Report footer = Entire size of page, CR still breaks section

I have a report that has large text boxes in a report footer. The section is checked "Keep Together" so it will print in its entirety on the last page of the report. I also have a rather large page header that occupies probably the top third of the page. I want the page header to print on all the pages but the last one. It is formatted to be suppressed when PageNumber=TotalPageCount.
No matter what I try, the report footer gets printed on more than one page with the page header showing on the second to last page. Each of the text boxes in the report footer are scaled to encompass the entire printed page from top to bottom. Crystal should not be breaking the report footer into any components since they are all so large. But it keeps printing the page header on the page following the data (despite the above suppression condition) and causes the next section, the report footer, to print on two pages.
How can I achieve my desired result? Thanks.
I have Crystal Version 14.0.4.738 RTM used in conjunction with SAP Business One.

Thanks Jamie,
I tried what you suggested, but it didn't work.
The report footer is actually in two sections (A,B). Report footer A prints at the bottom of the page. Report footer B is a whole page of text. I moved report footer A to be the group footer above, leaving the whole page of text as the only report footer section. With this new alignment, the report footer is on the last page as desired, but the page header doesn't work correctly. It prints on every page but the last two. I think this is because there are 9 group footer sections and 1 report footer section after the last record in the detail section. There's quite a lot of report after "OnLastRecord".
If there's only a few records in the report, it will work fine (page1=report, page2=footer). But when the number of records bumps sections onto more pages, the page header and footer don't work as desired. I'll keep trying different strategies including making the page header a subreport.
Thanks.
If anyone else has any ideas, please help!

1).how to get footer only in last page while we are displaying reports
 and header only in first page .
2) how to create search help and how to use it .

The page footer is defined using the statement END-OF-PAGE.
The processing block following END-OF-PAGE is processed only if you reserve lines for the footer in the LINE-COUNT option of the REPORT statement.
CREATION:
Go to SE11 Tcode
select search help
give the 'z' search help name and create
select the selection method ur table name eg : 'mara'
dialog module 'display value immediately'.
add the field whatever u want and lpos = 1 and spos = 1 and check import and export parameter.
where left position when displaying and spos = search position
and then save and activate ..

A lock object is a virtual link of several SAP tables which is used to synchronize simultaneous access by two users to the same set of data ( SAP lock concept).
Locks are requested and released in the programming of online transactions by calling certain function modules which are automatically generated from the definition of the lock objects. These lock objects must be explicitly created in the ABAP Dictionary.
To set locks, you must perform the following steps:
1. You must define a lock object in the ABAP Dictionary. The name of the lock object should begin with E.
2. The function modules for requesting and releasing locks which are created automatically when the lock object is activated must be linked to the programming of the relevant online transactions.
Reasons for Setting Locks
Suppose a travel agent want to book a flight. The customer wants to fly to a particular city with a certain airline on a certain day. The booking must only be possible if there are still free places on the flight. To avoid the possibility of overbooking, the database entry corresponding to the flight must be locked against access from other transactions. This ensures that one user can find out the number of free places, make the booking, and change the number of free places without the data being changed in the meantime by another transaction.
Lock Mechanisms in the Database System
The database system automatically sets database locks when it receives change statements (INSERT, UPDATE, MODIFY, DELETE) from a program. Database locks are physical locks on the database entries affected by these statements. You can only set a lock for an existing database entry, since the lock mechanism uses a lock flag in the entry. These flags are automatically deleted in each database commit. This means that database locks can never be set for longer than a single database LUW; in other words, a single dialog step in an R/3 application program.
Physical locks in the database system are therefore insufficient for the requirements of an R/3 transaction. Locks in the R/3 System must remain set for the duration of a whole SAP LUW, that is, over several dialog steps. They must also be capable of being handled by different work processes and even different application servers. Consequently, each lock must apply on all servers in that R/3 System.
SAP Locks
To complement the SAP LUW concept, in which bundled database changes are made in a single database LUW, the R/3 System also contains a lock mechanism, fully independent of database locks, that allows you to set a lock that spans several dialog steps. These locks are known as SAP locks.
The SAP lock concept is based on lock objects. Lock objects allow you to set an SAP lock for an entire application object. An application object consists of one or more entries in a database table, or entries from more than one database table that are linked using foreign key relationships.
Before you can set an SAP lock in an ABAP program, you must first create a lock object in the ABAP Dictionary. A lock object definition contains the database tables and their key fields on the basis of which you want to set a lock. When you create a lock object, the system automatically generates two function modules with the names ENQUEUE_<lock object name> and DEQUEUE_<lock object name> . You can then set and release SAP locks in your ABAP program by calling these function modules in a CALL FUNCTION statement.
Lock Types
There are two types of lock in the R/3 System:

