How to anchor two repeating frames

I have a tabular report with two queries, one as a parent frame and the other as a child frame.
The master query is like a query displaying employees tables with some restricions.
The child query is like displaying all employees that their manager_id is the employee_id in the master query, the report will be like this as a simpliciy :
employee_id manager_id
1 50 master record
15 1 child record
19 1 child record
2 22 master record
no records found no child records found
5 14 master record
44 5 child record
I Merged the child frame into the parent frame to group the data as above , and it is working fine, i want to delete the boilerplate (no records found) , when i do this i get a space between the master frames (in case that no child records found) which i want to remove.
I'm trying to make a collapsing anchor between the two frames but i can't.
How can i solve this problem please ?

Possible solutions that may or may not work:
Try the "Vertical space between frames" property instead of creating a space in the layout editor. Set it to a value. If the frame is not printed, you don't have the vertical space.
Instead of a frame space, create a field with a formatting trigger. If there are no records than return FALSE in the trigger.

Problem with delimited output in repeating frames - urgent

I have two repeating frames one below the other. The problem is that unless there are two rows or more that result in the first repeating frame, it does not appear in the delimited output file. What is going on here ? Is it a bug ?
This happens only when I use generate to file -> delimited option. The report work fine using the previewer.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Now I have reports 6i (6.0.8.22.0). I believe it is patch 13. I still have the same problem. I still do not see the "delimiteddata" option. I only see "delimited" option. Someone told me that there is a new, "delimiteddata" option with patch 11 and higher. Also where can I find new documentation that shows the new desformat.

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?

How do i make a frame a enclosing a repeating frame appear only on the last page of a report?

I have a frame that encloses a repeating frame. How so i make them print only on the last page?

Assuming you have other content, you could:
set the Print Object On property to be last page.
anchor it to the main content that repeats on every page, so this frame only prints after the other one is done
Assign a format trigger where you make it display only if current page is equal to total number of pages
create a trailer and move the frame there

Repeating frame with anchor

Hi all,
I have a repeating frame in a report and it is anchored to a text field object (variable height). This repeating frame is Across/Down mode, but its behavior is like a Down mode repeating frame. Could anyone help me?
Att.
Diogo Domanski de Souza
PS: I've already verified the width of the repeating frame and it fits twice per row.

For easy to illustrate, let's call the variable height text field F_1, and repeating frame R_1. When you anchor from R_1 to F_1, the position of the anchor is very important and it affects the location and formatted size of R_1.
For example, if the anchor starts on the left-top corner of R_1 and ends on the left-bottom corner of F_1, that means formatted R_1 and F_1 will anchor together with 0% on the left of F_1 and 0% on the left of R_1 from the original position. In this case, you should see two columns per row.
If the anchor is in the top-middle of R_1 and bottom-middle of F_1, that means formatted R_1 (which has different width than you see on the layout model because it could expand across) and F_1 will anchor together from middle of R_1 (50%) to middle of F_1 (50%). Because of the anchor condition, you should notice even the left position of formatted R_1 would be different than on the layout model if R_1 still can contain more than one column.
In summary, the anchor is defined based on the percentage of formatted object. Once you understand that, you can adjust the position of the anchor to achieve what you want.
Hope this helps.

How to get the values from repeated frame?.

Hi
how to get the values from repeated frame?. i have to disply the first 3 digits in another place in my report.
i have field empno in repeated frame and i want to disply first 3 digits in another place in the same report.
thanks

How often do you need to display it? It sounds like you might want to base a summary on that formula with a function of first or last. If it's a per page basis, it can be a page level summary. If it's at a higher level repeating frame, then you can create the summary at that level. I'd suggest taking a look at the online help for summaries using the first/last functions.
Hope that helps,

How to fix objects below repeating frame?

hello all! I wonder how to fix the last elements such as signature area of a sale order report to the bottom of the last page?
i find the area always appear closely after the detail lines...i don't want this
Thanks for any help!

hi philipp!Thanks for your reply.
I am meaning that a have some text objects lower than a repeating frame which height is variable and i want to have the distance between the text objects and the bottom of the page to be fixed,instead of varying according to the height of the repeating frame.The text objects and the repeating frame are in a same container frame so i can't set the vertical elasticity of the frame to fixed.
Any idea?

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,

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.
Regards,
Manish Trivedi

How to find out no. of records or repeating frame in a page

Hi All,
How do I find out how many records have been displayed on a particular page?
I'm having a repeating frame, and I want to know print another item, on a condition that if the records printed on the page are less than 5 then it should be printed otherwise not.
The item to be printed is not a part of the repeating frame whoz occurences have to be counted.
Regards

Hi Naveen
You can create a Packaged varaible that acts as
global variable , and you can increment this
variable in the repeating frames Format Trigger .
Based on the value of the variable , you can
return true or false for the item that you want to
display .
