Unable to specify height of details section

I am creating a report that will ultimately be printed on pre-printed statements with two columns. So, I first set my details section to print with multiple columns in the Section Expert. However, I would also like to specify the height of the details section so it does not run into the other data on the page. But, when I go to the Layout Tab in the Section Expert, the height section is greyed out, thus not allowing me to specify the height of my details section.

Try this option
Right click on group footer (on grayed area) go to section expert and check the option Print at the bottom of the page which prints the group at the bottom of the page to exclude printing other groups data in the page.
You can also try the option New page After for group header section that prints each group data in a seperate page.
Hope this helps!

Setting the height of detail section with RAS SDK

Hi, all,
is it possible to locate a section (CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.Section) in a reportk you and set its maximum height?
When I find a detail section in question like so section = reportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportDefinition.DetailArea.Sections[counter];
it just gives me the height of one row.
Is there a way to set a maximum size of it?
Thank you!

Hi Jelena,
see the below sample to add a new section to the report.
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-6025
in the sample, see below code how the section properties are set.
//Set the properties for the section
    boSection.Kind = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.CrAreaSectionKindEnum.crAreaSectionKindDetail;
    boSection.Name = "Detail2";
    boSection.Height = 1000;
    boSection.Width = 11520;
Refer to above sample and write your own code to identify the section and then set the properties.
Othe RAS SDk samples are here.

How to fix the height of the details section in crystal reports.

hi all
How to fix the height of the details section in crystal reports.

Thanks for your reply
i didnt get the clear idea about your answer can you explain it once with example
why iam asking is when i add a new details section according to you answer maintaining same height of the two details sections and i see the preview the iam getting gap between each record. this is so because one record from details section1 and another empty space from details section2
like
Details section A-contains records
Details section B- no records
Details section A-contains records
Details section B-no records
Then how will i solve my issue
Thanks in advance

Blank space between Detail section and Page Footer - How to remove it ?

below is the problem.
We make report as followspage header Section details
Employee Information
Report Footer
Page Footer
Other Information
whenever we run this crystal report it leaves space in between after employee information (Detail Section) and before Page Footer.We don't know its a problem of footer or any other else.
When i preview and print out the reports
it showing Detail section 10 Rows (which satisfying condition) and then Blank space and then at the bottom of page shows Page Footer (which contain 2 subreports).
Let me know if you need aditional information on this.
pls provide suggestions.

Try with this
1. Suppress any unused sections in both sureports and in the mainreport.
2. Check all the fields fits the sections. Select all the fields in the section and give align top and make all the fields of same height and make it fit to the section.
Hope this solves your problem.

Vertically align a field in details section.

I am new to Crystal Reports so I will do my best to explain what I am trying to achieve......
In MS Excel, it is possible to vertically align text so that it remains in the centre of the cell regardless of the cell height. I would like to do a similar thing in the details section of Crystal Reports.
I have several fields in the details section of the report. They are all in a horizontal line. I have enabled the 'Can Grow' feature for one of the fields so that it will increase in height to accomodate large text entries. I would like the other fields to adjust so that the centres of each of the fields align vertically - in the same way as they would in excel is the text was aligned vertically.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I do not want to horizontally align the writing.
I have 5 fields in a row in the details section. One of the fields (call it field A) can grow to usually no more than 2 lines.
When field A takes up 1 line then the other fields look OK becuase the centres of all of the fields line up.
When field A grows to 2 lines, I would like writing in the other fields to move down slightly so that they align with the centre of field A.
Is this possible?

Details section extends to a whole page when multipage field is printed

Crystal Reports designer in VS 2005 Prof. C#
I have a field which sometimes is large, so it is printed on several pages.
When a field is small, ie. starts and finishes on the same page, then all is OK. I mean, that Details vertical lines and field borders are closed as soon as the last field is fully printed. Report Footer is propely printed after the last Details row.
But when a field occupies several pages then, on the last page, the Details section is not closed after the last row but extends to a whole page.
So, as a result of this behavior, the Report Footer is printed over the Detail's vertical lines. This is my problem.
I tried the following:
1. Change setting Keep Object Together - does not help.
2. Inserting an extra Group Section - Group Footer was printed over on Details body - overlapped.
To show this problem here are 2 pictures. Please pay attention to the column "Odcinki".