Shared lock
Shared locks (or read locks) allow you to prevent data from being changed while you are reading it. They prevent other programs from setting an exclusive lock (write lock) to change the object. It does not, however, prevent other programs from setting further read locks.
Exclusive lock
Exclusive locks (or write locks) allow you to prevent data from being changed while you are changing it yourself. An exclusive lock, as its name suggests, locks an application object for exclusive use by the program that sets it. No other program can then set either a shared lock or an exclusive lock for the same application object.
example uses the lock object ESFLIGHT and its function modules ENQUEUE_ESFLIGHT and DEQUEUE_ESFLIGHT to lock and unlock the object.
For more information about creating lock objects and the corresponding function modules, refer to the Lock objects section of the ABAP Dictionary documentation.
The PAI processing for screen 100 in this transaction processes the user input and prepares for the requested action (Change or Display). If the user chooses Change, the program locks the relevant database object by calling the corresponding ENQUEUE function.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_0100 INPUT.
CASE OK_CODE.
 WHEN 'SHOW'....
 WHEN 'CHNG'.
* <...Authority-check and other code...>
 CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_ESFLIGHT'
EXPORTING
MANDT = SY-MANDT
CARRID = SPFLI-CARRID
CONNID = SPFLI-CONNID
EXCEPTIONS
FOREIGN_LOCK = 1
SYSTEM_FAILURE = 2
OTHERS = 3.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID
TYPE 'E'
NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
 ENDIF.
The ENQUEUE function module can trigger the following exceptions:
FOREIGN_LOCK determines whether a conflicting lock already exists. The system variable SY-MSGV1 contains the name of the user that owns the lock.
The SYSTEM_FAILURE exception is triggered if the enqueue server is unable to set the lock for technical reasons.
At the end of a transaction, the locks are released automatically. However, there are exceptions if you have called update routines within the transaction. You can release a lock explicitly by calling the corresponding DEQUEUE module. As the programmer, you must decide for yourself the point at which it makes most sense to release the locks (for example, to make the data available to other transactions).
If you need to use the DEQUEUE function module call several times in a program, it makes good sense to write it in a subroutine, which you then call as required.
The subroutine UNLOCK_FLIGHT calls the DEQUEUE function module for the lock object ESFLIGHT:
FORM UNLOCK_FLIGHT.
 CALL FUNCTION 'DEQUEUE_ESFLIGHT'
 EXPORTING
 MANDT = SY-MANDT
 CARRID = SPFLI-CARRID
 CONNID = SPFLI-CONNID
 EXCEPTIONS
 OTHERS = 1.
 SET SCREEN 100.
ENDFORM.
You might use this for the BACK and EXIT functions in a PAI module for screen 200 in this example transaction. In the program, the system checks whether the user leaves the screen without having saved his or her changes. If so, the PROMPT_AND_SAVE routine sends a reminder, and gives the user the opportunity to save the changes. The flight can be unlocked by calling the UNLOCK_FLIGHT subroutine.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_0200 INPUT.
CASE OK_CODE.
 WHEN 'SAVE'....
 WHEN 'EXIT'.
 CLEAR OK_CODE.
 IF OLD_SPFLI NE SPFLI.
 PERFORM PROMPT_AND_SAVE.
 ENDIF.
 PERFORM UNLOCK_FLIGHT.
 LEAVE TO SCREEN 0.
 WHEN 'BACK'....

