How to reduce vertical spacing in repeating frame? - SOLVED

My problem is that space between repeating frame and fields inside this frame cannot be smallest then 1.1mm (1/25 of inch). This crete aditional vertical spacing 2mm per one row. It is not possible move field near frame border.
Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2. Snap on grid is OFF. Vertical spacing is zero. ConfinMode On. FlexMode Off.

Not sure why this is not working for you. Your paper layout is wysiwyg for the most part. I would put snap to grid ON and make sure there is no space between my frame and the fields inside it. You can can zoom in to make sure there is no space. <b>You may have to resize your field to get the field to snap to the grid before you try and move it up against the frame.</b> You just have to keep playing with snapping to the grid until everything fits. I would recommend not turning off snap to grid until you are really comfortable with Oracle Reports.

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,

Many thanks in advance!

Hi
You can concatenate the 2 variable and display it on that field.
data.Page1.<field>.rawValue = Concat(data.Page1.<field1>.rawValue , "\u000a" , data.Page1.<field2>.rawValue)

Using a Separator in a Repeating Frame - Solved (Sort of...)

Hi Folks,
I've got a report with a repeating frame going across it. I want to put a slash ('/') between the entries but NOT at the start or end so it looks like:
Acceptance Test/Before Use Test/After Use Test
Is this possible in Reports and, if so, how can I achieve it? There's nothing obvious about it on these forums or on MetaLink...
Thanks,
Simon.

Hi ,
those entries are fields for repating frame right?
ok then,
2 ways to do this.
1)
take bioler plate with text '/' for the required columns you want to seperated in the layout.
2)
concatenate the columns with '/' in the query itself for the required clumns u want
in the data model
try with this.

Non repeating frame - when/how to use

Hi,
How do I use a non repeating frame on it's own.
I have one query in which I have selected 3 fields.
In the paper layout, I have placed 3 fields in a non repeating frame.
When I run the report, I get a REP-1213 error - Filed 'xxx' at frequency below its group.
When I place the 3 fields ina repeating frame, it works, because the repeating frame property inspector allows me to enter the group and the non repeating frame does not.
So, my question is, when and how does one use a non repeating frame.
I need to understand the principle behind it.
Thank you

You mainly use regular frames to group objects together or prevent them from being overwritten. Check the help on About Frames.

Vertical spacing out of wack in IE, but perfect in Safari?

I have newbie question about vertical spacing in the frame
based design of the site I am working on. I did not design the
website but I was just asked to take over the basic updating and
maintenance of the content.
www.brainoptimization.com
When I view my site in IE or Safari for Windows it looks just
the way it is supposed to.
But when viewed in Internet Explorer for windows the vertical
spacing in the left column (as well as the spacing between the
first 5 paragraps in the right column) is completely out of whack!
IE for win puts huge chucks of space between the cells where none
was put. Any idea what is going on and how I can correct this
issue? I am using Dreamweaver 8 on a mac. Any help would be
appreciated. Thank you.
Cheers.

Not sure how that page would look perfect in any browser
truthfully :-)
In Firefox there are huge pages in the left column. That
mosaic picture is
about halfway down the page. The styling of the paragraphs is
all over the
place because nearly every paragraph on the page has a new
style applied to
it. From the code I can see well over 100 'styles' ....
someone has really
overdone the use of creating new styles - or using the
property inspector to
create new styles for each paragaph. There are numerous empty
cells with
the table structure, many colspans etc., that make for a very
fragile page
indeed - hence the reason for it not working cross
browser/platform.
In all honesty, I would start over - it looks like a simple 2
column
structure and shouldn't be a problem with getting it to
display correctly in
*every* browser :) Sorry for the bad news.
One thing you can try first off at least (I haven't looked at
the code too
much after seeing all those styles)., place the mouse cursor
into the left
column and in the property inspector set the vertical
alignment to 'top'.,
maybe that will move the contents of that left column to the
top rather than
half way down the page... may or may not work - depending on
whether those
colspans get in the way.

Layout problem - multiple repeating frames

Hi, I have a layout problem, pls help!
Short report description:
- Repeating Frame1 - gives 1 record, contains all other frames, variable vertical elasticity
- - Frame2 - contains all frames beneath - variable vertical elasticity
- - - Frame3 - variable vertical elasticity
- - - - some boilerplates
- - - - Repeating Frame 2 - various number of records, fixed vertical elasticity, height 100
- - - - Repeating Frame 3 - various number of records, fixed vertical elasticity, height 30
- - - - .. other repeating frames ..
When reaching the bottom of a page, and there is not enough room to print a record for Repeating frame 2, a record from Repeating frame 3 is printed in the bottom.
Next page starts with the remaining records from Repeating frame 2.. and then the remaining records from Repeating frame 3.
For example:
Page 1:
Rep frame 2 - Record 1
Rep frame 2 - Record 2
Rep frame 2 - Record 3
Rep frame 3 - Record 1 -- not enough space to print Record 4, so this record is printed
Page 2:
Rep frame 2 - Record 4
Rep frame 2 - Record 5
Rep frame 3 - Record 2
How can i ensure that all records from Rep frame 2 is printed before records from Rep frame 3?

Hi, thanks for helping me out!
I tried to use anchors, but they had no effect when connecting top of 3 to bottom of 2, got the same layout.
I then tried to create frames with vertical elasticity expand around both rep frame 2 and rep frame 3, and it seems to do the job.
- Repeating Frame1 - gives 1 record, contains all other frames, variable vertical elasticity
- - Frame2 - contains all frames beneath - variable vertical elasticity
- - - Frame3 - variable vertical elasticity
- - - - some boilerplates
- - - - Frame 4 - vertical elasticity expand
- - - - - - Repeating Frame 2 - various number of records, fixed vertical elasticity, height 100
- - - - Frame 5 - vertical elasticity expand
- - - - - - Repeating Frame 3 - various number of records, fixed vertical elasticity, height 30
and so on..
Thanks again

How to reduce the size of the mother frame ?

Hi all,
I have the following scenario, where there is one outer frame A1, and inside this frame there is another repeating fram A2. Data inside the A2 may exist and may not exist in the frame when run. Now, how can I reduce the A2 frame so that when there is no record inside A2 so that the data in the frame A1 will come closer. Right now, because the A2 frame are allocate some space hence even no data shown the space is the gap for displaying data in frame A1. So the data displayed in frame A1 are gap will certain space and I want to reduce the space.
How should I do then ?
Thanks.

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 to set the Title twice for Down/Across Repeating Frame?

Hi All,
I'm using a repeating frame with Down/Across value for Print Direction Property, and make it's size small enough to show the data twice in columns.
But how to specify it's titles? Even it is shown once or twice?
If the data is shown once I need to show the titles once and if the data is shown twice I need to show the titles twice
Don't hesitate to ask me any thing if there is something not clear please!
Note:
I'm using Reports 6i.

So, you would like it like this?:
| title | title |
| no. 1 | no. 2 |
|       |       |
| no. 3 | no. 4 |
|       |       |
-----------------I don't think tihs will work, since the title above the repeating-frame will never know about the number of columns.
If your repeating frame has horizontal- and vertical-elasticity = fixed, you could do it like this:
| title | title |
| no. 1 | no. 2 |
|       |       |
| no. 3 | no. 4 |
|       |       |
-----------------You then have to create a format-trigger on "title" with the following code:
IF( mod( :rownum, 4 ) IN ( 1, 2 ) )
THEN
    return( TRUE );
ELSE
return( FALSE );
END IF;The "4" stands for the max number of repeating-frames per page, the "1, 2" means the number of columns per page.

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,

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
