Sub Sub Reports

In order to emulate a vertical break, I am trying to use sub sub-reports so that I can format detail sections with multiple columns but not across the entire page. Is this possible and worth trying?

The layout required specifies for graphs next to the tables. Although I could format with multiple columns and place the primary sub report into the details line in the main report (and get three elements per line), this precludes the use of the required graphs unless I can do one of two things:
A: Create a vertical break, so that I have 2/3 of the page taken up with repeated sub-report elements, and use the rest as blank space in which too insert the graphs.
B: Specify that subreports 3, 6, and 9 (when laid out across-then-down) are from a different source (I would create a separate graph and use as a sub report in this case.)
The effect appearing as follows:
Report Header
Group Title
XXXX XXXX OOO
XXXX XXXX OOO
XXXX XXXX OOO
Footer
OOO OOO OOO
Where XXXX XXXX are distinct data tables, and OOO is a corresponding bar graph comparing trends between the two. Due to source data sharing each XXXX has to be it's own mini report, and because the grouping elements change frequently it is not convenient to write a query to generate a flat table each time we generate these.
Thanks for your help so far...

Why is sub, sub, sub menu way off to the right?

Why is my sub,sub, sub menu way over to the right? I've tried this also on a
blank page and it does the same thing?
http://www.carroll-indoor.com/temp9/
Any other page suggestions are fine as well!

I would be inclined to extract the menu from the page, place it in a new empty one, and work on getting in shape. I'm not seeing the sub, sub, sub menu display at all. I'm only seeing the final "Refs" item, and it has static positioning. Looking at the "Refs" parent <li>, Opera Dragonfly reports the computed style as:
-o-transform-origin: 60px 18px;
background-attachment: none;
background-clip: none;
background-color: #ffffff;
background-origin: none;
background-position: none;
background-repeat: none;
background-size: none;
bottom: 160px;
color: #868686;
cursor: pointer;
display: list-item;
float: none;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 12px;
height: 36px;
left: 212px;
line-height: 18px;
list-style-image: none;
list-style-position: outside;
list-style-type: none;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
padding-left: 0px;
padding-right: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
position: fixed;
right: 332px;
text-align: center;
top: 124px;
width: 120px
Looking at that, you have all margins and padding set to "0", floating turned off, with fixed positioning, reinforced by stating your "box" width and height, and explicitly defining the positioning for for that box with top, right, bottom, and left values. This results in all of your buttons being stacked one atop the other. If you are using some JavaScript to reposition everything, you may want to delve into that. I viewed your reference page in Opera 10.60, Firefox 3.6, Safari 4, and Chrome 4, on Mac OS 10.5.8.
Big help, I am.

Best practice - updating figure numbers in a file, possibly to sub-sub-chapters

Hi,
I'm a newbie trying to unlearn my InDesign mindset to work in FrameMaker. What is best practice for producing figure numbers to accompany diagrams throughout a document? A quick CTRL+F in the Framemaker 12 Help book doesn't seem to point me in a particular direction. Do diagrams need to be inserted into a table, where there is a cell for the image and a cell for the figure details in another? I've read that I should use a letter and colon in the tag to keep it separate from other things that update, e.g. F: (then figure number descriptor). Is there anything else to be aware of, such as when resetting counts for chapters etc?
Some details:
Framemaker12.
There are currently 116 chapters (aviation subjects) to make.
Each of these chapters will be its own book in pdf form, some of these chapters run to over 1000 pages.
Figure number ideally takes the form: "Figure (a number from one of the 1-116 chapters used) - figure number" e.g. "Figure 34 - 6." would be the the 6th image in the book 'chapter 34'.
The figure number has to cross reference to explaining text, possibly a few pages away.
These figures are required to update as content is added or removed.
The (aviation) chapter is an individual book.
H1 is the equivalent of the sub-chapter.
H2 is the equivalent of the sub-sub-chapter.
H3 is used in the body copy styling, but is not a required detail of the figure number.
I'm thinking of making sub-chapters in to individual files. These will be more manageable on their own. They will then be combined in the correct order to form the book for one of these (1 of 116) subject chapters.
Am I on the right track?
Many thanks.
Gary

