Unable to supress summary band.

 

I have a main report that prints 1 page in the title band and a second page that may or may not print in the summary band. The content of the second page is being suppressed correclty, but an unwanted blank page is still being printed.

What else can be done?

 

See xml code below.

 

<summary>

<band height="700">

<subreport isUsingCache="true">

<reportElement

mode="Transparent"

x="8"

y="7"

width="489"

height="685"

forecolor="#000000"

backcolor="#FFFFFF"

positionType="FixRelativeToTop"

isPrintRepeatedValues="false"

isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true"

isPrintInFirstWholeBand="false"

isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="false">

<printWhenExpression>

(((com.wcom.obd.nc.reports.virs.VIRSHandler)$P{REPORT_SCRIPTLET}).isShowFailureReport())

</printWhenExpression>

</reportElement>

<parametersMapExpression>

new HashMap($P{REPORT_PARAMETERS_MAP})

</parametersMapExpression>

<dataSourceExpression>

$P{report_data_source_FailurePage2Report}

</dataSourceExpression>

<subreportExpression class="java.lang.String">

"reports/FailurePage2Report.jasper"

</subreportExpression>

</subreport>

</band>

</summary>

Hi,

 

Do you use isSummaryNewPage="true" in your

master document?

 

Thank you,

Teodor

I am having a similar situation Teodor. I have a summary section that will only print when there is no data. It just so happens I have a report where there is data that fills exactly 2 pages but I am getting 3 pages - I think it is because the report is creating space for my summary. Is there a way to ignore the summary in this case. Here is my summary code:

 

<summary>

<band height="39">

<textField>

<reportElement isPrintRepeatedValues="true" mode="Transparent" x="200" y="26" width="400" height="13">

<printWhenExpression>new Boolean($P{Empty} == "true")</printWhenExpression>

</reportElement>

<textElement textAlignment="Center">

<font reportFont="Arial_Title" />

</textElement>

<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String">"NO DATA COULD BE FOUND TO SATISFY THE REQUEST"</textFieldExpression>

</textField>

</band>

</summary>

 

 

Thanks again!!

Hi,

 

Use the <printWhenExpression> available at <band> level.

 

This way you wont be getting an empty 39 pixels tall

summary band creating a new last blank page for nothing.

 

Thank you,

Teodor
