Repeating frame pushing upwards

Hi all,
I have an issue with a repeating frame for a statement. If the account has multiple balances I want to provide an opening balance for each balance at the top of a page. I have these balances returned onto the report but it seems that they are pushing vertically up the page and not down . This in turn is affecting some fields that I have place above the repeating frame.
My balances repeating frame(type R) is housed within a type M frame (fixed) .
The fields above the balances repeating frame are also in a fixed frame (M type) These are the ones affected by the number of items in the repeating frame.
Can anyone suggest what I need to do?
Thansk in advance.

probably a bug in repors .
i just resized the whole report and it worked .
thank you for your replay.

Repeating frame does not shift upwards !

Hi , i have a simple report which is built in a parent-childern pattern .
the layout consists of parent repeating frame and inside it a child repeating frame.
the parent and the child frames has a print on the first of the enclosing object property set.
in the first page the parent and the child frame are printed together well.
the outcome in the second page should be 2 child frame printed one after the other since
the parent frame is not printed and therfore should shift the first child frame upwards taking it's place
and by that leaving space to print the one after it .
instead only one child frame is printed in the same location as the previous one.
i have tried every possible combination of values in all of the properties of each repeating frame ,
including adding and removing regular frame that encloses the repeating frames .
nothing help.
it is a very important report and need help urgently.
Please help.
Thanks you.

Repeating frame with no rows returned messing up display

I have a repeating frame nested within a frame among other items. When there are no rows returned for the repeating frame query, the report is shifting all the objects below the repeating frame upward in the page. How do I get the space held by the repeating frame to just stay blank if no rows are returned?

Hi:
Is the Image and the Text within a Frame?If not, put these within a frame. If the text still moves up, then use an anchor.
what I mean is if your report looks like this:
<REGULAR FRAME>
<REPEATING-FRAME>
TEXT1
IMAGE
<REGULAR FRAME>
TEXT2
then put the TEXT1 and IMAGE inside a FRAME.

Repeating Frame

Hi,
I have a report with the following design
TEXT1
REPEATING FRAME
TEXT2
TEXT3
If the repeating frame query return too many records, the REPEATING FRAME is pushing TEXT2 to a second page, which is correct.
The problem is that TEXT2 is pushed to a second page but its not started from the beginning of the page, its coming in the middle of the second page where there are too many empty lines.
I noticed that TEXT2 is pushed to a second page exactly where the REPEATING FRAME started in the first page! i.e. the REPEATING FRAME started at 2.5 inch from top of the first page, the TEXT2 is pushed to a second page at 2.5 inch from top of the second page.
I solved this problem by setting Vertical Panels per Page in Main Section to 2 instead of its initial value 1
But another problem shows when TXET2 is pushed, half of one text line is showing in page 1 while half of it is showing in page 2!
PLEASE HELP ('',)

I think it is the TEXT1 that is blocking on the second page. If you make the Vertical Elasticity property to Variable instead of Fixed the space will disappear on the later pages. May have to put a frame around it with Vertical Elasticity property to Variable to be sure to get rid of it. Anyway that is the theory.

Repeating frame over flow into next page

I have a report, on the first page of which I have a repeating frame. On the second I have only different paras of text.
When ever the repeating frame on the first page, returns data more than it can fit on the first page, it is getting printed on the second page. But as a result the text of the second page is being pushed down.
It also creates a gap between the place where the repeating frame data ends and the text of the second page starts. How to avoid this gap.
What is the solution . Please share.

Hi Nag,
Thanx for your question.
1. As you know its difficult to simulate the problem
through a sample report. I would like to know
which version of reports are you using?.
2. I suggest to surround your second repeating frame and the last paragrphs with a normal variable frame.
I mean include the second repeating frame and the last group frame into a variable frame that spans over the two pages. then you should set the "print object on" to "first page" and to "enclosing object"
for all parent frames.
3. if it does not work .Try this one too: To avoid the gap use "Anchor", anchor the last paragraphs frame to the second repeating frame by minimizing the gap between them(See help online about anchoring).
Hope this helps,
CB

