Different behavior of a subreport inside a report

[charliesuco]

I have a timetable report that works the way I want. I need the timetable to be contained inside a rectangle. The rectangle has to be fixed size whether the timetable has several pages or its empty. In order to achieve this, I have created an aditional report (now it's the main report) that only has the detail band. It has two rectangles that contain a timetable subreport each.

As I said the subreport works properly when it's used separately, but inside the main report the subreport adds one page with the two rectangles containing nothing. I've spend lots of time trying to avoid this but I haven't found what's wrong. Any idea?

 HorariosPorHoja_Cuadros.jrxml --> Main report

HorariosPorHoja_Salidas.jrxml --> Subreport

 

PD: My subreport has 5 columns, it seems that this is somehow related to the problem.

Make the subreport elements as tall as the band on which they are placed since otherwise they will push down white space in the band.

Thanks, that worked for this one, but what should I do if the subreport has elements above and below it in the same band (column footer)?

You should place the elements above or below the subreport, just don't leave any white space between the last element and the band bottom.

Ok, thanks
