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

Printing order of pages in case of multiple repeating frames

Hi,
I am developing a custom invoice report with layout (everything included in main section) spread across 2 pages.
The whole of first page (invoice document) is in one repeating frame and the other page (support document which is a matrix) is in another repeating frame.
When printing for multiple invoices I want the support document to be printed along with each invoice. Currently all the invoices are being printed together and the support documents are printed together.
Is there any solution for the above problem?
I tried the following
-Including the support document in the trailer section
-Including the whole report in one single repeating frame, but this doesn’t work for me as there is a header part in the invoice which should not print on support document
-Increasing the vertical panels to 2, but this is resulting in blank pages
Thanks in advance.
-Srikanth

I am sorry for the all the trouble, I guess I was not clear. I will try to explain how the frames are now and how the output is.
Below is how the frames are alligned in the object navigator
M_1 (Main Frame)
-- R_1 (Main Repeating Frame)
----M_HDR_INV (Header frame)
----M_INV_LINES (Invoice Lines
----M_SUMMARY (summary details)
Currect output
INVOICE Page 1
Header
lines....
INVOICE Page 2
lines....
SUMMARY Page 3
Desired Output
INVOICE Page 1
Header
lines....
INVOICE Page 2
Header
lines....
SUMMARY Page 3
Let me know if you would like to see the copy of my rdf.
my email is [email protected]
BTW I am using reports 6i.
Thanks

Page numbering - multiple repeating frames

Hi,
It’s a bit tricky in explaining this but I shall try to do my best.
This is an invoice report with 2 parts (everything in the main section), main invoice and summary. The main invoice is in repeating frame R2 and summary (matrix report) is in repeating frame R3. Both the repeating frames are encompassed in repeating frame R1.
Each part of the report should have page numbering (1 of 2 type) and the numbering should be independent of each other (for main invoice and summary).
Main invoice has page numbering reset (both current page number and total number of pages) at R2 and summary's page numbering is being reset at R3. The report is working fine for a single invoice but when running it for multiple invoices the output is as below
Inv# 100 - Main Section 1 of 2
------------------------------2 of 2
Summary 1 of 1
Inv# 101 - Main Section 2 of 3
------------------------------3 of 3
Summary 3 of 3
Inv# 102 - Main Section 2 of 3
------------------------------3 of 3
Summary 3 of 3
where as the desired output is
Inv# 100 - Main Section 1 of 2
------------------------------2 of 2
Summary 1 of 1
Inv# 101 - Main Section 1 of 2
------------------------------2 of 2
Summary 1 of 1
Inv# 102 - Main Section 1 of 2
------------------------------1 of 2
Summary 1 of 1
It would be worth not to change the report's design as there are many frames, fields,..... but I don't know how to resolve this numbering problem.
I am using reports 6i.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Any inputs would be appreciated.

Multiple repeating frames with same source printing same Values

Dear all,
I have a report which is having more than 10 repating frames in this 4 repating frames have same source assingned,during the report execution just before printing the repeating frames at various levels am inserting records into the source table assignd to the 4 repating frames.i actually want the repeating frames to print values i just inserted in to the table,diffrent repeating frames should print diffrent values.
i have put source query like this;
select * from <table> where print_status is null.
just before printing the repeating frames am inserting values in to this table
insert into <table> values ();
print repeating frame 1
insert
print repeating frame 2
insert
print repeating frame 3
insert
print repeating frame 4
in this particular case the report is printing only one row which i have inserted before printing the repeating frame 1.(basically the query is not refreshing at various grups)
I want to print records which is inserted at each level .using one source query and 4 diffrent repeating frames.
Hope am clear with my query.

Dear Kumar,
You are exactly right, but during the execution of the report at different interval I am modifying the data of the source table.
Dear Andreas,
Currently am modifying an existing report which is designed few years before, and having hell lot of frames and repeating frames and I need to include the above said portion between these repeating frames. The major reason why i tried to adopt this method is, during the execution of the report at each different intervals I am doing some calculation and then inserting the results into a global temporary table, again the same global temporary table am trying to print it in different places .Since I have multiple rows to print from this table I am using a repeating frame.
I have resolved this issue using packages and assigning values into packaged variables. But I had a gut feeling that declaring too much variables might confuse others especially some other developer.

