Hi,

Yes, this is possible, not easy but possible.
What I usually do is create array variables and the dimension is the number of collumns.
So for you that would be 2.
You should create 2 Array variables, one for your "Item No." and one for your "Name".
In your dataitem "OnAfterGetRecord" trigger, you load your data into the array variables.
You also set a boolean in this trigger. This boolean controls if the new section should print.
You set this boolean to True when 2 records have been read or if the end of the data has been reached.
You add an integer dataitem indented to your dataitem. Set the maxiteration to '1'.
Add your report sections to the the integer dataitem. In the OnPreSection trigger you check your boolean and if it is set to True, print the section.
In your section you add the the array variables with their index numbers, like ItemNo[1], ItemName[1] and ItemNo[2], ItemName[2].

This should do the trick,

I hope this helps,
