how to give limitation for the report?

julkifli33

hi all... i want to give limitation for the report
for example i have 3 documents
document 1 have 5 lines
document 2 have 11 lines
document 3 have 15 lines

each document only allow 10 lines
so... when i print document 1 - 3
it should show like this
document 1 = 5 lines
document 2 = 10 lines
document 3 = 10 lines

does anybody have an idea?
i used currreport.break in classic doesnt work
because if i have 15 lines... it still showing line 11-15 in second page

there is property "maxiterations" on the dataitem: try with that one...no code, better code
(but document that you've used that feature, another developer can easily miss it :whistle:

i set maxiteration as 10
but if i have 15 lines
then the 5 more lines will show in another page
i want to print only first 10 lines of the documents

another question is.... how to print document
starting from page 2 on wards
so the 1st page not to be printed

In the printer selection window..set pages from 2 to X

I don't clearly understand what you need: 10 lines at max per document, and if there are more lines, you don't print them?
if so on what dataitem did you set maxiteration?
you should set it on sales line, but i don't remember if the No. of iteration is reset every time you change the outer dataitem (e.g. sales header). If not, you'll get something like
Document 1 --> 5 lines
Document 2 --> 5 lines
and nothing more

In that case, a counter with a well placed currreport.skip/break should be ok :-k

sorry to made you confuse
here is the scenario
i have 3 documents
Document 1 have 5 lines
Document 2 have 10 lines
Document 3 have 15 lines

even though i highlight document 1-3 to be printed
but Document 3 will be printed
why? because only document 3 that have more than 10 lines
so it should print document 3 (only line 11-15)
