Problem in repetetion of the value of parent group element in each PDFpage

Question

I am using data template in BI PUB. I have table containing Region_Name , Sales_Rep_Name and amount. I need to show the region_name(parent group element) on the top(not in header) of the next and subsequent pages . under same region_name if sales_rep_name(child group element) is large enough not to fit in a single page, then same region_name should appear in the next page. But this name is not repeting in every page of the generated PDF.
QUERY: SELECT region_name,sales_rep_name,SUM(amount) amount FROM edwods_bipub_test
GROUP BY region_name,sales_rep_name
ORDER BY region_name,sales_rep_name
Data Structure for the above query: <dataStructure>
          <group name="g_region" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_weekly_summary_by_salesrep">
               <element name="region_name" dataType="varchar2" value="REGION_NAME"/>
               <group name="g_sales_rep" dataType="varchar2" source="Q_weekly_summary_by_salesrep">
                    <element name="sales_rep_name" dataType="varchar2" value="sales_rep_name"/>
                    <element name="amount" dataType="number" value="amount"/>
               </group>
          </group>
     </dataStructure>

Answer 1

create a formula column
function Cf_clientaddressformula
return varchar
is
clientaddress VarChar2(1000);
begin
Select DeCode(:Address1, Null, Null, :Address1)||
DeCode(:AddressN, Null, Null, Chr(10)||:AddressN)||
DeCode(:City, Null, Null, Chr(10)||:City)||
DeCode(:State, Null, Null, Chr(10)||:State)
DeCode(:Country, Null, Null, Chr(10)||:Country)
DeCode(:PostalCode, Null, Null, Chr(10)||:PostalCode)
Into ClientAddress
From Dual;
ClientAddress := LTrim(RTrim(ClientAddress,Chr(10)),Chr(10));
return(ClientAddress);
End;
assign this cf to the address field in your report and set that field "Vertical Elasticity" to "Variable"
Hope this will solve your problem.