Repeating Frame leaves blank area on next page before record

I have a report with multiple repeating frames. Near the bottom of the first page the last repeating frame starts to print. If there are too many records to fit on the first page, they show up on subsequent pages. That is OK. However, on the 2nd, 3rd, etc. pages the records are part way down the page with much blank space between them and the header above.
I would like the records to start at the top of the next page just beneath the header. Also, because of another repeating frame before this one, I can't even be sure if this particular frame will always start printing on the first page.
I have tried properties such as page break, print object on, page protect, etc. They hve not resolved this issue to date.
Thanks in advance from a beginner.
DT

hello david
in this case you must consider what is printed on next pages ... for this i recomend newbie to colorize each frame and repeating frame to see what is there. from your describtion is possible that there are some objects on your frame with print condition set only to first page ... so they is not displayed on second, ... pages - this could happen f.e. with added descriptions, colmn heading, ... so my advice is to look why the space is there and then (maybe) make a correction ...

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...

Multiple child tables and repeating frames

I have three tables(A,B,and C) where A is the parent of both B, and C. There is no relation between B and C.In the data model, There are three queries, one to each table and I have set up the parent/child relationship in the data diagram.
In the layout Window I have a master repeating frame which breaks on each record for A. And within that master frame I have two constrained repeating frames for both B and C in that order designed to print all on the same page.
The problem is that when there is more data for B, the extra records are not displayed .For overflow conditions, I would want A and C information to be reprinted along the top and bottom of each successive page while the middle section would contine on with the extra B records. (I realize this is similar to having header (A) and footer (B) information in the margin, but it is not quite the same thing since B and C depend on A's repeating frame.)

I'm assuming that all the rows of (C) can always fit onto the page and don't overflow to the next. If so then you'll need the following:
A Group frame "M_A" that completely surrounds (A) fields
A Group frame "M_B" that surrounds (B) and defines the space available for (B) to print
A Group frame "M_C" that surrounds (C)
Set the properties against each frame:
M_A:
Vertical Elasticity: "Variable"
Print Object On: "All Pages"
Base Printing On: "Enclosing Object"
M_B:
Vertical Elasticty: "Fixed"
(Re-size this frame in the layout to define the space available for (B))
M_C:
Vertical Elasticity: "Variable"
Print Object On: "All Pages"
Base Printing On: "Enclosing Object"
You should end up with:
A.....
B1....
B2....
B3....
C1....
C2....
A.....
B4....
C1....
C2....

Problems accessing parameters within repeating frames.

I hope this is a more readable version of the problem I just submitted.
This is the overall layout of a report I am currently working on
and having problems with, using Oracle Reports 6i.
Departments Commitments Obligations
Dept 1 - Dept 1 Title
RCC 1 - RCC Title
RIC
Non-pay by RIC 308 1 1
Non-pay by RIC 438 1 1
Non-pay by RIC 514 1 1
Subtotal 3 3
Pay by RIC 514 2 2
Total RCC 1 5 5
RCC 2 - RCC Title
RIC
Non-pay by RIC 308 1 1
Non-pay by RIC 438 1 1
Non-pay by RIC 514 1 1
Subtotal 3 3
Pay by RIC 514 1 1
Total RCC 2 5 5
Dept n
Total Dept 1
Non-pay by RIC 308 2 2
Non-pay by RIC 438 2 2
Non-pay by RIC 514 2 2
Subtotal 6 6
Pay RIC 514 4 4
Total Dept1 10 10
I use a format trigger to calculate the data for
Non-pay by RIC 308 (the most inner frame).
If (:RIC = '308') then
Return (True);
Else
Return (False);
End if;
And I do something equivalent for the other two RICs, RIC = 438,
and RIC = 514.
With this approach, I am able to calculate subtotals and totals
for all the RCCs for each Dept.
I work one frame at a time, from the inner frame to the outer
frame.
My problem is to get the Total Dept section at the end of each
Department.
Total Dept 1
Non-pay by RIC 308 2 2
Non-pay by RIC 438 2 2
Non-pay by RIC 514 2 2
Subtotal 6 6
Pay RIC 514 4 4
Total Dept1 10 10
I get a frame error when I try this code in a format trigger
If (:RIC = '308') then
Return (True);
Else
Return (False);
End if;
I know this trigger fails because I am trying to reference the ":RIC"
parameter that is in a different repeating frame.
How can I check for the RIC at this level?
Is there a better way to tackle this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Carlos

Sounds like the source data for the Graph is the wrong Group.

Repeating frame spacing Problem in Reports 6i

I have a Matrix with Group report. Now I have two sections (one is matrix section, second is Grand totals section).
After I run the report layout ,Matrix section data (repeating frame) is appearing at one spacing but the other repeating frame in Grand Totals - appears in the same page (below the Matrix data section) with different spacing and aligning.
I’ve attached the output of the sample report. You can find the aligning/spacing problem between Matrix data (one repeating frame) and Grand Total data (another repeating frame)
This is the problem, I have tried changing all the properties, but all in vain. I feel that the repeating frame in Grand Totals appears exactly at the same position as the first one.
Please help...

