Printing fixed nos. of lines

Hi,

I would like to print fixed nos. of lines in the Body section of a report. For e.g. I would like to print 10 lines out which 4 may contain data and the balnce 6 lines will be blank. Can any body help me?

Thanks

Count the printed lines and rest print through Integer DataItem after that...

Or you could make a 4 line empty section do somthing like the following in the OnPreSection() trigger:

CurrReport.SHOWOUTPUT(counter MOD 4 = 0);

* Code has not been tested.

But this is not the general solution... try to not use some preconditions that there will be 4 lines.... :-) in two days you will be changing it to 5, 6, 7, 20... ;-)

It's a sample. You should change the 4 to a global variable which is set in the OnPreReport trigger.

Thing is, even if you should use an integer loop, there is always a place in Navision where you will need to set the (a) number of lines.

Problem is not in the "magic" constant but in the fixed section for "4 lines"... It is needed to create one line section and this print in loop...

Howdy, Stranger!
