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

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

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,

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.

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...

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.

Problem with graphs on repeating frames

Is it possible to use graphs showing correct data within repeating frames?
We experienced problems with graphs within repeating frames, each occurrence of a graph shows the same picture (using data that corresponds to the first frame).
Tnx in advance.

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

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

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

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.

Large Repeating Frame Problem

Dear All:
My problem is as below:
I need to draw a large repeating frame ( sized 8 inches x 38 inches) and print it out using A4 paper (sized approximately 8.5 inches x 11 inches) via PDF format in Acrobat Reader. The problem is the report print out to be so small in order to fit the A4 size.
Is there anyway to fix the Layout Model Body Section as A4 size and at the same time include a repeating frame in the report body which sized larger than the layout body?
Thank You.
Regards;
Jessie

Jessie,
Check the "Horizontal Panels per Page" property, in the "Main Section" node of "Layout Object" (in the Object Navigator window).
I believe this will solve your problem.

2 Repeating Frames based on the same group

I have this report which contains 3 groups, I have the requirement to break the 2nd group so that I create a 'footer' based on the 2nd group.
I have created 2 repeating frames (one which holds the account number, payment terms, currency) and the 2nd repeating frame based on the same group which contains the bank details
My report looks like this:
(1st Group)
Customer xxxxx
Address xxxxx
(2nd Group)
Account No xxxxx
Payment Terms xxxxx
Currency xxx
(3rd Group -repeating)
Trans id xxx
amount xxx
(2nd Group)
Bank Details xxxxxxxxxx <--will only have one per account
I had originally designed the report using 2 identical frame structure.
e.g.
Main
Repeating Group Customer
Repeating Group Account
Repeating Group Transactions
Footer
Repeating Group Customer
Repeating Group Account
This format worked when the Main group did not go over a page. The 2 Account Groups were coordinated.
When the Main group extended to more than one page, the 2 Account Groups did not match.
The jest of what I am trying to do is a footer of the bank details be printed at the bottom of the page always.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

I didn't realise that this was such a difficult problem to solve. The requirements are quite simple (I thought)
1) Query
3) Groups
a) Company
b) Accounts
c) Transactions
My report needs to look like this:
{page 1}
COMPANY XXXXX
ACCOUNT: 123
Invoice ID Amount
aaaaaaaaaa 111.11
bbbbbbbb 111.11
Sub Total 222.22
--> To be printed at a predefined space on the physical page on each page. bold Bank Details for Account 123: xxxx bold
{page 2}
COMPANY XXXXX
ACCOUNT: 456
Invoice ID Amount
aaa 10
bbb 20
ccc 30
ddd 40
....<as many records that will force a second page
--> but..this still needs to print!!!To be printed at a predefined space on the physical page on each page. bold Bank Details for Account 456: xxxx bold
{page 3}
zzz 100
Sub Total 1000
--> To be printed at a predefined space on the physical page on each page. bold Bank Details for Account 456: xxxx bold
Say the next records in the query are for
COMPANY XXXXX, ACCOUNT 789 with one detail record.
COMPANY XXXXX, ACCOUNT 321 with multiple details records which will force a second page.
What is happening at the moment is that the 2 repeating frames based on the Account Group,
the first 2 pages will print out correctly, however, because the 2nd account goes over 2 pages and how I have this set the structure of the report (see above post), the bottom Account Group thinks that the account number is now 789 when in fact the top account group is still on 456
I really hope that this is clearer.
I am working on Reports 10g on a 10g database
I have tried to create a ref cursor & separate the query to bring back bank details. but with no luck.
A person had suggested that I create a separate frame and hold the bank details, which is fine. but as I previously stated, those bank details need to print on every page at a specific area on the physical page.
If this might be of use:
Repeating Frame Group Customer, Vertical & Horizontal elasticity Fixed
Repeating Frame Group Account, Vertical Elasticity: Variable & Horizontal - Fixed
Repeating Frame Group Transations, Vertical Elasticity: Expand & Horizontal - Fixed

Hiding Text Fields Outwith a Repeating Frame

Hi
I have a set up where a row of data fields are within a repeating frame but the text headings are outwith the R frame because I do not want the headings to repeat.
How can I set this up so that if the main data fields is null then return false for the text headings?
I am finding this difficult because the text headings are outwith the repeating frame so I can't manage to reference to within the repeating frame (i.e. when field is null return X) using the format trigger.
Any valuable feedback on how to comlete this otherwise simple problem would be very much appreciated?
Andrew

To continue
E.G. Data row 1 is parent, data row 2 is child, data 1 has 2 child records:
Heading 1 for data 1
Data1
Heading 2 for Data 2
Data 2
Data 2
Than if there is another parent row the Data 1 repeating frame breaks and continues as below but this time there is no data 2
Heading 1 for data 1
Data1
Heading 2 for Data 2
And the heading is still there but no data.