Hi,
Many thanks for the link you provided. I have implemented your recommendation into my file. I have also read somewhere about sizing anchored frames to an imported graphic using 'esc' + 'm' + 'p'.
What confuses me, coming from InDesign is being able to import these graphics at the size they were made ( WxH in mm at 300ppi) and keeping them anchored to a point in the text flow.
I currently have 1 and 2 column master pages built. When I bring in a graphic my process is:
insert a single cell table on the next space after current text > drop the title below the cell > give the title a 'figure' format. When I import a graphic it either tries to fit it in the current 2 column layout with only part of it showing in a box which is half the width of a single column!
A current example: page 1 (2 column page) the text flows for 1.5 columns. At the end of the text I inserted a single cell table, then imported and image into the cell.
Page 2 (2 column page) has the last line of page 1's text in the top left column.
Page 3 (2 page column) has the last 3 words of page 1 in its top left column. The right column has the table in it with part of the image showing. The image has also bee distorted, like it's trying to fit. These columns are 14 cm wide, the cell is 2 cm wide at this point. I have tried to give cells for images 'wider' attributes using the object style designer but with no luck.
Ideally I'm trying to make 2 versions. 1) an anchored frame that fits in a 1 column width on a 2 column width page. 2) An anchored frame that fits the full width of my landscape pages (minus some border dimension), this full width frame should be created on a new proceeding page. I'd like to be able drop in images to suit these different frames with as much automation as possible.
I notice many tutorials tell you how to do a given area of the program, but I haven't been able to find one that discusses workflow order. Do you import all text first, then add empty graphic boxes and/or tables throughout and then import images? I'm importing text from Word, but the images are separate, having been vectored or cleaned up in Photoshop - they won't be imported from the same word file.
many thanks

Need to confirm production order on operation,sub-operation & sub-sub-operation

Hi Friends,
I've a requirement to confirm order below sub operation level. eg There is operation 100,200,300....and sub operation 110,120,130...further, below these sub operation, there is sub-sub operation like 111,112 for sub operation 110 and 211,212 for sub operation 210.
Requirement is,till sub operation we can confirm the order but below this level we can't confirm.Is there any solution in standard SAP.
Thanks
Pankaj

Dear Pankaj,
What is the reason behind creating a sub-operation for another sub-operation?
For meeting what business requirement, this has been mapped so?
In my understanding this is not possible in standard SAP.
Check and come with your further queries.

Menu - Submenu - and Sub Sub Menu

on my site, for some reason, the "sub sub" menu buttons called "deal 2, and deal 3 to the right of the business cards button, only work (turning green for the rollover) when the "sub sub" menu buttons in the "business flyers" menu are not there. If I was to delete the "business flyers" "sub sub" or "tri level" pages, therefore removing the buttons also, then the business card buttons all work as they should.
In other words the "business cards" button should work exactly the same as the "business flyers" button currently does.
Have a look here:

Sub totals reports

hi ,
i have done a report and the user wants to see only the subtotls calculted on a paticular filed
eg : in grid sub totals are calculated based on the month
now he matnr   wants to see only sub totals on the for the materialsin the output grid.
can any help me out .

Hi,
you can write logic like below.
1. Assume your internal table is like follows
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0
         MATNR TYPE MATNR,
         FIELD1 TYPE FIELD1,
         QTY    TYPE FIELD2,
       END OF ITAB.
Field MATNR should be defined as a first field in the data definition.
2. Get the data from tables using SELECT statements
3. Print the subtotals only using the below logic.
   LOOP AT ITAB.
    AT END OF MATNR.
      SUM.
      WRITE:/ ITAB-MATNR, ITAB-QTY.
    ENDAT.
   ENDLOOP.

Sub Contracting Report

Hi Sapians,
Is there any standard report to see the stock available with the subcontractor on a particular given date along with value.
I tried with MB5B By selecting the special stock as O ,But there I am not getting the value.
In MBLB, ME2O , I cannot give date as input parameter.
If there is no standard report , Could you suggest me some tables where I can get the data.
Thanks,
Sukumaran.E

Hi Sukumaran,
As far as I know there is no table in SAP which stores MAP each and everytime it changes. In this case for getting the value on that particular date, either you can use tcode MB51 - material document list. This will give you the price at which transactions for a particular material took place. In the output u will need to select the fields for desired results.
Alternatively, you may create a query for MKPF - MSEG table join. But I would suggest MB51 to get list of docs for a given material / plant / vendor combination on that particular date and get the price from there.

