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.

  • 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.

  • 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 ...

    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?

  • 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.

  • How can I restrict the total no. of recs. per physical page

    Hi !
    I have created a report and I am saving that in a text file. The
    problem is that when I try to take the output on the printer
    then the total no of records overflows to the next pages and the
    next page heading comes much below to it's designated place.
    Max.no of records property in the repaeting frame is for the
    logical page.
    How can I restrict the max. number of records per physical page ?
    Any pointer will be welcome,

    Just for fun (and in case this wasn't done to death in the other thread), the rule posted here states:
    Most years have 365 days, but a leap year has 366 days. That adds up to 52 weeks (where each week is exactly 7 days) PLUS 1 or 2 additional days. The year 2012 has exactly 366 days.Now if the year starts on a Sunday in a non-leap year, you end up with 53 Sundays. Or if either of the first two days lands on a Sunday during a leap year, then you can also get 53 Sundays.>
    which allows a calculation like this:
    with test_data as
         ( select rownum + 1999 as test_year from dual
           connect by rownum <= 15 )
    select test_year
         , case
              when first_day = 'SUN'
              or ( first_day = 'SAT' and leap_year = 'Y' )
                 then 53
              else 52
           end as sundays
    from   ( select test_year
                  , to_char(to_date(d.test_year||'-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD'),'DY', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH') first_day
                  , case extract(day from last_day(to_date(d.test_year||'-02','YYYY-MM'))) when 29 then 'Y' else 'N' end as leap_year
             from   test_data d );

  • Repeating Frame with mutiple lines -- Page Break

    I have a report with repeating frame R11. R11 has several fiels
    spread across 4 lines.
    We have a case in which there is a pagebrek, while this
    repeating frame R11 is printed. Fields in the first line of R11
    are printed in the first page. Then when it continues to print
    the repeating frame in the next page, it is not printing the
    fields in the second line of the repeating frame. In other
    words, the second line is completely missing in the report.
    However, fields in the third and forth lines of the repating
    frame R11 are printed in the second page.
    Why the second line is dropped?
    How do I fix this problem?

    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.

  • 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.

  • Reset Page Numbers for each group with XMLP 4.5

    I am currently working on the invoice report rtf template using XMLP 4.5
    We cannot upgrade to new version at this stage.
    Our requirement is, i want to reset the page numbers for each invoice. I know that it can be achieved using @section. I think this will work only XMLP 5.0 and after. Is there any other way to achive this requirement?
    Our reports are moving to production in another 3 days.
    I would be thankful If anybody can provide me the solution for this problem?
    Thanks
    Babu

    Hi Tim
    Thank you very much for your suggestion. We have upgraded to latest version of XML and now i am using @section to reset the page numbers for each invoice. This is working fine. But i have stucked to print the invoice copes for which page numbers should be reset.
    As per the client requirement i need to generate the invoice report with 3 more copies where COPY word will be there for duplicate invoice copies.
    I have written the rtf template logic like below:
    ex: <?for-each@section:G_INVOICE?>
    Invoice Information
    Invoice first copy information with COPY word (just copy the above original invoice layout and pasted)
    Invoice second copy information
    Invoice third copy information
    <?end for-each?>
    This is working fine. But client is demanding that all the invoice copies page numbers should start with 1. I tried by giving the @section for each invoice copy. But it was not working. Is there anyway to reset the page numbers for each invoice copy (anyway orginal invoice page numbers are resetting becuase i have used @section). It would be great help for me by providing the solution for my problem.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Repeating Frames running over more than one page

    Hi I have developed an Oracle Report. It is a nomination form having 7 to 8 pages. FYI..Input is a Pin Number. So, the customer can either enter one pin or can select many pins from the browser and depending on the selection he needs to either print one form or many forms at a stretch. So i want a repeating frame to be enclosed all the other frames. But if i do that, then i am getting an error
    "REP-1212: Object R_13 is not fully enclosed by its enclosing body" since the repeating i introduced spans over all the pages in the report.
    Please let me know the solution for this asap.
    Thanks in Advance

    Make sure the repeating frame is variable vertically and that all the frames that it encloses are variable.

  • How do i make a frame a enclosing a repeating frame appear only on the last page of a report?

    I have a frame that encloses a repeating frame. How so i make them print only on the last page?

    Assuming you have other content, you could:
    set the Print Object On property to be last page.
    anchor it to the main content that repeats on every page, so this frame only prints after the other one is done
    Assign a format trigger where you make it display only if current page is equal to total number of pages
    create a trailer and move the frame there