Report Builder - Last page issue and Report Footer issue

I am using ColdFusion 9 Report Builder, am new to this product and encountering 2 issues.
Issue 1 - I have a field that I would like to print on the last page of my report. How can I determine the last page? I initially tried using a calculated field set to the 'highest' calc.Page_Number. Then I could compare the current page to the last page in the 'Print When' property. But calc.Page_Number can not be used in a definition of a calculated field.
Issue 2 - Depending on the amount of report detail, sometimes my report footer prints alone, without a page header and page footer. The report includes this page in the total number of pages. For example, if it is a 2 page report, the page header on page 1 will display Page 1 of 2. Then the only data on Page 2 is the Report Footer. No page header or page footer prints.
Any assistance on these issues would be most appreciated. To date, using the Report Builder has not been easy.

To issue 1: The report contains a report band called report footer. thsi is always at the last page. The report footer band initially is collapsed, so you have to expand it by dragging the last band divider.
To issue 2: I guess this is a page break calculating error when detail data reaches really near the page footer area.
Try some experiments with different setting of the following properties/issues:
- in elements, e.g. calculating fields in the bands between report detail and page footer: In Properties / Print Control / Printing Options: Activate the option "Remove line when blank". This will remove the whole report band area if this field is blank. May save some empty space.
- try to remove unused empty space between detail rows.
- try to resize and reposition all detail fields so that they snap to the grid.
Best regards

How to make report footer at bottom of a page

Hi all,
in my report footer section, I insert a sub report as summary for my main report, even I set "print at bottom" by section expert, the position of report footer is sometime at top when the current page is empty, and sometime at bottom when the current page has content.
Thank you very much
Clara

Hi Clara,
If Crystal thinks the subreport is too large to show the subreport's first page on the current page it will force the subreport onto the next page.
Same as how inserting an image or tablle in Word, if Word cannot fit this object on the current page it will insert a page break and start the object on the new one.
Best suggestion is to remove as much unused sections and lines from the subreport. Remove the Report Header and footer if the subreport is not using them. In the main report, try to minimize the Page header and footer to free up more space on the page.
Good luck,
Brian

Displaying Footer on the Last Page of the report

Report Footer Appears in Middle of page

My report has 4 page footers. The Report Footer appears on the last page - but in the middle of page about the page footer. I would like it at the bottom. All help is welcomed. Thank you!

As per crystal design the report footer will be printed before page footer. So Try inserting one more page footer at last and move the objects from report footer to page footer and use the suppress condition for the last page footer section like this
not onlastrecord
Hope this helps!

I want to print an entire URL in the footer of a print page. How can I do this?

I want the complete URL of a webpage to be printed in the footer section of the printout. When I have the URL printed in the far left footer section it gets cutoff by the center footer section which is cut off by the far right footer section.

Firefox cuts off the URL in your printout, if it's really long, and you also have on the same line (header or footer), the Date and Pages
What I have summarized below is based on this page . . . http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-change-or-customize-firefox-printing-defaults.html
I have two questions:
To fix, do a custom setting, for the Header and Footer as follows:
Print / Page Setup / Margins & Header/Footer / "Customize" the "Left" as follows (leave Center and Right all blank)
&T
&U . . . . . . . &D . . . . . . . &PT
&D shows the Short date as: M/d/yyyy - and then the time
To change the format of the Short date in Win 8.1, go to:
Control Panel / Date and Time / Date and Time tab / Change date and time / Change calendar settings /
Date / Short date . . . change from M/d/yyyy . . . to . . . MM/dd/yy
QUESTIONS:
1.) How do you get rid of the time, which appears after the date? In IE, you use a lowercase "d" - but that doesn't work here.
2.) Is there a way to change the font just for the Header and Footer, to something like Microsoft Sans Serif 10?
Firefox leaves no room around the text in the Header and Footer at the edge. To fix:
Address Bar / about:config
Enter keyword "edge"
Then change all four values for the printer you're using to:
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_bottom . . . 5
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_left . . . 10
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_right . . . 10
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_top . . . 5

Hyperion Financial Reports Image and Fit to Page

We import Saved Objects into a grid for a standard header and footer on our reports. Both the header and footer run across the entire landscape page. This works perfecting when the report is small in width. However, when we use the "fit to page" functionality to fit the report on one page, it also reduces the size of the object so that it doesn't span the page. It literally takes hours to get everything lined up perfectly so that it spans the page and still looks "okay". Has anyone else experienced this and has a good solution/work around. I litterlly want to PULL MY HAIR OUT whenever a formatting change comes in for one of these reports as I know it will take FOREVER.