A bug or feature - fail to control objects under repeating frame

Oracle Reports Help said:
"Objects below an object with Page Break Before set to Yes may not move to the next page. If an object is set to print on a page but is moved to the next page because of Page Break Before, other objects may be placed in the space where the object was originally set to print, if there is sufficient room."
My objects of b_label and b_field, which are designed to be UNDER the repeating frame R_G_xxxxxxxx, are randomly displayed either UNDER or INSIDE the repeating frame.
My repeating frame has properties:
R_G_xxxxxxxx
page break before      No
page break after     No
page protect      Yes
I was advised that "It can be a trial-and-error to get this to work properly.
What often works is to put the repeating frame and b_label and b_field inside one group frame.
Or put a group frame (whole page width) around b_label and b_field."
I have tried very hard only to fail to get the expected results.
Anybody has any suggestion?
Just curious - I am using Reports Builder 10.1.2.0.2 and we are going to 11G. Reports Builder 11G will fix this bug or so-called "feature"?
Millions of thank for any help!!!
mz

You might try something like this:
1. Put b_label and b_field inside a page width-sized frame as suggested. This will force both b_label and b_field to be "pushed down" (or "pulled up") by the same amount as the content above expands (or shrinks).
2. Set the "Base Printing On" property of the new frame to "Anchoring Object". This assumes that the frame is implicitly (or explicitly) "anchored" to the repeating frame above.
3. Set the "Print Object On" property of the new frame to "Last Page". Together with 2, this should make the new frame print after the repeating frame.
Hope this helps.

How to get the values from repeated frame?.

Hi
how to get the values from repeated frame?. i have to disply the first 3 digits in another place in my report.
i have field empno in repeated frame and i want to disply first 3 digits in another place in the same report.
thanks

How often do you need to display it? It sounds like you might want to base a summary on that formula with a function of first or last. If it's a per page basis, it can be a page level summary. If it's at a higher level repeating frame, then you can create the summary at that level. I'd suggest taking a look at the online help for summaries using the first/last functions.
Hope that helps,
Toby

How to fix objects below repeating frame?

hello all! I wonder how to fix the last elements such as signature area of a sale order report to the bottom of the last page?
i find the area always appear closely after the detail lines...i don't want this
Thanks for any help!

hi philipp!Thanks for your reply.
I am meaning that a have some text objects lower than a repeating frame which height is variable and i want to have the distance between the text objects and the bottom of the page to be fixed,instead of varying according to the height of the repeating frame.The text objects and the repeating frame are in a same container frame so i can't set the vertical elasticity of the frame to fixed.
Any idea?

How can I add a field to a Repeating Frame in the body of a 9i Report

How can I add a field to a Repeating Frame in the body of an Oracle 9i Report whose source is in a higher group?
I want to change an Oracle 9i report. The report has no header or trailer but only a body. The body has the parent frame fields & a repeating frame with four fields, A, B, C & D. They all seem to be in one group. I want to add another field E to the repeating frame whose source is from the 'header'.
I added the field & created a boiler plate & then added the new field, E to the original group A, B, C & D. In the Property Inspector for the field, I pointed the source to the source column in the main query. However, when I run the report, I receive the error "Invalid body size". Some notes on Metalink indicate that this could be due to margins being out of the printable area.
Moreover, after making the changes & after having unsuccessfully run the report, when I try to open the Page Layout for the report, I get no details.
Thanks,

Hi,

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!

How to get the number of rows in a repeating frame ?

Hi all,
When I launch a report from forms then sometimes there are data in the report and sometimes there are no data. And the problem is that when there are no data then the frame containing the repeating frame is still displaying and a blank page displays on the report.
So I want to get the number of rows from the repeating frame so that I can code a format trigger on the frame to display or not the enclosing frame depending on the existence of data from the repeating frame.
Thank you very much indeed.

Dear Friend,
You can achieve this. Define a summary column (say cnt). Select summary type as "COUNT". select any one of columns that are getting displayed in your repeating frame as summary column and provide "reset at" group name (or set this to report if you are defining this field at report level) . This "cnt" variable will contain how many records that will be fetched for your repeating frame (i.e. Group of Repeating frame). You can use this "CNT" variable in your format trigger.
In this case there is no need to write before report trigger or anything.

Manish Trivedi

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...

How to find out no. of records or repeating frame in a page

Hi All,
How do I find out how many records have been displayed on a particular page?
I'm having a repeating frame, and I want to know print another item, on a condition that if the records printed on the page are less than 5 then it should be printed otherwise not.
The item to be printed is not a part of the repeating frame whoz occurences have to be counted.
Regards
Naveen

Hi Naveen
You can create a Packaged varaible that acts as
global variable , and you can increment this
variable in the repeating frames Format Trigger .
Based on the value of the variable , you can
return true or false for the item that you want to
display .
