Page Breaks in Repeating Frame's

In my report, my query is a 184 column table. Select query is also a 184 column table.
There are Repeating frames in my layout editor, each contains 10 columns. From the 2nd repeating frame onwards, the page break before property is "Yes". Now if, for the 1st repeating frame there is data (10 columns only) Then the rest of the page is blank. All the page break before property is "Yes" How do I avoid these blank pages

Hi,
the "page break" properties are only active in parent-child relationships. So if your frame1 is not expandable vertical, frame2 is no child object ob frame1 and so the property page break after of frame1 is not relevant for frame2. So change your layout, that frame2 is child of frame1 and frame3 is child of frame2, then the page break after will run as you expect. You can do this via the property vertical elasticity or via using an anchor between the frames.

Page Break Before & Repeating Frame (Reports 10G - Windows)

Hi to all,
I have to give page break when a condition met in a tabular report.Like it s advised I tried some layout objects with page break before property true and wrote their return code true if this criteria occurs. But whatever I tried, I couldnt get my desired output.It gives page break but repeats a blank repeating frame in the next page but only with that object I added later with page break property. Anybody have an idea ?
Thanks...

Hi,
sounds like there's no child object for your object with page break before. This property has only impact of the object itself and all it's child objects. An object is a child object of another object, if the position of this objects has impact of the own position. This is only the case, if the parent object is vertical expandable and the child object is horizontally overlapping the virtual expand-region, or the child-object is anchored to the parent object.
So if you have this layout:
blue box fixed size
red box fixed size
yellow box fixed size
and you set page break before to the red box, you will get:
blue box
yellow box
-- page break
red box
If the red box is verical expandable you will get:
blue box
--page break*
red box
yellow box
So in your tabluar report your field of the report should be in a frame and this frame should be child object of your new object which must be vertical expandable or anchor them together.

Page breaks inside repeating frame

Hi,
I am developing a statutory report for India Localisation. In this report there is a repeating frame which has three sections inside. I want to ensure that each of these section prints on a new page all the time. Of course there will be some page wastage, but since the report is statutory it has a prescribed format which mandates this requirement. Each section is like a tabular column and it doesnt look good if it prints without any page break in between the sections.
Here is what i have tried, I have created three child frames inside the parent repeating frame and I tried to set page break after, page break before and page protect for each of these sections and I also tried various combinations of these 3 settings. But still I couldnot get it right.:-( It will be of great help to me if any one could suggest me a better approach.

Hi,
the "page break" properties are only active in parent-child relationships. So if your frame1 is not expandable vertical, frame2 is no child object ob frame1 and so the property page break after of frame1 is not relevant for frame2. So change your layout, that frame2 is child of frame1 and frame3 is child of frame2, then the page break after will run as you expect. You can do this via the property vertical elasticity or via using an anchor between the frames.

Report, Make a linkage group for two pages each page has a Repeating frame

I Have two pages. And each page have a repeating frame inside a main frame.
And two pages have a relational data. So, I should to make a linkage group for this two page.
In my case,
PAGE 1.
*M_1 Main frame start
R_1 Repeating Frame start
Personal Data Part 1.
R_1 Repeating Frame end
*M_1 Main Frame end
PAGE 2.
*M_2
R_2
Personal Data Part 2.
R_2
*M_2
If there are 3 peoples information, Repeating frame will display continuously.
In my case,
page 1
page 1
page 1
page 2
page 2
page 2
But I want to do the following.
Page 1. -- 1st person's data
Page 2.
Page 1. -- 2nd person's
Page 2.
Page 1. -- 3rd.
Page 2. so on...
I need your help.
please let me know how to solve this problem.

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?

Swati

Group above master/detail report; page break causes repeat of master frame

Hi
I have a a group above master/detail report; when there is a page break part way through the master frame it causes the whole master frame to be repeated on the next page. I don't want this to happen, I just want the remainder of the master frame to be displayed on the next page. any ideas?
TIA

Hi
I've tried switching the "Page Protect" to No at the page level and the "Print Object On" is set to "First Page" but it doesn't solve the problem. The whole master frame is repeated on the next page when a page break occurs part way through. The master/detail Repeating Frame "Print Object On" is set to "Last Page".
Any other ideas?
TIA

Page Breaks and empty frames

I have several repeating frames, and a Page Break After on each one. This works fine, but if a frame is null/empty, it still causes a page break.
Is there a way to prevent the page break if the repeating frame has no data?
I have Vertical = Variable on each frame.
thanks in advance,
Mark

Try using format mask.
e.g
if :myfield is null then
return false;
else
return true;
end if;
*** :myfield is the data field in that frame.
Hope it 'll work for you.