Hi Trevor and Ludek,
At last success - I found the workaround!
Before my give up, during the downloading time of the PerpetuumSoftware report generator, I tested the last idea which comes from [Joe's help posted in this thread|http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vscrystalreports/thread/77b28835-12aa-4592-bcc8-c2b8dbf49317].
I removed all vertical lines from the Detail section and the box surrounding the Detail's section row.
I inserted a new group section which works exactly as the Detail section, so it changes along with Detail section.
I put the vertical lines starting from the GroupHeader section and expanded it across the Detail section to the middle height somewhere inside the GroupFooter. And now I set the line's bottom = 0. It means that it ends exactly at the top of GroupFooter section.
Next, I set the height's of GroupHeader and GroupFooter sections = 0.
The import things are:
- vertical lines (box'es) cannot start in the PageHeader, they must start at top of GroupHeader
- vertical lines (box'es) cannot end in the Detail section, they must end at top of GroupFooter
And now, it works as I expected. Here is the [PDF example|http://www.zgadzaj.pl/temp/KIM_OK.pdf].
Thanks to your advices and support I was able to investigate this problem,
so thank you again for the help.

Unable to view the "Discovery Application" section under studio.

Hello,
I have installed OEID 3.0, using integrator I have loaded the sample getting started application to the server successfully.
I am following the instructions given under the getting started guide, after loading the data to the server I am able to login successfully to studio http://localhost:8101.
However in the login screen I am getting only the "welcome Admin Admin!" menu, under which I am unable to see the Discovery Application section.
But I followed the guide to access the control panel and change the default datasource, as per the guide I clicked "Back to home" but still Discovery Application section is not visible.
Which is obviously used for creating and managing the applications.
But I managed to create the application by selecting control panel > Portal > Application and I created the application and managed to load the EID_3.0_SampleApp.LAR file and able to successfully launch the studio.
Can anyone kindly let me know why I am unable to view the discovery application section till now?
Thanks.

I don't completely follow yet what you are seeing in your Studio instance. Is your "Discovery Applications" panel not showing, or is it empty, or is the "New Application" button missing? Perhaps you could paste a screenshot somewhere and link it here.
You say you are having problems with datasources - could you paste your data source JSON, and any error messages you are getting in the Studio logs?

Hi Srini,
You can't place another object directly below an object that 'grows'.
Create another section and move the line to this new section.

Unrelated data in master detail sections of a custom BIP report deployed in R12 EBS

We have a custom Master Detail BIP report generated by calling XDO APIs from a custom Java concurrent program (common_report_attachment) . This Java concurrent program is called from another custom concurrent program (po_validation) that processes a batch of POs in a single concurrent request.
PO_Validation Program (processes a batch of POs per request) -> Java Concurrent Program -> BI Publisher Report APIs
BIP report generates data for master detail sections based on two sql queries (given below) that have 'where' clause based on a common external parameter "P_TRX_HDR_ID".
NOTE: No explicit data link is used NOR an output column of parent query is used in the where clause of detail query as bind parameter.

Issue: Sometimes when the parent concurrent request runs for a batch with multiple POs the report generated for the last PO has inconsistent data in the master and detail sections. To elaborate, the detail section is having correct data pertaining to the PO identified by the parameter "P_TRX_HDR_ID". However, the master section is having data pertaining to the previous PO processed from the same batch.
This issue is not occurring consistently and is not reproducible at will. I
'm suspecting this could be because of not having data link between the queries but confirm from someone who has experienced this issue.

Srinath

is there any way from the page, can we pass the some values, which can identify the page level data?
if so pass the parameter to BIP report query.

