Help !! Repeating Frame 'R_RA1223' references invalid group

Hi All,
I ran a request for a report through concurrent program and apparently the error it gives back is
"Repeating Frame 'R_RA1223' references invalid group".
I looked inside the report through report builder and checked the SOURCE of the frame and realized its correct.
the frame belongs to a group called G_RA1223.
I don't know what's the problem here and why is this error keeps popping up in the log file.
is there a way to fix this ?
Thanks,

Hello Rooney
Error Message: REP-01204: Repeating frame '<frame name>' references invalid group.
Error Cause:
The group name you entered in the Group field of the Repeating Frame Property Inspector either is invalid or does not exist.
Action: Select a group from the list of values.

  • Repeating frames...simple problem

    I am new to Oracle Reports and have run into a simple issue which I am not able to fix.
    Suppose that I’ve a table Numbers as shown below:
    SQL> desc numbers
    Name Null? Type
    COL1 NUMBER
    SQL> select * from numbers;
    COL1
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    Now I want to build a report manually(not using the wizard).
    In the datamodel I’ve given the query as (select * from numbers).
    In the layout model I am having one field and a repeating frame pointing to the group of the query. When I run the report it shows
    1,2,3…on different pages but I want all of them on the same page. I am not sure which property to set, I’ve tried the maximum records per page for the repeating frame but it doesn't help!
    If I build the layout using the layout wizard then I am able to achieve the desired results but I'll still like to know which properties exactly control this behaviour.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    Three ideas -
    Your repeating frame is as large as a full page and the elasticity is set to fixed.
    You have page protect set to on.
    You have a page break set before or after.
    Easy enough to create the two reports and compare the properties in the property palette.

  • 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

  • How to get the number of rows in a repeating frame ?

    Hi all,
    When I launch a report from forms then sometimes there are data in the report and sometimes there are no data. And the problem is that when there are no data then the frame containing the repeating frame is still displaying and a blank page displays on the report.
    So I want to get the number of rows from the repeating frame so that I can code a format trigger on the frame to display or not the enclosing frame depending on the existence of data from the repeating frame.
    Thank you very much indeed.

    Dear Friend,
    You can achieve this. Define a summary column (say cnt). Select summary type as "COUNT". select any one of columns that are getting displayed in your repeating frame as summary column and provide "reset at" group name (or set this to report if you are defining this field at report level) . This "cnt" variable will contain how many records that will be fetched for your repeating frame (i.e. Group of Repeating frame). You can use this "CNT" variable in your format trigger.
    In this case there is no need to write before report trigger or anything.

  • Why the placement of repeating frame hide he record of other fields ?

    Hello,
    After creating a data group in Data Model, I place a repeating frame corresponding it the group created.
    But In the presentation of the report, There is records in first line and after space, no records of other columns only data for the column grouped is seen. And too the reality number of pages has increased.
    Why this fact is occured ?
    How to avoid this ?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards.

    Try 2 select the repeating frame by selecting one of the fields in ur group layout then
    e.g
    F_BANK_NAME then select it's parent frame > will select the repeating and adjust it.

  • Report, Make a linkage group for two pages each page has a Repeating frame

    I Have two pages. And each page have a repeating frame inside a main frame.
    And two pages have a relational data. So, I should to make a linkage group for this two page.
    In my case,
    PAGE 1.
    *M_1 Main frame start
    R_1 Repeating Frame start
    Personal Data Part 1.
    R_1 Repeating Frame end
    *M_1 Main Frame end
    PAGE 2.
    *M_2
    R_2
    Personal Data Part 2.
    R_2
    *M_2
    If there are 3 peoples information, Repeating frame will display continuously.
    In my case,
    page 1
    page 1
    page 1
    page 2
    page 2
    page 2
    But I want to do the following.
    Page 1. -- 1st person's data
    Page 2.
    Page 1. -- 2nd person's
    Page 2.
    Page 1. -- 3rd.
    Page 2. so on...
    I need your help.
    please let me know how to solve this problem.

    Hi,
    i have a question related to this.
    i am making a report in a similar pattern:
    *M_1 Main frame start
    R_1 Repeating Frame start
    Data Part 1.
    R_2 Repeating Frame start
    Data Part 2.
    R_2 Repeating Frame end
    R_1 Repeating Frame end
    *M_1 Main Frame end
    Now the problem is that whenever there are multiple occurences of data in R_2, the data Part 1 is also printed that many times, whereas i want to show this just once.
    Is there any way to do this?
    Regards,

  • HELP!  Need txt ouput, but issues with repeating frames...

    In my data model, I have one main query, and three data linked queries. It IS a complex report, but I need to make it so that the user can output it to a delimited text file. I know how to do this, but when the report is printed, the rows are all mangled. If I PDF it, it's nice and pretty... one row per record. In my paper layout I have one parent repeating frame, which holds all columns, including 3 columns from the three data linked queries. Please help. Although I've written here before, I've never received a response, so I'm hoping this time will be different. Thanks.

    I've read this document and that didn't solve my issue. I'm sure it has to be something others have done in building reports. A little more detail perhaps to help you help me:
    Queries: 4
    Main to get list of all students
    3 other for attendance details (excused, unexcused and lates)
    Paper Layout View:
    1st layer: Frame
    2nd layer: Repeating frame that holds all student info +
    3rd layer: 3 more repeating frames for the 3 data linked queries that tells me if a student has missed any days.
    PDF works great as an output, but it's needed an a delimited export or spreadsheet, both of which scrambles my 3rd layer numbers on different rows. I'm stumped. Again, any help would be great here.

