Horizontal repeating frame

Hello all,
I am using oracle 9i forms and report.I have created one report in oracle report builder,that report alignment is perfect .the output of report like this.
1 2 3 4 5 6...........................................................31.
it is coming rightly on report builder but when i open in pdf it is coming with different lines but need to display in one line.
i am used horizontal repeating frame for print 1....31.Is it any configuration required on report server. kindly help me.

Are these 3 queries independent of each other or linked with Data Link?
If these are linked with each other, then try the following:
Try using summary column (count) for each query and put a format trigger on the labels. If count is <> 1, hide the label.
Hope this helps.

Heading for repeating frame (horizontal) to appear just once - How?

Hi
I have 3 queries that represent 3 different levels. Each level is displayed one above the other. Example
Level 3: <field3 from query3>
Level 2: <field2 from query2>
Level 1: <field1 from query1>
In the output The level labes are displayed as many times as the values in the fields. Example Level 2 is displayed twice if query 2 returns 2 rows.
Level 2: <row1 from query2>Level 2: <row2 from query2>
This is because I have field and label for Level within a repeating frame. Is there a way that I can suppress Levels being dispalyed multiple times and display just once in the beginning?
I cant put the Labels outside of the repeating frame because the levels may vary (there may be 1 level or two or all 3 levels depending on input).

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!

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...

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

Repeating Frames Resizing Issue

Hello,
I've been using Reports 6 recently having been using Reports 10 up until now, and I've got an issue in the Report I'm currently working on.
When I try to resize any of the repeating frames on the report, they appear to default to a much large size...example...
If I have a repeating frame containing 1 field and I try to reduce the size of the frame so it fits snugly around the field, as soon as I click on one of the draghandles on the frame, it immediately resizes the frame horizontal or vertical (depending on what draghandle is used). So far, this has just been annoying more than anything else and I've generally been able to avoid any problems by simply undoing the change, or redrawing the frame.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a setting off in my version of Reports? Or is this a general problem?
Thanks

Thanks for your feedback.
The reason I have 4 repeating frames is because each frame belong to a different group.
<SOME TEXT> is infact set to vertical expand.
I came up with a solution by using a 5 lines that stretches with FRAME 2 and set no lines
property for FRAME 3. That way FRAME 3 repeats 7 times horizontally, one in each box created by the lines with FRAME 2. Thus when FRAME 2 expands, the expanding lines creates the 7 horizontal boxes.

Repeating frame problem

Hi,
I've Matri with group report which prints 'region' level data in Repeating frame (down).
But, for the Last region of the report, the report is prinitng twice the data. I observed this problem when I have more than one 'region' level data and then for the last region data in that.
( means, if there is only one region data, it's not priniting twice, rather priniting fine).
Please suggest anything on this..urgent a bit..
Thanks,
Ratnakar

Hi,
Do one thing, place a group frame around repeating frame , sure it must be of size to occupy 3 or more reocrds generated by query. Below this group frame , place additional fields you want to appear below . Remember to keep vertical and horizontal elasticity fixed for this group frame.

Repeating frame data run over the page number in the bottom of page

Hi all,
I have an issue trying to have page number info shown on every page of report.
The report has an outer frame M1 that includes frame M2 (it contains a repeating frame with actual data), M3 (a frame that shows the summary and total info) and M4 (the frame that contains page number information.
Settings are as follow:
Frame - Vertical - Horizontal - Print Obj On - Base Printing On
M1     Fixed          Fixed          First Page     Enclosing
M2     Expand          Fixed          First Page     Enclosing
M3     Fixed          Fixed          Last Page     Anchoring
M4     Fixed          Fixed           All Page     Enclosing
What happens now is that frames M3 and M4 both only shown on the last page. M3 has the right behavior but I expected M4 to show on every page. All these are on Main Section. I know I could have page info on Trailer section but I need to have everything on Main section because of some other logic I have.
Any suggestions?
Mike

I tried that but it did not work. If I used Print All Pages for main content frame it will just have 1 page output versus multiple pages as expected.
Two important points:
1) R1 (the repeating frame in M2) has Vertical Elasticity as Expand because it also contains more repeating frames under it. Problem could be solved if the R1 would have vertical elasticity as Fixed instead;
2) I also could have fixed this by having M2 (it contains a repeating frame with actual data) with Vertical Elasticity as Fixed instead of Expand. But once I do that, I get Report error M3 (frame that shows the summary at the last page) "has an illegal print condition"? Anyone know why this error occurs?

Display a repeating number in repeating frame.

Hi all,
using forms6, reports6(6.0.8.20.1) on database 81741 in web-based arch, windows2000 servers.
On the report page, I have a repeating frame with data extracted from database. I used to mark starting of the frame with a '*' sign to make visible where a new frame started on report. Users want that to be replaced by (increasing) numbers with frame. I donot want to keep that as a column in database because the order it might be kept in database would differ from shown in reports & in that case, it might show on reports as 3,4,2,1.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Abhi.