Vishal

SUB SUB Menus Not Showing In IE

For the first time I put a sub, submenu (if that is what you call it) in my Spry Menu and it does not show in IE. Firefox it works fine, but IE it does not show up. The main item on the menu bar is there, then when you scroll over this main item, its submenu shows, but then when you scroll over this submenu, it's sub submenu does not show in IE.
Anyone know how to resolve this problem and make it show up? Many thanks.
Blake

Well, I figured out where the problem is. It has to do with the filter: alpha(opacity=92) in the following section of code:
/* Submenus should appear below their parent (top: 0) with a higher z-index, but they are initially off the left side of the screen (-1000em) */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
    font-size: 100%;
    z-index: 1020;
    cursor: default;
    width: 8.2em;
    position: absolute;
    left: -1000em;
/* for IE */
filter:alpha(opacity=92);
    /* CSS3 standard */
opacity:0.92;
If I remove the opacity, then the level 2 submenu shows up, but then the opacity is gone. I would like to keep the opacity. Trying to figure out what I can do now to keep the opacity and have level 2 submenus show in IE as well. Any ideas?

however, it seems taht column is not "known" by the sub-subquery.
How can I use the value of the column in customer_id (ci) there?

Just FYI (sorry if what I say is well-known) :
Then one is getting from subqueried columns to subqueries as tables,
there is a pitfall related to outer and inner joins.
In fact the subqueried column simulate logically an outer join like
in the example:
SQL> select deptno from dept;
    DEPTNO
        10
        20
        30
        40
        50
        60
6 rows selected.
SQL> select unique deptno from emp;
    DEPTNO
        10
        20
        30
SQL> select d.deptno, (select count(1) from emp e where e.deptno = d.deptno) cnt
2 from dept d;
    DEPTNO        CNT
        10          3
        20          5

How to show sub sub menu in menubar at left side?

how do it? please suggest me?

Hi,
cannot use run_report_object here cause I cannot create a report object in menu (like how we can do it in forms).
Create a generic named Report node in the forms that you reference from the RunReport object request. This way you can run Reports from a menu

Struggling with a one to many relationship in a sub-report

Post Author: Scott_tansley
CA Forum: General
I have a database schema as per below: tblENQUIRY tblDatasheets tblReportParasIRSID (PK) 1 --> & IRSID (FK) UID (PK)Attribute1 SHEETID (PK) 1 > & SHEETID (FK)Attribute2 Attribute1 LIST_ORDER tblStandardParasAttribute3 Attribute2 PARA_CODE (FK) & < 1 CODE (PK)etc... Attribute3 TEXT etc...
The PROBLEM I am a Crystal Reports Newbie, and having to work through things bit by bitu2026 I've managed to achieve quite a lot, but I'm totally stuck with this and would appreciate some help. I need to create a report (essentially a letter and some datasheets) around a one-to-many relationship, which I have managed to compile using a main report (for the one [tblENQUIRY]) and sub report (for the many [tblDatasheets]). Essentially I need a covering letter, then the u2018manyu2019 datasheets, and then a number of other pages (which are largely static text). I have created a main report which includes the covering letter, holds a subreport for the datasheets, and then contains the text for the additional pages. This all works fine, and I get the correct number of datasheets for each main report. My problem stems from the use of this sub report. This sub-report needs to hold some attribute values for each datasheet, which is fine. However, on each datasheet page I need to have some paragraphs, which are held in another one to many relationship. Each datasheet may have up to six paragraphs held as a code in tblReportParas, with a relationship to the text as held in tblStandardParas. My original thought would have been to embed another sub report, containing the values from tblStandardParas!TEXT, into the first sub report. However, I have found that it is not possible to have a sub-report inside another sub-report. I had seperated the first sub-report out from the main report, and then embedded another sub-report into it. This worked fine until I tried to stitch the sub-report back into the main report (at which point the sub-sub-report dissapeared from view). I have therefore reworked my sub-report a little, and the attribution is now stored in a pageheader, with the tblStandardParas!TEXT in a detail section below it. This almost works! The only problem is that there is no relationship between the pageheader and detail sections. To clarify, I would expect to have one datasheet, with the attribution at the top, and then the six paras below. Then, the same on the next page (assuming there is a second datasheet) for that report. Instead, I get the correct attribution, but the detail section actually gives every paragraph in the database, no matter which datasheet/or report it related to! I therefore need to limit the detail section to only show those paragraphs where the SHEETID in tblReportParas is the same as the tblDatasheets SHEETID. Any offers of advice would be appreciated.

