[REPORTS] merging two equal sections into one

Boom-Box

Hello,

by such a title, I probably scared some people... but there's no way I can resume my doubts in one sentence...

I faced the following problem with a report:

I had one DataItem (BankAccountLedgerEntry1) to which I wanted to set a group of conditions, filters and ranges and print the results; then, I must reset all conditions and give a new set of filters and ranges, get the results and print them in the same body!

In order to make it possible for the record to obey to this different and sometimes antagonistic conditions, I used a Integer DataItem and made BankAccountLedgerEntry1 dependent of it.


so now I Have the followiing code:

BankAccountLedgerEntry1 - OnPreDataItem()

CASE RecordLoop1.Number OF

1: BEGIN
...
   END;

2: BEGIN
....

END

And now comes my real report problem:

Instead of putting all the lines in the same body, I get two equal sections (with different records, the ones I want) but I would like to merge it into the same body...
is this possible?how can I do it?

Thanks In Advance,

michael

If I understood you...

Process bankaccount with first set of filters and store the records in a bankaccount temptable.
Process integer with the second set of filters and store the records in the SAME bankaccount temptable

Delete your sections

Create one new integer section (setrange number,1,temptable.count)
process the temp tableusing the "NEXT" statement and show your temptable fields in this section.
code in this new integer aftergetrecord:

if number = 1 then
  temptable.findfirst
else
  temptable.next

if I guess what you want, you can use another bankaccount dataitem instead of YOUR integer dataitem.

Hope it's clear

HI AGAIN,
i found a different solution...

both the Header and footer now belong to the integer, and the ledgerEntry only print as body!
i also have to check if I have record or not to show the section or not:

IF BankAccountLedgerEntry1.COUNT = 0 THEN
CurrReport.SHOWOUTPUT(FALSE);

this is worknig right now!

thanks for your help!