Oracle Reports - page numbering for repeating frames

Hello,
I have an Oracle Report that has one parent repeating frame containing several children repeating frames. One repeating frame has a maximum of three records per page. If the records do not exceed the maximum, page numbering is fine. If there are more than three records it creates a new page. The new page appends to the end of the report and throws off the page numbering. I changed the source of the page numbering from page number to panel number. The panel number gives the best results. All pages are numbered with the exception of the appended page(s). Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

YES!!!, change the PRINT condition of your
panel field to ALL instead of FIRST.

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.

Page Numbering on repeating frame with 3 logical pages per physical page

We have a report in Reports 6i that prints a form on continous multi-part paper. We are converting the report to print to a laser printer with three forms per page. Each form has page numbers in the format of "page 1 of 15". The "page" refers to the form number and the "of" refers to the total number of forms for the outer group. So we could have page 1 of 15 through page 15 of 15 followed by page 1 of 112, etc.
I have tried all of the suggestions on how to base page numbers on a repeating frame and non of them seem to work. All the examples seem to be based on the idea that the logical page contains 1 or more physical pages; whereas my situation is that I have multiple logical pages on each physical page.
Does anyone have a thought on how to do this?

Create one summary column (lets say cs_pagenumber) in inner group and provide following:
Function: Count
Source: any field from innrer group
Reset At: outer group
Create one summary column (lets say cs_totalpages) in outer group and provide following:
Function: Count
Source: any field from innrer group
Reset At: outer group
(above will work if one field is printed only once in a form)
Create a field in inner repeating frame for cs_pagenumber and create a boilerplate text (&cs_totalpages) in the same repating frame for cs_totalpages. This should solve the problem.
Hope this helps.

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.

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 ...

Page Breaks on Reports 3.0

How can I set the number of lines to print per page, or set page breaks, so that my report doesn't continually spool, in Reports 3.0?

Hi
Set the property 'Maximum Records per Page' for appropriate Repeating Frame.

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.

Is it possible to show the same repeating frame in 2 columns?

Hello, and thank you all in advance for any help!
Here is the situation:
I have simple report with 1 repeating frame and 3 data columns in it.
I want to be able to have a second column on each page that continues the data from the repeating frame. That is to say, one the left the data would go from top to bottom like normal, then instead of going to page 2, it would go into a column to the right on the same page.
The repeating frame is small enough to fit at least 2 of them horizontally.
I cannot seem to find the way to make this layout work. Is it possible?
Thanks again,
-Arin

Nevermind everyone!
I got it to work with Print Down/Across...silly me.
Thanks anyway!

Number of records in repeating frame

Is there a way to assign number of records per page to a repeating frame
at runtime?
thanks

thanks for your input, but the reason I can't define the number of record in the
property inspector is because i can't tell how many records will be retrieved until
runtime.
I am looking for a way to say:
if condition = this then
total records = 30
elsif condition = that then
total records = 28
and so on...

Headers at top AND bottom of a repeating frame.

I've created a simple report through the Oracle Reports wizard. It created column headings which are on at the top of each page, and the repeating frame which spans several pages. What I am now trying to add are column "headings" which are at the bottom of each page. Similar to the Headings that are defined above the repeating frame, but under the repeating frame.
Problem is, the repeating frame spans several pages, but the "Headings" at the bottom are only showing on the last page. I do have the preferences set to All Pages. I can get all sorts of things to work and print on each page ABOVE the repeating frame, but not on each page BELOW the repeating frame.
Something simple?

Header, Main and Trailer section are something completely different. They have nothing to do with header and trialer on a page, but are completely different sections of a report (like having an introduction letter in the header section, and the report in the main section).
If you want to do what you want, do this:
- In the layout editor, expand the group frame (GF) around the repeating frame to almost the height of the page.
- Set the vertical elasticity of GF to Fixed.
- Copy the header group frame and it's text fields to a position outside GF. Rename it to Footer group frame (FGF).
- Drag FGF and it's items to a position below GF.
Hope this is clear.
