Printing Trigger n number of times

mbskapil · 2006-06-26

Hi All
Is there any process to repeat the printing of either header , body or any trigger n number of times during report generation.

Not individual sections I don't think, but check out the sales invoice document to see how you can control number of copies.

Well DenSter
Even there is no such option in Sales Invoice Document,plz tell if you have any alternate

If I were to have to write a report that repeats itself, I would do something similar to what is done in the sales invoice report. I'm not going to write your report for you

, so you're going to have to examine that report and figure out a way to use that logic in your case.

If you want more help you will have to be more specific.

Just repeat the sections and on the preSection add code to say if to print

Weather, Header (1) - OnPreSection()
CurrReport.SHOWOUTPUT := MyLoop IN[1,3,5];

Weather, Header (2) - OnPreSection()
CurrReport.SHOWOUTPUT := MyLoop IN[1,2,4,6];

Weather, Header (3) - OnPreSection()
CurrReport.SHOWOUTPUT := MyLoop IN[7,9];

Weather, Header (4) - OnPreSection()
CurrReport.SHOWOUTPUT(MyLoop=10);

I think the question was "can you repeat individual sections", and I don't think you can. I don't know a way to print one particular body section more than once for one record.

MyLoop = Integer // This is the loop or iteration counter
>Weather = Record Weather // Indented DataItem

If you have an Integer Loop (MyLoop) then the indented Weather Data Item it would print as many Iterations as you set with MyLoop.SETRANGE(Number,1,MaxLoops)

I was just showing that you could then have conditional switched output based on the loop Number, if you only wanted selective sections printing

Weather, Header (1) - OnPreSection()
CurrReport.SHOWOUTPUT := MyLoop IN[1,3,5];
Prints First, Third and Fifth Iterations

You may hade a document that you print several copies with different output from one document, File Copy, Customer Copy, Packing Copy etc:

Right I see, you're using an integer dataitem

which was what I tried to point Kapil to. I thought you had a trick to print the same secion more than once.

Yep it was an extention to your answer not a replacement