Hi,
There are no such limitations with Reports. If I understand properly, you run the Report twice, in each run, you are trying to execute different query, and you generate two dilimited Reports output files? This should work fine. Try out the latest Reports 6i patch-10 for this. You can even approach Oracle Support with your testcase. FYI, with Reports 6i patch-11, a new feature "dlimited data" is introduced which will give delimited output with a data dump i.e it would not be dependent upon the Reports layout. You can probably try out this new feature also.
Thanks,
Rohit Hi Rohit,
Thanks for the information.
well I am generating single output file on each run .
the problem is somewhat funny.
I have build query2 in data model after query1.
query 1 is giving me correct output both in .PDF and delimiter version.
But query2 is giving me 0 byte file for delimiter version although in .PDF it is running fine.
When I took out query2 to another module it is running fine for both.
I hope this make sense.
Moreover if u still not clear about the problem and thinks that u can help me out please send me ur mail id so that I can send you the RDF copy.
Thanks

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.

HT1349 MY IPHONE 4 THAT IS ONE MONTH OLD IS SENDING MULTIPLE REPEAT TEXT MESSAGES AND EVERYONE I KNOW IS ANNOYED WITH ME, IVE READ THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THAT IS TRUE OR IF THERE IS A WAY TO FIX IT? I CAN NOT SEEM TO GET AN ANSWER

My iphone 4 is about a month old ad it continues to send multiple repeat texts message to the point where I have stop sending texts because everyone is annoyed with me, is there a solution that anyone knows of? I am hearing from sprint that it is apple's issue and from apple it is a sprint issue. They said I can take it to the store but its one month old and I find it hard to beleive that they do not have an easier solutions, i dont have time to or the patience to give up my phone for three days. This can't be right correct? If anyone has founf a solution I would really appreciate some help as Im sure you can hear I am frustrated.
thank you

It is a sprint issue and other carriers have that same problem. I get multiple copies of texts from other carriers all the time to my iphone. It isn't the iphone, it is the carrier sending the text message several times because they haven't received and ack message from the recepient.

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.

Problem with graphs on repeating frames

Is it possible to use graphs showing correct data within repeating frames?
We experienced problems with graphs within repeating frames, each occurrence of a graph shows the same picture (using data that corresponds to the first frame).
Tnx in advance.

Repeating frames...simple problem

I am new to Oracle Reports and have run into a simple issue which I am not able to fix.
Suppose that Ive a table Numbers as shown below:
SQL> desc numbers
Name Null? Type
COL1 NUMBER
SQL> select * from numbers;
COL1
1
2
3
4
5
Now I want to build a report manually(not using the wizard).
In the datamodel Ive given the query as (select * from numbers).
In the layout model I am having one field and a repeating frame pointing to the group of the query. When I run the report it shows
1,2,3on different pages but I want all of them on the same page. I am not sure which property to set, Ive tried the maximum records per page for the repeating frame but it doesn't help!
If I build the layout using the layout wizard then I am able to achieve the desired results but I'll still like to know which properties exactly control this behaviour.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Three ideas -
Your repeating frame is as large as a full page and the elasticity is set to fixed.
You have page protect set to on.
You have a page break set before or after.
Easy enough to create the two reports and compare the properties in the property palette.

Repeating Frame Problem - please guide

Dear Gurus,
I am developing a report in reports 6i. The structure of report is something like this.
M1
R1
f1
f2
R2
M1 is a fixed frame containing all other elements. R1 is repeating frame containing
2 fields and one repeating frame.
Now while printing records of R2 overflow to next logical page. that's fine but space of f1 and f2 also get repeated on to next page.
To give an analogy :-
Purchase Order Report
po number - f1
supplier - f2
po lines -r2
next page
empty space present ( equal to the required fields r1 and r2 )
po_lines
Now point is i want the Po lines to continue without the space for fileds for f1 and f2 repeating.
and yes i kept vertical elasticity for M1,R1 and R2 as variable.
How can i solve it.
please guide.
regards ravi

Print Object on property it is "First Page". the structure is like
<code>
M1
R1
f1
f2
R2
</code>
Problem is when r2 overflows to next page, the space for f1 and f2 is also there on next page. What i want is content of r2 should come at the start of the page rather than at the location where its fixed when it's overflowing to next page.
regards
