How to have a modified col header on second page when the report/subreport splits into 2 pages

[rahulagrawal]

Normally when there is too much data ( rows), the report spills into second and thrid pages.

We are able to get the col header printed/repeated at the top on each page to which the rows extend.

If we want to achieve that not just the col header, but some additional text in the col header like "Continued....." should also apprear when data flows over to additional page.

How do we achive such a thing.

Just create 2 header bands with conditions based on the page.

Thanks for guiding. I need more help to understand this.

We have a big main report that includes many sub reports.

Each Subreport is like a section in the main report- which finally gets printed as a pdf.

The subreport may or may nor start on a new page. They continue from where the previous subreport end.

Depending upon the size of data - each subreport can go across 1 or more pages.

Most of the subreports have a col. heading.

At runtime, When the subreport grows beyond and goes over the next page, we want the ability to add - extra words like "XXXX continued" in the col. header on the subsequent page.

To get this conditionally - as you have explained, what would be the logic in the condition.

How would that logic tie up with the knowledge that the subreport data  has now gone to next page ( or that the col. header is getting reprinted)

And we need this for all subreports - which are alteast 10 in number.

Thanks.