How to combine multiple Details section rows in my report

Hello,
I am currently creating a report which will display employee details, which includes first name, last name, home phone, cell phone and Email.
I get my First Name and Last name from the "Employees" table but all other info is situated in the "CommunicationLinks" table.
The tricky part which I am having issues with is the Home Phone, Cell Phone and Email are all under the same field in this table, the field is called "DisplayAs".
These 2 tables are linked together by taking Employees.LinkID and linking it to CommunicationLinks.LinkIDParent, which are matching linkids.
The only issue that I have, is for example, if you look at the screenshot provided, I have 5 details section that gets populated for the same employee.
How can I combine all these 5 records to only one?
The homephone, cellphone and email field have formulas created for them, the formula is as follow.
This example below is for the HomePhone field, the others have different type assigned to them
If {CommunicationLinks.Type} =1 then
{CommunicationLinks.DisplayAs}
else ""
Homephone, Cellphone and Email are all different types but uses the same field "DisplayAs".
I also tried creating a subreport for each of these fields but seems to give me the same results.
Any help would be really appreciated.
If you have any other questions please let me know. See attached screenshots for reference.
Thank you in advanced.
Jocelyn

Easier way without working in SQL:
1. Group by a field that is unique to the employee.
2. Suppress the employee group header and the details sections.
3. Create a couple of formulas:
{@ClearVariables}
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar HomePhone := "";
StringVar CellPhone :="";
StringVar Email := "";
Put this formula in the employee group header - even though the section is suppressed, it will evaluate.
{@SetVariables}
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar HomePhone;
StringVar CellPhone;
StringVar Email;
if {CommunicationLinks.Type} =1 then
HomePhone := {CommunicationLinks.DisplayAs};
else if {CommunicationLinks.Type} = <type for cell> then
CellPhone := {CommunicationLinks.DisplayAs};
else if {CommunicationLinks.Type} = <type for email> then
Email := "";
Put this formula in the details section - it will evaluate even though the section is suppressed.
{@HomePhone}
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar HomePhone
(Do the same for Cell Phone and Email. Note that there is no semi-colon at the end of this one!)
Put these formulas and all of the rest of the employee data in one or more Employee group footer sections.

Export to Excel - Multiple Tables in a single details section

Hi All,
I have a set of reports where I am using a single details section to show multiple tables stacked over one another. That is, i have a table with three columns and two rows, followed by some white space and then another table with 4 columns and 1 row, followed by white space and then other tables.
When I export it to excel, I am getting the data but the ordering is in a reverse pivoted fashion:
Excel output:
CR_column1_Heading    CR_Column2_Heading    CR_Column1_Data CR_Column2_Data
Is there a way to control the sequence of fields displayed in excel while exporting?
Thanks.
- Atif.

@Carl,
It is printing like this.
HEADER1   HEADER2    HEADER3     DATA 1     DATA 2     DATA 3
I am getting all the columns and fields in excel, that is not a problem. However, the problem is whether i can control the order the fields are printed onto Excel.
Like what Ben is commenting:
HEADER1   DATA 1     HEADER2    DATA 2     HEADER3     DATA 3
However, I dont want to reorder the fields on the canvas as the format layout is predefined.
I tried searching through the Cystal SDK if there is a finer level of control but to no avail.
A work around under the above constraints would be simply amazing!
Thanks again and appreciate your response.
Regards,
Atif.

Attachments/Pictures not loading in messages (details section) post iOS 8.0.2

I have an iPhone 5 - after downloading 8.0.1 I discovered the new "Details" section of messages that showed all of your pictures/videos in a message thread as "Attachments", grouped in a grid style. However, after my update to 8.0.2 some of the attachments do not load. There is no way to click on the pictures/attachments to "download" them. When you click on the impacted attachments it will simply show a message such as "IMG_3645.jpg" for example. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to which images do/don't load.
I have checked and confirmed I have available storage left
I have done a hard re-boot (with the power/home button simultaneously
I haven't seen any other instances (in forums, etc..) regarding this issue.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

**** the Apple,ios8.0.2 makes iPhone 5s useless,according to Apple if u want to downgrade to iOS 7.1.2,u should throw your mobile out and buy a new iPhone 5s from Apple Store and you could install stable iOS 7.1.2..... Stupid people with no brain....try to hire some developers from android they will do the rest,,,,I was with android before,I have not had this type of inability even single time.....even if firmware is completely buggy and useless,we must use that firmware as no other options are there.....what a stupid policy is this?.......my iPhone 5s is completely useless with iOS 8.0.2 now. Could I return my iPhone to Apple Store? Idiots....

