Repeating frame spacing Problem in Reports 6i

I have a Matrix with Group report. Now I have two sections (one is matrix section, second is Grand totals section).
After I run the report layout ,Matrix section data (repeating frame) is appearing at one spacing but the other repeating frame in Grand Totals - appears in the same page (below the Matrix data section) with different spacing and aligning.
I’ve attached the output of the sample report. You can find the aligning/spacing problem between Matrix data (one repeating frame) and Grand Total data (another repeating frame)
This is the problem, I have tried changing all the properties, but all in vain. I feel that the repeating frame in Grand Totals appears exactly at the same position as the first one.
Please help...

Hi,
There are no such limitations with Reports. If I understand properly, you run the Report twice, in each run, you are trying to execute different query, and you generate two dilimited Reports output files? This should work fine. Try out the latest Reports 6i patch-10 for this. You can even approach Oracle Support with your testcase. FYI, with Reports 6i patch-11, a new feature "dlimited data" is introduced which will give delimited output with a data dump i.e it would not be dependent upon the Reports layout. You can probably try out this new feature also.
Thanks,
Rohit Hi Rohit,
Thanks for the information.
well I am generating single output file on each run .
the problem is somewhat funny.
I have build query2 in data model after query1.
query 1 is giving me correct output both in .PDF and delimiter version.
But query2 is giving me 0 byte file for delimiter version although in .PDF it is running fine.
When I took out query2 to another module it is running fine for both.
I hope this make sense.
Moreover if u still not clear about the problem and thinks that u can help me out please send me ur mail id so that I can send you the RDF copy.
Thanks

Repeating frame position problem!

HI!
This is bothering me two days and i can't figure it out.
I have 4 repeaitng frame hierarchly:
R_frame_1
R_frame_2
R_frame_3
R_frame_4
4 th repeating frame is a problem because on the first page is everything ok
data1 data2 data3 data4
but on second page where data is continued it goes left out of the paper
data 3 data4
When on second page repeating frame goes from the begining then is again ok.
Example
Page1
SOME TITLE
data1 data2 data3 data4
data1 data2 data3 data4
Page 2
data 3 data4 <---- WHY?
SOME TITLE
data1 data2 data3 data4
data1 data2 data3 data4

Thank a lot dear :)
By the way I have Frame B which is inside Frame A, when I add a new column on B it goes to A. What trick should I do here please.
Maybe I adding is not the proper way? How do I associate a column to which frame does it belong? I can not see it on property pallette.
Thanks again

Frames Creating problems in Reports

Hi,
I Have created an Oracle Report in which there is one Group layout is there.
The Lauout is such that it Consists of 2 non-repeatating Frame(let say R_1, R_3) and a Repeatating Frame Say (R_2)
Now the Layout is
like
R_1 joined with R_2 joined with R_3
But when i am running this Report,Output is coming like
R_1Joined with R_3 joined with R_2.
R_2 contains one Formulae column which counts % of Total.
And i Have Kept all the totals in R_3

OK.
See my Report is giving data like This when I am running the report Manually by giving parameter Through parameter Form
Stores S1 S2 S3 S4 Totals
Received 12 14 111 210 347
Closed 11 09 12 199 231
Open 1 3 1 15 20
% of Total
Received 3.45 4.03 31.98 60.05
<<.From S1 to S4 is a Repeatating Frame full ..>>
and that Formulae columns ....i have
also included in repeatating Frame.....
This is Ok
but when I am Running Report from a Form,,,,,then it is Giving something like this
Stores Totals S2 S3 S4
Received 347 14 111 210
Closed 231 09 12 199
Open 20 3 1 15
% of Total
Received 3.45 4.03 31.98 60.05
Please help me out......I want the Data Like the Former Through the Forms Also.....

Address Spacing Problem in Reports

Hi everyone
I am having problems with spacing in one of my reports for addresses:
This is the format I would like to have
Address Line1
Bldg Name
Address Line2
Address Line3
City, Province/State, Postal Code/Zip Country
Sample Address with Bldg Name being null as I would like all fields to be moved up by one
123 ABC St
PO Box 10000
STN CSC
Seattle, WA 11111 USA
However, this is the result shown on my report as STN CSC is getting bumped into the Bldg Name field instead of 123 ABC St
123 ABC St
STN CSC
PO Box 10000
Seattle, WA 11111 USA
So can anyone help on why Address line 3 STN CSC is getting bumped into the BLDG Name field when Address Line 2 should get bumped up one line. I have created a format trigger on the bldg name field that says this:
if :bldg_name is null then
return (FALSE)
else
return (TRUE)
end if;
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

Repeating frame printing problem

Dear All,
I have a tabular report with a lot of frames. The inner frame data is not overflowing to the next page if there is no more space on the page. The outer frame has a formular coulumn based on the inner frame and sometime the summary result show on the report but the summaried data does not,

Frame overlaps repeating frame when I run the report

Hi
I created a report manually. On my designer, I have a frame, on top of which I have a repeting frame with all the fields and labels etc. However when I try to run the report, I get the frame on the top as a result the information on the repeating frame is hidden and report comes out to be blank. What am I doing wrong here?
Any help?
Thx!

If you have frames positioning like this, the bottom frame could take place of the top one:
 | |
 | |
| |
| |
-------------- 

Solution is, move both to the left. If its not feasible, other solution is create another outer frame for the first one and maximize that to the left and don't show borders for that frame.

 
Hope this helps.

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.

How to reduce vertical spacing in repeating frame? - SOLVED

My problem is that space between repeating frame and fields inside this frame cannot be smallest then 1.1mm (1/25 of inch). This crete aditional vertical spacing 2mm per one row. It is not possible move field near frame border.
Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2. Snap on grid is OFF. Vertical spacing is zero. ConfinMode On. FlexMode Off.