Ok, I am back with a new practical issue. Our requirement was to to display numbers in repeating frame. That we met. Now, we place a dot/decimel after a number in any letter etc. I am trying to place a dot after number.
I use a independent text object to place a dot after the new field we created. it works fine for 1 to 9. At number 10, that 'dot' doesnot move foreward with the number & dot is hidden under 10. If I move dot one place foreward, it shows fine for 2 digit numbers, but looks dumb for 1 digit number. Changing the horizontal elasticity property of the 'F_' item to all possible value doesnot align dot after number.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
Abhi.

Page Break Before & Repeating Frame (Reports 10G - Windows)

Hi to all,
I have to give page break when a condition met in a tabular report.Like it s advised I tried some layout objects with page break before property true and wrote their return code true if this criteria occurs. But whatever I tried, I couldnt get my desired output.It gives page break but repeats a blank repeating frame in the next page but only with that object I added later with page break property. Anybody have an idea ?
Thanks...

Hi,
sounds like there's no child object for your object with page break before. This property has only impact of the object itself and all it's child objects. An object is a child object of another object, if the position of this objects has impact of the own position. This is only the case, if the parent object is vertical expandable and the child object is horizontally overlapping the virtual expand-region, or the child-object is anchored to the parent object.
So if you have this layout:
blue box fixed size
red box fixed size
yellow box fixed size
and you set page break before to the red box, you will get:
blue box
yellow box
-- page break
red box
If the red box is verical expandable you will get:
blue box
--page break*
red box
yellow box
So in your tabluar report your field of the report should be in a frame and this frame should be child object of your new object which must be vertical expandable or anchor them together.

Rainer

Visible/non-visible object with an anchor in a repeating frame

I have one reapeating frame with some fields (horizontal in one line).
The Repeating frame has the vertical elasticity = variable.
In the repeating frame, above of all fields I created one object/rectancle, which is visble and non-vislbe by a trigger. This trigger function correcty.
But the repeating frame doesn't to be variable, when this rectancle is non-visible.
What is the problem ?

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

Large Repeating Frame Problem

Dear All:
My problem is as below:
I need to draw a large repeating frame ( sized 8 inches x 38 inches) and print it out using A4 paper (sized approximately 8.5 inches x 11 inches) via PDF format in Acrobat Reader. The problem is the report print out to be so small in order to fit the A4 size.
Is there anyway to fix the Layout Model Body Section as A4 size and at the same time include a repeating frame in the report body which sized larger than the layout body?
Thank You.
Regards;
Jessie

Jessie,
Check the "Horizontal Panels per Page" property, in the "Main Section" node of "Layout Object" (in the Object Navigator window).
I believe this will solve your problem.

Using LEVEL Pseudo column to format repeating frame

I am trying to display a hierarchy in Reports. I use the 'Connect By' Clause in SQL and gather the hierarchical data, and want to display the results in a tree fashion. How can I do it?
I only come up with one answer, to use the LEVEL PSEUDO-Column and indent the repeating frame based on the value for LEVEL. I want to know how I can set the X and Y co-ordinates of the repeating frame dynamically?
Please help me with this if you have other ideas?
Thanks.
-Shan

Unfortunately, you can't programmatically set the geometry (x,y, width, height) values of any objects in the reports output.
The best you can do is have another object (or number of objects) that are turned on/off and then use collapsing anchors and format triggers to move the repeating frame to the left. If you only have one object, you can set it's horizontal expansion to variable and then fill it with a number of characters to get the desired "indent".

Repeating Frame over multiple pages

How can i streach a repeating frame over more pages without
getting: REP-1212 Object 'Body' is not fully enclosed by its
enclosing object ''

In the object Navigator go to the Section in which this Repeating Frame exists (For example, "Main Section"). Double click to invoke it's property inspector. Increase the "Horizontal Panels per page" or "Vertical Panels per Page" as per your need. By default both will be 1.
Thanks,

Printing a Line at the end of a Repeating Frame in Reports 6/6i

Hi Folks,
In few of my designed reports I want a horizontal boiler plate line drawn at the end of the repeating frame on each page. The Number of Records property of the repeating frame is set to 0, i.e., depending upon the margin allocated on each page the report should fetch as many records as they can fit in the allocated area of the frame. I have also set the Page Protect property of the repeating frame to Yes, since we want the description of the records to be displayed fully on each page i.e., a record displayed last on a page should have its description on one page and it should not go to the next subsequent page. Now when I draw a horizontal boiler plate line at the end of the repeating frame in the Layout Model and set its property to Print on all Pages, the line in few pages of the report does not print at all and on the rest of the pages it is displayed at its correct position. I have even tried using an Anchor but it still does not work. Do I need to set the property of the anchor or am I missing some basic point here?
TIA
Hassan

Hi there,
I have tried that but when the records are less in number on a page i.e., 1-2 then the line do prints on each page but there is a gap between the line and the last record.I want that the line should print right after the last record. Should I use an anchor here? But we cannot use an anchor between a line and the margin.
Any ideas??
