How to suppress a blank section in crystal report

how to suppress a blank section in crystal report. although i have set the property
"suppress blank section "=true ,still i m unable to suppress my section
please help me to cope up this issue.
thanks in advance

One recommendation I make, when troubleshooting suppression issues, is to put a visible border of the section, area or object to be suppressed, and borders for all objects contained in the section or area. This will help isolate what's suppressed, and whether the section is truly blank or has content that's blank.
Furthermore, I recommend indicating which SDK and what version you're using when posting.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

How to add a field object to group header section in crystal report document?

Hi All, I have got two questions mentioned below, please share your inputs. 1)I want to know whether it is possible to add a field object to header section in crystal report document programmatically? I am using crystal runtime for visual studio. I know that using RAS we can do it, but I want to do it using managed library of crystal runtime. Please suggest. 2) I am doing a POC where I am using RAS (unmanaged library) to manipulated crystal report document. Please see code below: var dbTable = _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables[0]; var dbField = dbTable.DataFields.FindField(item.ColumnName, CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CrFieldDisplayNameTypeEnum.crFieldDisplayNameName, CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CeLocale.ceLocaleEnglishUS); CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject fieldObject = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject(); fieldObject.DataSourceName = dbField.Name; fieldObject.FieldValueType = dbField.Type; var groupHeaderArea = _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportDefinition.GroupHeaderArea[0].Sections[i]; _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.Add(fieldObject, groupHeaderArea); In above code last line throwing exception : "The report field type is not valid." at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportObjectControllerClass.Add(ISCRReportObject ReportObject, Section Section, Int32 nIndex) Thanks, Jai

Hi Jaikumar
As per the SCN Rules of engagement, one question per thread please.
Re. your 1st question. Adding a field to a report is considered to be a report creation APIs (RCAPI). Only the RAS SDK has RCAPIs, so you can not use plain jane crystal APIs. For how to with RAS, see the examples here: NET RAS SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
Also, consult the Developer Help Files:
Report Application Server .NET SDK Developer Guide
Report Application Server .NET API Guide
Re. your second question, please create a new discussion.

How to increase the width of the Crystal Report

Hello All
How to increase the width of the Crystal report template in the CR designer in .NET 2005 editor ?
I need to design a report which has to accomodate more number of columns.So achieve that i need to redesign the report having more width.
CrystalReports version 10.2.3600.0
Thanks in advance
Srivatsa

HI Srivatsa,
You can make a wider report by creating virtual pages. Virtual pages are the extra pages to the right of the main page that get created to accommodate cross-tabs that are wider than a single page. By inserting a cross-tab in a report then suppressing it, you can create a report that is multiple pages wide.
Insert and Suppress a Cross-Tab
1. On the 'Insert' menu, click 'Cross-Tab'.
2. In the Cross-Tab Expert, click any field and move it into the 'Columns' box, and click any field and move it into the 'Summarized Fields' box. Do not move any fields into the 'Rows' box.
3. Click the 'Customize Style' tab and select the following check boxes:
" Suppress Empty Rows
" Suppress Empty Columns
" Suppress Row Grand Totals
" Suppress Column Grand Totals
4. Click the 'OK' button and then insert the cross-tab into the Report Header section.
5. On the 'Report' menu, click 'Format Sections'. Click 'Report Header' and select the 'Underlay Following Sections' check box.
When you run the report you will not see the cross-tab, but you will be able to scroll to the right and see multiple virtual pages.
====================
NOTES:
" As there are no rows to the Cross-Tab, it does not carry on to Page 2 and the virtual pages do not appear past the first page.
" To increase or decrease the number of virtual pages do one of the following:
- Limit the number of records for the field in the 'Column' box of the 'Cross-Tab Expert' using the 'Select Expert'.
- Change the width of the 'Column' field in the Cross-Tab by moving the edges of the field.
====================
How to Insert Fields on Virtual Pages
You cannot drag-and-drop a field onto a virtual page, you can only do so on the main page. To get a field to appear on a virtual page:
1. Insert the field on the main page.
2. Click the 'Preview' tab.
3. Drag the right edge of the field to the right, onto the virtual page.
4. Drag the left edge of the field to the right, onto the virtual page.
Hope this helps!!

How to add/create additional page in Crystal Report Layout SAP B1

Hi,
I wanna ask about How to add/create additional page in Crystal Report Layout SAP B1 ?
I want when user print Purchase Order then on last page also print some page like Penalty Clause etc.
Pls help me to find the solution.
Br,
Thomas Marsetyo

Hi,
In your report footer, set it to create a new page before it is printed (In 'Section Expert', select the Report Footer -> 'Paging' tab -> Check 'New Page Before' checkbox). Throw your Terms & Conditions into the Report Footer section.
If you already have a Report Footer that you want to keep, just split the footer into two sections (Right-click the Report Footer section -> 'Insert Section Below') and follow the same procedure for the newly created section.