Hi
Do you import them into a grid or do you import them in to the header and footer section?
Also have you tried importing them as a saved 'Image' object?
I think I've experienced similar at a client where we had highly formatted reports with a text box as the header and an image as the footer. Fortunately for us we had limited rows/columns on each report and it was accepted that some reports would span multiple pages so that the shrink to fit never actually affected the size too much.
Apart from trying the other object types if you haven't already, I'm afraid there is little you can do to ease your pain within FR. Could you do anything with the image, create ones of various sizes and test how they 'shrink', see whether you can sort it from that angle?
Hope this helps

Error message "Page header or footer longer than a page"

Hi
Our application call crystal report to generate/display crystal report in PDF format. We have a dev system to test this, all looking good, however when we moved to production server, the attached error message is displayed when running crystal report.
Invoking method GENERATEREPORT returned error Page Header plus Page Footer is too large for the page.
Error in File C:\DOCUME~1\SERV
IC1.LIM\LOCALS1\Temp\temp coq new xxxx.rpt:
Page header or footer longer than a page.
Same report doesnu2019t get this error message if running it from crystal report developer.
Not all crystal reports got this error, but some of reports display strange view in PDF, the content of report are reduced in a paper size like label size, not A4 size. I have checked the default printer on the server, it points to a normal window printer, not a label printer. I have checked all possible settings on production server and compared with dev server, all looks same to me
I suspect the label printing size is used somehow when the report is previewed in pdf format, not normal A4 size although I have selected a normal window printer as a default printer on the window,what else should i check?
Could you please shed some light on this?
Thanks!
Li

I found the issue is from label printer that is setup on the production server. After I removed the label printer from the server, then error message is gone, all report running fine.
This label printer is not the default window printer, it is a network printer but is configured as a printer using local port on the server.
I think for some reasons, crystal report alway picks up the label printer page size, not the normla page size, I am not sure why and how crystal report do this, it should pick up the default printer, which is a normal printer.
There is no error when I run report within CR. The error happens only when I try to generate crystal report from our application.
I do have logo in page header/footer, subreports in report footer, but I don't think they cause the problem, because I can run same report without any problem in dev system.
Any idea what I should check next?
Thanks

Table footer printed in next page without upper border line

Hi Experts
I am faceing a problem regarding printing of smartform. I have 2 tables under one LOOP control, TABLE2 and TABLE1 respectivelity. TABLE2 display the Header data and TABLE1 displays the Item data under Main window.
TABLE2 has no ROWs under table Footer section. TABLE1 has footer and I want to print the TABLE1 footer according to the page size, for that I have added a Folder under TABLE1 footer section and then create the line type under that Footer, also check the Page Protection check box. I manage to print the Footer in next page according to the page size but when the Footer goes to next page for printing the upper line border of Footer section is not dislayed.
Please give some tips or example, how to manage the Footer at print time.

Hi,
Yes your problem is common because of two different line types while you are selecting the pattren the
pattern is assuming that the pattern is selected for the entire two line types.
solutions are
1). Use same line type for both footer and item
2). create a window with a template and copy the same for both the pages and put a check box
in the conditons of your window as only after end of main window.
3). Create windows with the lines you required with the postions(but not advisible because page numbers or line items lenghts are dynamic) .
Thanks,
Phani.

IR: aggregation result in report footer

Hello!
This quote from "Beginning Oracle Application Express 4.2" at page 174 (about aggregation in IR):
"The results are displayed at the end of the report."
There is a simple method to print the results of aggregation to the report footer on each page?

