Hi,
There are probably a number of ways that you can handle this, but the underlying principle for all of these would be that you need to have 2 reports. The first report would contain the first ten records and the second report would contain the next ten.
The way to do that would be to get the ROW_NUMBER() value for each line and, in the query defintion for each report, you would have a WHERE clause that restricted the results based on this value. The best way to do this would be to create a view and base the reports on this view. The view definition would include:
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY xxxx) AS ROW_NUMBER
where xxxx is the same order definition as the main ORDER BY clause. Each row will then get a ROW_NUMBER value that matches it's position in the query resultset.
Your first report would then have a WHERE clause of:
WHERE ROW_NUMBER < 11
the second report would have:
WHERE ROW_NUMBER BETWEEN 11 AND 20
The final step would be styling/positioning the reports. The first would probably be in Column 1 in the region and the second in Column 2. You would almost certainly have to adjust the styling and/or positioning using a style attribute in the region/report definitions.
