Report 3.0 -- Problem !!!! (Very Urgent)

Question

I have a report on Report 3.0 using Group above style, my SQL
QUERY is
SELECT Bank_CD,MFGR_TRAN_CD,
ACC_NO, BALANCE
FROM BANK_MSTR
I have used grouping on Bank_CD
** MFGR_TRAN_CD --> Manufacturer or Transporter Code
I created 2 PlaceHolders field 1) Bank_name 2) Mgfr_Tran_name
I wrote format_trigger on both these placeholder field
The format_trigger for bank_name is
srw.do_sql('select bk_name into :bank_name from bk where rtrim
(bk_cd) = :bank_cd');
return (TRUE);
The format_trigger for mfgr_tran_name is
if substr(:mfgr_tran_cd,1,1) ='M' then
srw.do_sql(fselect mfgr_name into :mgfr_tran_name from mgfr
where rtrim(mgfr_cd) = :mgfr_tran_cd');
else
srw.do_sql(fselect tran_name into :mgfr_tran_name from tran
where rtrim(tran_cd) = :mgfr_tran_cd');
end if;
The Output I expect is given below,
Mfgr/Tran Code Mfgr/Tran Name A/c No.
Balance
Bank : B01 Bank Of Baroda
M01 Sham Traders 23432
5000.50
T01 ANZ Transport 43543
1000.50
Total
6001.00
Bank : B02 Canara Bank
M02 Kiran Traders 854357
1000.00
T01 ANZ Transport 534455
2000.00
Total
3000.00
But it displays the output as :--
Mfgr/Tran Code Mfgr/Tran Name A/c No.
Balance
Bank : B01 Bank Of Baroda
M01 23432
5000.50
T01 43543
1000.50
Total
6001.00
Mfgr/Tran Code Mfgr/Tran Name A/c No.
Balance
Bank : B02 Canara Bank
M02 ANZ Transport 854357
1000.00
T01 ANZ Transport 534455
2000.00
Total
3000.00
i) If I put a srw.message in format_trigger of mgr_tran_name it
displays
mgfr/tran name correctly for each record.
Why is mgfr/tran name not displayed for every record ?
Why it displays for every record when I insert srw.message
in format_trigger
of mgfr_tran_name
ii) I don't want the heading to repeat after every break of bank
code, only
at the begining of every new page.
Kindly give the solution as soon as possible.

Hi Arundhati,
Do the following:
-> Create Formula Columns instead of Placeholder columns in the
the respective Groups.
-> Write the PL/SQL in these Formula Columns and NOT in the
Format triggers.
-> Infact you can use join for Bank name in the query itself,
which would be faster than the Formula column.
-> You may not use SRW.DO_SQL at all, declare a local variable in
a PL/SQL block, fetch the record in this variable and return this
variable. DO_SQL would be slower than direct DML statment. DO_SQL
is mostly used for DDL statements.
Regarding Repeated Heading:
-> Create a frame above the Repeating frame (and the enclosing
frame) for Bank_CD
-> place the boilerplates/Headings in this frame.
-> set the General Layout: Print Condition: Type property of
frame to All.
Hope this helps, if you need further help do let me know.