I asked - and I answered
For making this I create on-Demand process for calculation results of aggregation (using APEX_IR_PKG) and make ajax request to him in "After Refresh" event of IR.
There is the detailed manual with sample http://devsonia.ru/2013/11/14/oracle-apex-aggregation-in-interactive-report-on-each-page-en/.

Apex 4.2 dynamic action to refresh a report region on a different page

Hi,
I open up a pop up window from a report region. When the user is done in the pop-up window and closes it, can I trigger a refresh on the report region using dynamic actions without actually reloading the whole page? I know I can use dynamic action on a page to refresh the report region on the same page.
Thanks,
Sinan

Sinan,
So long as the region to be refreshed is still loaded, you can do this. I don't know how you are loading your pop-up or unloading it but, the principle should be the same as what I provide below.
Assume that you have set the static ID for your report to MY_REPORT. (Be sure you have checked "Allow Partial Page Refresh" in the Report Attributes).
$('#confirmBox').find('div#userConfirmationMessage').html( 'Would you to Refresh your Report?' );
$('#confirmBox').dialog(
 autoOpen: true,
 modal: true,
 title: 'Refresh Conformation',
 buttons:
 'No': function ()
 $(this).dialog('close');
 'Yes': function ()
 $(this).dialog('close');
 $('#MY_REPORT').trigger('apexrefresh');

SSRS custom code for count in Report Footer

Hi All,
Please help me with the custom code used for below requirement
Debtor Name current 30+days 60+days 90+days
aaa 7000 0.00 0.00 10.00
bbb 5000 0.00 20.99 3.00
ccc 1000 0.00 0.00 0.00
Expected result in report footer :
0 1
2
if the value of 30+ , 60+ and 90+ columns >=1 then i have to display the count in Report footer,for that i have tried using a custom code like below :
Shared Dim OD As Integer=0
Public Shared Function Test(ByVal OP As Decimal) As Integer
If OP >= 1 Then
OD = OD + 1
Else
OD = OD
End If
Return OD
End Function
and using below code to display
Code.Test(Overdue)
but when i use this code in report footer is not displaying correct value.Please guide me where i am going wrong.
Please let me know if you need any other details.
Thanks in advance,
Samhith.

Hi Samhith,
Per my understanding you what to count the rows which values >=1 and display them at the bottom of the table, you are trying to use the custom code to do this but failed, right?
I have tested in my local environment and find the custom code is not correctly, and I have an alternative method which is more easy and can work in both table and matrix.
As Vaibhav Chaudhari also mentioned that we can use the CountDistinct function, but more correctly, we can use the count() function and the RunningValue() function, because CountDistict will not count the duplicated values if they >=1.
Please find the expression as below:
=Count(IIf(Fields!Yourfield.Value>=1 , Fields!Yourfield.Value, Nothing))
OR:
=RunningValue(IIf(Fields!Yourfield.Value>=1 , 1, Nothing),Sum,"DataSetName")
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Need to remove the header and footer regions on one page

Hi,
I have a requirement to remove the header and footer regions on one page only. The regions I'm referring to contain the following:
Header:
Company logo, Home link, Logout link, Preferences link
Footer:
Copyright info, Privacy Statement, Home link, Logout link, Preferences link
These are the standard Oracle header and footer regions/page items, so I am not specifying a particular page name, although it would be the create time cards page we want to modify.
Also, we only want to remove these regions/items from ONE page, not an entire responsibility.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Suzanne

Hi,
In order to hide,
Home link, Logout link, Preferences link
Use this code in the processrequest of the controller on the page on which you want tohide these
OAPageLayoutBean page = pageContext.getPageLayoutBean();
page.prepareForRendering(pageContext);
page.setGlobalButtons((oracle.cabo.ui.UINode)null);
And for hiding the Copyright info, Privacy Statement:
Click on Personalise page link
then Click on Choose Context
Choose "OAFooter" as Scope
and click "Apply"
and then Personalise the Copyright and Privay Statememnt icon and set rendered as False.
Thanks,
Gaurav