Blob dictates duplicate items in details section-based on supression

I was orginally having issues with my supression on this. I think I have it figured out. But..
I have parts that I request that sometimes have drawing with them. I created a table in Access with 3 columns - number, .bitmap., nameof drawing
I brought this table in. I place 1 drawing in the reports and this changes based upon the Paramter{drawing.id} that I have beeing selected. The problem is that I get duplicate fields produced in my details section. Now the blob sits in my report footer C. Can anyone suggest why or help with why my data is duplicating in my details section?
all items in my details section are duplicating
here is my sql if it helps:
max40385
SELECT "PR"."PRNUM", "COMPANIES"."NAME",
"COMPANIES"."ADDRESS1", "COMPANIES"."ADDRESS2",
"COMPANIES"."ADDRESS3", "COMPANIES"."ADDRESS4",
"COMPANIES"."PHONE", "COMPANIES"."FAX", "PR"."SHIPTOATTN",
"COMPANIES_1"."NAME", "COMPANIES_1"."ADDRESS1",
"COMPANIES_1"."ADDRESS2", "COMPANIES_1"."ADDRESS3",
"COMPANIES_1"."ADDRESS4", "PR"."ISSUEDATE", "PR"."CONTACT",
"PR"."REQUIREDDATE", "PRLINE"."ITEMNUM", "PRLINE"."ORDERUNIT",
"PRLINE"."ORDERQTY", "PRLINE"."DESCRIPTION",
"PRLINE"."UNITCOST", "PRLINE"."LINECOST",
"PRLINE"."PONUM", "LONGDESCRIPTION"."LDTEXT"
FROM   "MAXIMO"."PR" "PR", "MAXIMO"."COMPANIES" "COMPANIES",
"MAXIMO"."COMPANIES" "COMPANIES_1", "MAXIMO"."PRLINE"
"PRLINE", "MAXIMO"."LONGDESCRIPTION" "LONGDESCRIPTION"
WHERE ("PR"."VENDOR"="COMPANIES"."COMPANY") AND ("PR"."SHIPTO"="COMPANIES_1"."COMPANY") AND ("PR"."PRNUM"="PRLINE"."PRNUM") AND ("PRLINE"."LDKEY"="LONGDESCRIPTION"."LDKEY" ) AND "PR"."PRNUM"='25334'
C:\Documents and Settings\kpowell\My Documents\Drawings.mdb
SELECT `Parts_Drawings`.`ID`
FROM   `Parts Drawings` `Parts_Drawings`
Edit here-
Ok - I have 3 parameters
1- sets pr field ={?pr.num}
2.- mandatory answer determines a supress on fields(blob, and section blob is in) - supress statment is   - {?yes/no}=no - for both areas
the parameter is {?yes/no}
3. sets up the blob to put into the document base upon a field in the table
that I made in access (based upon column 1 in acces table) - user makese selection based upon yes or no above if no then just leave it as ......
The wired thing is when I have multiple line items in my Pr (purchase request)
if I included a drawing there are no duplicate details
If I dont include the blob (meaning I supress it based upon the answer in my parameter - all items in the details section duplicate ( i suppress these if duplicated but it leaves huge gaps in my report.... any help would be great!
Ok i figured it out. In my access table i created the 1st entry and left the bitmap entry empty and put a descrition of not needed. I selected this as my drawing in my 3rd parameter and it satifies the report as thinking it has a drawing in it even though there is not. So all my duplicate line item in my details section disappear. thanks all

Group By and Detail section should be at same page

Hi
I am developing a Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2005. My report have one Group Section and two detail ( detail a, detail b) sections. In group section I am displaying Test Categories and in Detail Section (detail a) I am displaying Test Result for particular Test Categories, in detail (detail b) section I am conditionally displaying a sub report against a particular testid from detail (a) section.
I want to display all test results against a test category on the same page. If this fit on the page it should display otherwise category name and all its test should be display on next page.
Thanks in advance

Qasim not sure if you have tried this already,
right click on the group (that blue bar) and click Change Group-->Options->Keep Group together.
This will keep them together and if it exceeds one page it will start from the new one.
Hope this helps