How to build Table of Content in Crystal Reports

Hi,
Initially, I am looking for an article about how to build Table of Content in Crystal Reports in table-based approach----including how to write to DB table from report:
http://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2011950.asp
However, the link above is invalid. I also searched through SDN articles, but no luck.
Can someone please forward me the link if you happend to know?---does not have to link to this specific article, any working solution is just fine.
I am aware of another approach which put the TOC to the end of the report(http://www.ml-consult.co.uk/cryst-05.htm), which probably does not satisfy the requirement.
If you have other solutions, your share is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a ton!

How to view the History of a Crystal Reports iView in EP6?

How to view the History of a Crystal Reports iView in EP6?
Our Crystal reports are viewed via Crystal Enterprise and are both BW and non-BW Crystal reports.
I have looked at the three supplied iViews from Business Objects (alert, folder and thumbnail) but I have only been able to access the last instance or run on demand a CR.
Our users would prefer to see a listing of the past runs of the report and choose which report to view. What parameters need set in the EP6 iView to see the history of a report?

Hi Heather,
it is correct that there is no sample iView that shows the History of Crystal Reports that are stored in Crystal Enterprise but there a sample codes on our web site and there are sample codes as part of the SDK documentation that show how to call the history and you should be able to take the code and create your own Java or ASP iView based on that.

This issue can be solved when you create the reports without needing to write any extra code. I haven't tested this solution because I don't have any data to test it against.First you want to make sure that you are using a UNICODE font which I'm sure you are probably already doing. Then to configure the "Right to Left" you can right click on any field and select "Format Text" or "Format Field". You should see a "Paragraph" tab. In there you can set the content to be "Left to Right" or "Right to Left". The button on the right allows you to make this setting conditional on a parameter value or something like that. I hope this helps. Rob Horne <a href="/blog/10">Rob's blog - http://diamond.businessobjects.com/blog/10</a>

How to enable show SQL Query in Crystal report tool

Hi,
How can we enable the show SQL Query under Database tab in crystal report...
We have a requirement to modify the SQL query in Crystal reports.
Thanks,
Gana

Gana,
CR has an "Add Command" feature that will allow you to use hand-coded SQL as your data source.
Look at Defining an SQL Command in CR's online help (F1).
If a command was used in the original report creation, it's a simple matter to go in and edit that SQL.
If the report was not originally built w/ a Command you may find it difficult to switch over. In most cases it easier to start over from scratch, creating a new, blank report, that uses the command.

Awaiting for your reply.
Thanks in advance.

Here's a routine that also searches for subreports to set the log on info. Simply remove that aprt to set the main report logon info:
IDatabaseTablePtr pTable;
//get first table
pTable = m_Report->Database->Tables->GetItem(1) ;
long lTableCount = m_Report->Database->Tables->Count;
for( long lTable=1; lTable<=lTableCount; lTable++ )
 pTable = m_Report->Database->Tables->GetItem(lTable);
 pTable->ConnectionProperties->DeleteAll();
 pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("DSN", "Name of your DSN");
 pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("Database", "Demo");
 pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("Password", "sa");
 pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("User ID", "1Oem2000");
// Log on the tables of the subreports.
long lSectionCount = m_Report->Sections->Count;
for( long lSection=1; lSection<=lSectionCount; lSection++ )
 ISectionPtr pSection = m_Report->Sections->Item[lSection];
 long lSubreportCount = pSection->ReportObjects->Count;
 for( long lSubreport=1; lSubreport<=lSubreportCount; lSubreport++ )
 IReportObjectPtr pSubreportObject = pSection->ReportObjects->Item[lSubreport];
 CRObjectKind crObjectKind;
 pSubreportObject->get_Kind(&crObjectKind);
 if( crObjectKind == crSubreportObject )
 ISubreportObjectPtr SubReportPtr = pSubreportObject;
 IReportPtr pSubReport = SubReportPtr->OpenSubreport();
 long lTableCount = pSubReport->Database->Tables->Count;
 for( long lTable=1; lTable<=lTableCount; lTable++ )
 pTable = m_Report->Database->Tables->GetItem(lTable);
 pTable->ConnectionProperties->DeleteAll();
 //pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("DSN", "dwcb12003");
 pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("Database", "CrystalEport_DB");
 pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("Password", "sa");
 pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("User ID", "1Oem2000");
If that doesn't work you need to tell us what is the error you are getting and paste in the code you are using.
