Create a group, force the group to be printed on a new page (there is an option for the group).

Use as group expression something like:

new Integer(  (int) ( $V{REPORT_COUNT}.intValue() / 10 ) )

10 in this case is the number of records per group (aka per page)

Vans,

 

Giulio's answer does exactly what you are looking for. REPORT_COUNT certainly isn't a fixed value. Well, his example is for 10 rows per page. But changing "10" to "5" isn't difficult. ;-)

Have you tried it yet? Please let us know if you're successful.

Hi Matt,

I tried but its not working. For testing purpose i created a new group called "PageCount" and force the group to be printed on a new page  and expression i put

new Integer((int)($V{REPORT_COUNT}.intValue()/2))

for testing purpose i restrict no.of records per page as 2. dataset is retrieving 3 records from data base. but i am getting only 1 page report with only 1 record in a page. Please help me to resolve the issue.

i here by attaching report.jrxml file for your reference

thanks vans

vans,

 

Your idea of creating a minimal report to show the idea is perfect. It appears that your jrxml did not get attached. Please try fighting with the forum again to get it posted, so we can take a look.  ;-)

Ok! Found a way to accomplish this!

 

The rows are usually printed in the Details band.

At the end of the details band, where you need a page break, add a pagebreak.

In the pageBreak's properties, edit the printWhen Expression from the properties pane.

The expression will be

 

new java.lang.Boolean((int)($V{REPORT_COUNT}.intValue())%10==0)

 

where 10 is the number of records per page.

 

This is how it is done in iReports. The jrxml equivalent for people directly editing the file is as below.

 

new java.lang.Boolean((int)($V{REPORT_COUNT}.intValue())%10==0)
