:
function B_1FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if upper(:debit_credit) = 'CREDIT' then
srw.set_field(0, to_char('(*) CREDIT'));
else srw.set_field(0, to_char('(*) DEBIT'));
end if;
return (TRUE);
end;I hope I understood your question OK...I am not sure what an eclipses is?
