I am new to Reports. So please excuse me if it has been answered.
Please help me to generate a page break when the database table column is a cetain value.
Specifically, if the DAY of a reserv_date column is 'Monday' then I should generate a page break.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Try this solution
SOLUTION EXPLANATION:
Go to the layout editor and add a horizontal line to the layout.
Place this line directly below the field that will be associated with the format trigger.
The line should also be within the repeating frame of the referenced column.
Apply line color to make the line white (so it won't show up in the printed report) and set the properties to Page Break Before.
Then add a format trigger on the line object to check the value of the desired
column.
For instance, if a master-detail report is created on the EMP table,
and a page break is desired whenever the value of the COMM field is not null,
create a trigger as follows:
function b_1Format trigger return boolean is
begin
if :comm is not null
then
return (true);
else return (false);
end if;
end;
When the report is run, a page break will occur whenever the value of COMM is
not null.