Not sure why this is not working for you. Your paper layout is wysiwyg for the most part. I would put snap to grid ON and make sure there is no space between my frame and the fields inside it. You can can zoom in to make sure there is no space. You may have to resize your field to get the field to snap to the grid before you try and move it up against the frame. You just have to keep playing with snapping to the grid until everything fits. I would recommend not turning off snap to grid until you are really comfortable with Oracle Reports.

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...

Footer for a report with 2 repeating frames with down/across print directio

I have a report with a frame for title shown in first page. the content of the report is shown on two columns in a repeating frame(R2) which enclose an other repeating frame (R1). In R2, just after R1, I have a frame for totals. Both repeating frame have down/across print direction. All repeating frames and title frame are enclosed by a regular frame(let say frame A) that have vertical elasticity fixed. at the end of the report i must display an other frame(frame B) with signatures. I put frame B in frame A, just after R2. If I set vertical elasticity to fixed or contract for R2, when the title frame is missing i get an empty space in the bottom of the page(except the first page, where the title appear)(R2 is anchored to title frame). if I set vertical elasticity to variable for R2, the frame B is not shown on last page with records, but in next page. I need a solution to keep the frame B in last page of the report which have records. the problem appear only when I have records in second column.
Can somebody help me, please?

Hi,
I think without using Across/Down instead of Down/Across this is not possible. But then the output is
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
If you need to have
1 3 5 7
2 4 6 8
then you had to add some logic in an additional column for sorting the output. (sounds easy, but the logic need some work depending the count of records and their position.

Problem with delimited output in repeating frames - urgent

I have two repeating frames one below the other. The problem is that unless there are two rows or more that result in the first repeating frame, it does not appear in the delimited output file. What is going on here ? Is it a bug ?
This happens only when I use generate to file -> delimited option. The report work fine using the previewer.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Now I have reports 6i (6.0.8.22.0). I believe it is patch 13. I still have the same problem. I still do not see the "delimiteddata" option. I only see "delimited" option. Someone told me that there is a new, "delimiteddata" option with patch 11 and higher. Also where can I find new documentation that shows the new desformat.

Problems accessing parameters within repeating frames.

I hope this is a more readable version of the problem I just submitted.
This is the overall layout of a report I am currently working on
and having problems with, using Oracle Reports 6i.
Departments Commitments Obligations
Dept 1 - Dept 1 Title
RCC 1 - RCC Title
RIC
Non-pay by RIC 308 1 1
Non-pay by RIC 438 1 1
Non-pay by RIC 514 1 1
Subtotal 3 3
Pay by RIC 514 2 2
Total RCC 1 5 5
RCC 2 - RCC Title
RIC
Non-pay by RIC 308 1 1
Non-pay by RIC 438 1 1
Non-pay by RIC 514 1 1

Non-pay by RIC 438 2 2
Non-pay by RIC 514 2 2
Subtotal 6 6
Pay RIC 514 4 4
Total Dept1 10 10
I use a format trigger to calculate the data for
Non-pay by RIC 308 (the most inner frame).
If (:RIC = '308') then
Return (True);
Else
Return (False);
End if;
And I do something equivalent for the other two RICs, RIC = 438,
and RIC = 514.
With this approach, I am able to calculate subtotals and totals
for all the RCCs for each Dept.
I work one frame at a time, from the inner frame to the outer
frame.
My problem is to get the Total Dept section at the end of each
Department.
Total Dept 1
Non-pay by RIC 308 2 2
Non-pay by RIC 438 2 2
Non-pay by RIC 514 2 2
Subtotal 6 6
Pay RIC 514 4 4
Total Dept1 10 10
I get a frame error when I try this code in a format trigger
If (:RIC = '308') then
Return (True);
Else
Return (False);
End if;
I know this trigger fails because I am trying to reference the ":RIC"
parameter that is in a different repeating frame.
How can I check for the RIC at this level?
Is there a better way to tackle this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Carlos

Sounds like the source data for the Graph is the wrong Group.

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

Repeating Frame Problem - please guide

Dear Gurus,
I am developing a report in reports 6i. The structure of report is something like this.
M1
R1
f1
f2
R2
M1 is a fixed frame containing all other elements. R1 is repeating frame containing
2 fields and one repeating frame.
Now while printing records of R2 overflow to next logical page. that's fine but space of f1 and f2 also get repeated on to next page.
To give an analogy :-
Purchase Order Report
po number - f1
supplier - f2
po lines -r2
next page
empty space present ( equal to the required fields r1 and r2 )
po_lines
Now point is i want the Po lines to continue without the space for fileds for f1 and f2 repeating.
and yes i kept vertical elasticity for M1,R1 and R2 as variable.
How can i solve it.
please guide.
regards ravi

Print Object on property it is "First Page". the structure is like
<code>
M1
R1
f1
f2
R2
</code>
Problem is when r2 overflows to next page, the space for f1 and f2 is also there on next page. What i want is content of r2 should come at the start of the page rather than at the location where its fixed when it's overflowing to next page.
regards

Repeating frame problem

Hi,
I've Matri with group report which prints 'region' level data in Repeating frame (down).
But, for the Last region of the report, the report is prinitng twice the data. I observed this problem when I have more than one 'region' level data and then for the last region data in that.
( means, if there is only one region data, it's not priniting twice, rather priniting fine).
Please suggest anything on this..urgent a bit..
Thanks,
Ratnakar

Hi,
Do one thing, place a group frame around repeating frame , sure it must be of size to occupy 3 or more reocrds generated by query. Below this group frame , place additional fields you want to appear below . Remember to keep vertical and horizontal elasticity fixed for this group frame.
