Fixed record number on every page?

2005-06-26 23:04

Hi all,

 

How to display fixed number of records on each page?

e.g. I want dispaly 10 records per page.

 

I know the only method to introduce a page break is using group(with isStartNewPage=true), but I don't know how to write the groupExpression.

 

Maybe this question have been asked, I searched but cann't find the solution.

 

regards

I remember having read something similiar some months ago....

try to use an expression like this:

 

$V{REPORT_COUNT} mod 10 == 0 (just from mind, no correct syntax)

 

where $V{REPORT_COUNT} is a builtin-variable holding the current number of record.

 

not tried... but should work. :-)

thanks the reply

I have tried the groupExpression like this:

new Boolean($V{REPORT_COUNT} % 10 == 0)

but which will dispaly 9 rows in first page, then 1 row in second page, then 10 rows in 3rd, 1 in 4th, etc.

I think this because of grouping will happen while the engine encounter the expression value is changed.

 

Now, I got a workround way:

I Assume I want to 10 rows in each page, the page size is A4 and each field height in detail is 20, so I can calculate all of the bands height, I let the pageFooter take all the rest height.

The problem is solved.
