Report - Section problem

roshini

Hello Experts......

Good Evening!

In Integer DataItem body , can we place a varible and display only once in the report ??

How to skip repeat rows??

do you have any idea, please suggest me........

Belias

there are multiple ways to achieve this:

-property maxiteration = 1 in integer dataitem
-property dataitemtableview = SORTING(Number) WHERE(Number=CONST(1))

and there are other ways, but these are the simplest

Hi Belias,

Thank you for your support.

As I assigned another variable and retrived a value, I want to print that variable value one time, as now it is repeating depend on rows.

how to achieve this??

Belias

Where do you want to print this? header, maybe? if so, put your integer dataitem as the first one, with no indentation

Yep headers print once (unless you print on every page).

In the rare cases where it just won't work to do it like that, you set a variable like "AlreadyDisplayed" and based your SHOWOUTPUT for the section on that variable.

Thanks for the quick response.

want to print at body not header

Belias

clear the variable after you've printed it the first time

Hi Belias,

Can you please explain, where to write the code, and how to clear the variable.

sorry to be synthetic but i tought it was clear...

how to clear the variable:
if it is text

text := '';

if it is integer

integer := 0;

and so on....the generic way to clear a variable is

CLEAR(variable);

About how to place your code...you should know the right place better than me as i think you have developed the report...or at least you have put the variable...just write your code in the right trigger!