  • 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.

  • 2 Repeating Frames based on the same group

    I have this report which contains 3 groups, I have the requirement to break the 2nd group so that I create a 'footer' based on the 2nd group.
    I have created 2 repeating frames (one which holds the account number, payment terms, currency) and the 2nd repeating frame based on the same group which contains the bank details
    My report looks like this:
    (1st Group)
    Customer xxxxx
    Address xxxxx
    (2nd Group)
    Account No xxxxx
    Payment Terms xxxxx
    Currency xxx
    (3rd Group -repeating)
    Trans id xxx
    amount xxx
    (2nd Group)
    Bank Details xxxxxxxxxx <--will only have one per account
    I had originally designed the report using 2 identical frame structure.
    e.g.
    Main
    Repeating Group Customer
    Repeating Group Account
    Repeating Group Transactions
    Footer
    Repeating Group Customer
    Repeating Group Account
    This format worked when the Main group did not go over a page. The 2 Account Groups were coordinated.
    When the Main group extended to more than one page, the 2 Account Groups did not match.
    The jest of what I am trying to do is a footer of the bank details be printed at the bottom of the page always.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

    I didn't realise that this was such a difficult problem to solve. The requirements are quite simple (I thought)
    1) Query
    3) Groups
    a) Company
    b) Accounts
    c) Transactions
    My report needs to look like this:
    {page 1}
    COMPANY XXXXX
    ACCOUNT: 123
    Invoice ID Amount
    aaaaaaaaaa 111.11
    bbbbbbbb 111.11
    Sub Total 222.22
    --> To be printed at a predefined space on the physical page on each page. bold Bank Details for Account 123: xxxx bold
    {page 2}
    COMPANY XXXXX
    ACCOUNT: 456
    Invoice ID Amount
    aaa 10
    bbb 20
    ccc 30
    ddd 40
    ....<as many records that will force a second page
    --> but..this still needs to print!!!To be printed at a predefined space on the physical page on each page. bold Bank Details for Account 456: xxxx bold
    {page 3}
    zzz 100
    Sub Total 1000
    --> To be printed at a predefined space on the physical page on each page. bold Bank Details for Account 456: xxxx bold
    Say the next records in the query are for
    COMPANY XXXXX, ACCOUNT 789 with one detail record.
    COMPANY XXXXX, ACCOUNT 321 with multiple details records which will force a second page.
    What is happening at the moment is that the 2 repeating frames based on the Account Group,
    the first 2 pages will print out correctly, however, because the 2nd account goes over 2 pages and how I have this set the structure of the report (see above post), the bottom Account Group thinks that the account number is now 789 when in fact the top account group is still on 456
    I really hope that this is clearer.
    I am working on Reports 10g on a 10g database
    I have tried to create a ref cursor & separate the query to bring back bank details. but with no luck.
    A person had suggested that I create a separate frame and hold the bank details, which is fine. but as I previously stated, those bank details need to print on every page at a specific area on the physical page.
    If this might be of use:
    Repeating Frame Group Customer, Vertical & Horizontal elasticity Fixed
    Repeating Frame Group Account, Vertical Elasticity: Variable & Horizontal - Fixed
    Repeating Frame Group Transations, Vertical Elasticity: Expand & Horizontal - Fixed

  • Reports: Repeating Frames

    In one of the queries for my report I have a column which I don't want to be shown in to body but in the margin, but when I create a field with this column as source there I always get the message:
    REP-1213 Field '<field name>' references column '<column name>' at a frequency below its group
    its recommended to put the field into another frame, but I can't put it anywhere else;
    any suggestions?
    thx in advance

    Reshape the corresponding frame, so that it comprises the space where you wish to have that field. Beware, the higher level repeating frames have to comprise the lower level repeating frames. Repeating frames can't overlap.
    Hope this will help.
    Happy new year!

  • 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.

  • How to control the position of b_text - to be under repeating frame

    Hi. Any Guru:
    I have a designed paper report layout:
    repeating frame (vertical elasticity is variable)
    b_label f_field

    after report .rdf runs, b_label is not always under repeating frame. I tried anchor and frame and properties but could not solve the problem.

    Oracle Reports Help said:
    "Objects below an object with Page Break Before set to Yes may not move to the next page. If an object is set to print on a page but is moved to the next page because of Page Break Before, other objects may be placed in the space where the object was originally set to print, if there is sufficient room."
    My objects of b_label and b_field, which are designed to be UNDER the repeating frame R_G_xxxxxxxx, are randomly displayed either UNDER or INSIDE the repeating frame.
    My repeating frame has properties:
    R_G_xxxxxxxx
    page break before      No
    page break after     No
    page protect      Yes
    I was advised that "It can be a trial-and-error to get this to work properly.
    What often works is to put the repeating frame and b_label and b_field inside one group frame.
    Or put a group frame (whole page width) around b_label and b_field."
    I have tried very hard only to fail to get the expected results.
    Anybody has any suggestion?
    Just curious - I am using Reports Builder 10.1.2.0.2 and we are going to 11G. Reports Builder 11G will fix this bug or so-called "feature"?
    Millions of thank for any help!!!

  • 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.

  • 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?