CA Forum: General
I managed to resolve this myself in the end. I moves the tblEnquiry data into report header/footer sections, this allowed me to add the tblDatasheets information into the details section, which gave me multiple pages - and then finally, the Paragraphs were added through the use of a sub report.
There's probably an even better way, but for now it works, it's quick - and so I'm going to go with it!
Thanks for your interest.

Converting a Crystal Report with Many Sub-Reports into CF Report Builder

I am trying to rewrite a Crystal Reports report which has 11
subreports in CF Report Builder. In the CR report, each subreport
has it's own report footer seciton. I have not been able to find
anything in CF Report Builder that allows me to do the same. Is CF
Report Builder capable of producing a report with multiple
subreports?

Having successfully created a report with 5 or 6 subreports
(with each sub-report containing a multiple sub-sub reports) I can
say with confidence, "Yes you can." However the real question you
should ask is, "
Should I create a report with multiple sub-reports in CF
ReportBuilder?" And the answer to that is.... NO, WHAT ARE YOU
CRAZY!
If you have something that works in Crystal Reports I would
suggest you stick with that. Otherwise you're setting yourself up
for a lot of headaches. Now maybe it was because I started using
the report builder that came with MX7, but it seems there are still
quite of few bugs that will leave you shaking your fist at your
computer. If however you do continue and do the CF Report Builder
route, be prepared for your application to crash unexpectedly, and
for many things to not work they way you expect them to. And if you
ever need help good luck. Take the fact that you had difficulty
finding good documentation as a sign of how little Adobe supports
this product.
CF Report Builder is fine for very simple reports, but don't
get fancy with it, you'll only regret your decision in the
end.

Display different footer in main report of SSRS based on sub report

I have a main report in which there are two sub reports and then those two sub reports each contain one sub-subreport.
The following will give you an idea
Main Report
----->Sub Report 1
------------>Sub Sub Report 1
----->Sub Report 2
------------>Sub Sub Report 1
I am trying to display name of subreport in footer of main report depending on which subreport user is currently in. So let's say if user is viewing Sub Report 1 then it should display in footer of main report "Sub Report 1" (this is actually coming
from database and is not like displaying some static text but for the time being ignore this)
If user is viewing Sub Sub Report 1 then footer of main report should say "Sub Report 1: Sub Sub Report 1"
After searching a bit I found out that:
1. Sub report footer will not be shown in Main report hence this option is ruled out
2. You cannot pass parameter from sub report to main report so this option is also ruled out
But looks like you can use Shared Variables between Sub Report and Main Report. I tried to do this but looks like it doesn't work. Here's what I did:
In my Sub Report 1, I declared a shared variable as below:
Public Shared Dim sharedVariable as String = "Sub Report 1"
Now in my Main Report I wrote the following function in code just to test if it prints it on screen on not.
Public Function PrintSharedVariable() as String
Return sharedVariable
End Function
But when I run this report, it shows error that sharedVariable is not declared in Main Report. How do I use shared variables and will it work in my case?

Hi Frank,
According to your description, you want to show the subreport name in the main report. Right?
In Reporting Services, all the custom code is only work for the current report. The sharedVariable you created in subreport can't be used in main report. That's the reason why it throws the error because there's no sharedVariable in main report. For your
requirement, the most effective workaround is having a textbox with go to report Action and passing the report name as parameter back to main report.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou
