Suppressing a Page

Hello all,
I have a mutiple page report that includes repeating frames. For the last page of the report, if there is no data, I don't want to print the page at all. But what I get is a blank page with the page number. Is there any way to suppress this page ?

hello,
there is a parameter called blankpages if you pass this parameter with value NO, the blank pages should be suppressed. you should at least use patch 1 of 6i to do that.
regards,
the oracle reports team

Need a formula to suppress the page header for multiple pages

Hello Experts,
I have a report where I need to suppress the Page Header on 4 pages that have charts. There are two different charts that take up the full page, but my page header shows up at the top of the page.
I found a way to get the page header off of the first page with a formula in the Section Expert; Suppress; but I need to be able to do the same for the other 3 pages.
My formula that worked for the first page is: PageNumber = 2
I tried everything I can think of to add page numbers 15; 21; and 35.
Can you please tell me if this is possible and what I should do? Thanks in advance for your help.
Kathryn.

Do you know what pages you want to suppress?
If yes, can you use the suppress formula option in the Section Expert?
pagenumber in [1,2,3,4]
Hope this helps.

Please help as this a critical scenario.....Does this happen to all concurrent requests?
Is the issue with all printers or specific ones only?
What if you use the lp command from the OS to print the concurrent requests output files, do you still get blank pages?
Do you use PASTA?
Please see these docs/links.

Is it possible to suppress the Page Header of the Main Report based on the Section Name?

Hi,
I am fairly new to Crystal Reports XI. Is it possible to suppress the Page Header of the Main Report based on the Section Name? Thanks.

In the section expert you can enter a formula on the suppress function.
You just need something to check against if it is section name you say
{section name} ="Suppressme"
I have used it more in drill level to display headers based on how far you have drilled into a report.
Hope this helps

Dynamically suppress the page footer

hi, I have to design a report in which the page footer could dynamically be suppressed so that the main content could reach the bottom of the page.
I noticed that if I suppress the page footer by desygn the "flow" of page content stretches up to the buttom of the page but if I suppress it by code in the formula editor the page content doesn't arrive at the button margin and stops where the page footer would have begun if I hadn't suppressd it.
is there a way to dinamically suppress the page footer so that the "flow" of page content could stretch up to the bottom?
thank you in advance.

Yes it is possible
Code it.
Place the following code to your Crystal Report Designer. Use the same code for your page footer.
'--for Header--
Private Sub rptPageHeader_Format(ByVal pFormattingInfo As Object)
If PageNum.Value = 1 Then
rptPageHeader.Suppress = True
Else
rptPageHeader.Suppress = False
End If
End Sub
Where Pagenum is the object that tracks the current apge number.
Insert the "page number" field from the special field to your report.
OR
Right-click on the Footer Section, choose Format Section. click the button beside the Suppress (No Drill-Down) under Common Tab and place this code...
if pagenumber=TotalPageCount then true
else false
OR

How to suppress blank page before side-by-side subreports

Post Author: nv6525
CA Forum: General
I'm having a problem with a primary report forcing a page-break before sub-reports display data.Here's the side-by-side (newspaper-column style) report I'm trying to build: Report Header Report title Page Header Suppressed Details Suppressed Report Footer Subreport 1 Subreport 2 Subreport3 Subreport4 Subreport5 Page Footer Footer with page numbersThe primary report is intended to be a shell for the subreports. The subreports contain unrelated, unlinked, independent data from separate data sources. Each subreport, which must be in-place (not on-demand), contains 2 or 3 columns of data. The result set yields about 250 pages of data, which is OK. I'm using Crystal Reports 10 on Windows XP.The problem is that the primary report is forcing a page break before the subreports begin displaying data. I'd like the data to appear directly below the report header on page 1. The Underlay option is checked on all sections of the primary report. Can the page-break be removed?Thanks!

I was able to find a solution. It was in section C of KB article c2010715 for CR 8.5. Basically, right-click a subreport in Design view, select Format Subreport, and on the Common tab uncheck "Keep Object Together." This works great to begin displaying the subreports' contents on page 1 directly underneath the report heading.

Suppress the Page Header section on a specific Section

Hello,
I have a single page word document I want to append to the end of a report I have, so I placed it in Report Footer b. The word document fits perfectly on a single page without any header. I tried simply supressing the Page Header on the last page but because of the length of the the word document it gets cut in half, so the 2nd to last page includes a header and forces the word document onto 2 pages (one with a header and one without). I tried supressing the Page header the last and 2nd to last page, but that results in the printing of an extra page as the word document without a header only takes up one page.
Is there some way to supress a section based on what section is currently printing ie.
WhilePrintingRecords;
Section "Report Footer b"
I am open to any suggestions on how to simply add a report footer section without a page header.
Thanks

Unfortunately that also suppresses on the 1st report footer section (RFa)
I tried adding an additonal conditon
OnLastRecord AND Pagenumber >= TotalPageCount - 1
However, this results in the addition of an extra blank page, which changes the page count to 1+ what it should be. This may confuse some users.
Can I specify a specific record? How would I go about doing that?

Suppress status-page reportserver 10g

Is there a way to suppress the status (web)page from the report-server when a report is successfully called from Oracle's Application Express(2.2)?
Within the application I branch to an URL, but there seems to be no command-line-parameter that prevents showing this status-page of the report-server (rwservlet 10g).

hi,
where you able to resolve this question?

I want to suppress the page loading status

Firefox shows the page loading status as a popup on the left bottom corner of the window. I want to switch off this feature, but cannot find a way to do this, it is not in the options.

''suppress page loading status, in lower left corner''
You can hide/show the add-ons bar (formerly status bar) with "Ctrl+/", which is the same as ["Alt"] > View > Toolbars > (check on/off) Add-ons bar
For more control over the add-ons bar try the "'''Status-4-Evar'''" extension (34KB)

How to suppress blank page and selection criteria in SPOOL ?

My Z program submits two programs to spool and converts the ABAP List in the spool to PDF and emails.
After upgrade to ECC6, the first (a report painter report) resulting PDF there was one blank page and the contents were displayed on second page. For the second report (RKPEP003 - CJI3) the selection criteria that the report used was printed as the first page of output and the result on a subsequent page. The same thing happens when I individually execute these two reports directly in SE38 with the same selection criteria. I believe the blank page is there in the spool because when I view the spool as a RAW, there is a P in the first column, however the spool shows that there is only one page in the first and two in the second (this is true - one for selection criteria "which I don't want" and then the actual content). In 46C, when I look at the RAW view of the spool there is no additional P's in the first column.
I do not want to have the blank page on the first report and the selection criteria listed on the output of the report. How can I do that ? I am thinking get_print_parameters can in someway get me there, but I am not sure.
Thanks
Hari

The first report painter program writes a regular ABAP list.
The second outputs an ALV.

How to suppress blank page in sapscript

Hi All,
I am working on cheque printing, after I run the transaction F110, it will print the sap script which I have developed, everything is working fine and good. But its printing an extra blank page in addition with cheque. I have tested thinking it might be main window extention, but its not, even i have tested by keeping page number variable in main window, its not at all getting extented to the next page. I am wondering from where this blank is getting created, anybody can help me in this?
Thanks in advance
Kasturi

Hi Sridy,
Please debug the SAP script and check where exactly the value of &page& variable changes before triggering your Blank page and remove that unwanted piece of code.
Also check for contents of variable in debug mode.

Suppressing certain pages of a report

I need to build a large report that contains multiple reports (30 or so reports in all). I want the user to be able to select from a parameter form which reports the large report will contain. Is there a way to set a trigger for each page that depends on the values passed from the parameter form. Someone please tell me what kind of trigger to use and how it should be coded.
Thanks,
Tripp

I'm not sure I understand: "Is there a way to set a trigger for each page". This seems to imply that you have one report and you want to restrict values displayed in that report. To do this you would just add a user parameter and reference it in the query to restrict the values returned. You wouldn't restrict the values in the layout.
However, if you do mean that you have a large report will contain 30 or so individual "reports" in it. Then each of these "reports" will have an independant section in the layout which should be surrounded by a variable sized frame - say M_1, M_2,.. M_30. In your output, you only want say "M_5" to be printed.
To do this, you need to create a format trigger against: "M_1", "M_2", .. "M_30". You would then have a user parameter "p_report" which you would reference in the format trigger as something like - for M_5:
function M_5FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
return (nvl(:p_report, 'none') = 'M_5');
end;
To print only M_5, pass p_report=M_5 ont he command line.
You probably already have something more friendly than 'M_5' as the input value for the parameter.
You should also look at restricting the data retrieved by each of the other "reports" in your large report. You can do this by adding a lexical parameter to each of the queries so that they return no rows unless they are required by the "report".

Suppressing blank pages not working

I am running a report that has a distribution list which emails the bursted report using pdf type. The main section has 3 horizontal panels. When I run the report via a url, I include the parameter blankpages=no and they are still showing up on the .pdf. Any suggestions?

Ok, for a report with distribution list inside report there is another bug open bug2695896 filed by a customer which is not fixed in 904 .
2 suggestions
1) if u have a support contract please contact support and try to escalate the bug for fixing. It will be fixed and a patch will be given specifically for your installation
2) Workaround
Till then as a workaround....
In 10g there is a new xml based distribution introduced
Search in [     Publishing reports to web - 10G ], link below, for this
Please see if that distribution would be OK for you as a workaround (ie if blankpages=no works there), for your specific reports.
(The bug is when the dist list is inside the report which is the "old" type of distribution)

Suppress page in FR Fusion 11.1.2.507

I have a report based on one grid that has an organization dimension in the page. no point of view and other dimensions in columns and rows. I would like to suppress the pages where the org has no values. is there a way to suppress pages? Thank You

Have you tried checking the If Zero, Suppress and/or If Missing, Suppress options under Grid Properties > Suppression > Basic Options? If not, here are the links: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/fr_user/3731.html
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/fr_user/ch09s03s02.html
When you run the report on Workspace, you would still see the list of organization dimension members on your drop-down list, but when you select a member with no data, the report should be blank.
Cheers,
Mehmet

How to suppress page header when rendering particular group footer

Description: I am using Crystal Reports 2008. I have a report with a page header, and several groupings. The groups all suppress their headers, but have footers. The grouping is in the order: type,county,city,status,parent. The first 3 footers force a new page before the footer. The county footer includes summaries and charts.
Problem: The client wants the header displayed for the detail and the header for the county footer to be different. How can I make this happen?
More Info: I currently have just a page header. I have tried messing with the suppress formula for the page header, but I cannot figure out the correct formula to use to suppress the page header on a county footer page. Is there a way to do this, or is there a completely different approach I should be taking to solve this?
I can provide more info if needed.
Google search was unhelpful in solving this problem. This problem is driving me nuts. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

What i would suggest is to create a new variable in WhilePrintingRecords evaluation time. For example:
1. Boolean variable set to TRUE in Group Footer #2 (County)
2. Reset it to FALSE in Group Header #2 and Group Footer#1
3. Use the variable for conditional suppression
