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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Page numbers are repeating in Page Thumbnail view.

    Using Adobe Actobate XI Standard with Windows.  When I in insert another adobe document into my current document (by either using the tool Insert from File or dragging it from another screen), my page numbers in the thumbnails get the same page number.  For example, original document is 5 pages, insert a page 6 from somewhere else and it is now listed as a second page 5.  Insert a page 7 and now I have three that are labeled page 5.  How can I stop/fix this.  Thanks

    Those are page labels, not page numbers, and they don't have to be in order, or to use the same scheme.
    To set them all as the actual pages numbers click the Options button in the Pages panel and then select Number Pages. Select "All" and then your numbering scheme and you're done.

  • 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 ...

  • 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 I’ve 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 I’ve 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
    1,2,3…on different pages but I want all of them on the same page. I am not sure which property to set, I’ve 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.

  • Display a repeating number in repeating frame.

    Hi all,
    using forms6, reports6(6.0.8.20.1) on database 81741 in web-based arch, windows2000 servers.
    On the report page, I have a repeating frame with data extracted from database. I used to mark starting of the frame with a '*' sign to make visible where a new frame started on report. Users want that to be replaced by (increasing) numbers with frame. I donot want to keep that as a column in database because the order it might be kept in database would differ from shown in reports & in that case, it might show on reports as 3,4,2,1.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Abhi.

    Ok, I am back with a new practical issue. Our requirement was to to display numbers in repeating frame. That we met. Now, we place a dot/decimel after a number in any letter etc. I am trying to place a dot after number.
    I use a independent text object to place a dot after the new field we created. it works fine for 1 to 9. At number 10, that 'dot' doesnot move foreward with the number & dot is hidden under 10. If I move dot one place foreward, it shows fine for 2 digit numbers, but looks dumb for 1 digit number. Changing the horizontal elasticity property of the 'F_' item to all possible value doesnot align dot after number.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks a lot,
    Abhi.

  • 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,
