Report - Printing several records in one line

mxc

How can I print several records from one table in the same line using a report?

Hi

for this you need a complete interation of the dataitem before printing. In every iteration You concatenate the field values in a string and in footer display the concatenated string variables. This is what I have been able to do till now !!!

I think there's a lot of ways to do this.

What you could do is buffering records in a temp record or an array. Then keep track of how many records you have buffered and print after a x records.

Try not to use the currform.showoutput statement. It doesn't work

(unless it's fixed in 3.70, anyone?)

Maybe something like this is a solution:

customer <Customer>
  Integer <PrintCustomers>

Customer - OnAfterGetRecord
  NumbCustomersBuffered := 
    NumbCustomersBuffered + 1;
  Cust[NumbCustomersBuffered] := Customer.name;

PrintCustomers - OnPreDataItem
  IF NumbCustomersBuffered MOD 5 <> 0 THEN
    currreport.break;
  
  NumbCustomersBuffered := 0;

PrintCustomers - body (section)
  Cust[1]
  Cust[2]
  Cust[3]
  Cust[4]
  Cust[5]
