Page Break for each Record in the Details Sec

2004-10-05 11:44

Dear Friends ,

 

we are using Jasper reports for the past 6 months.

 

In My Application , I have to Show a report in such a way , the detail part should Expand in Horizontal Direction .

 

So I have designed a subreport with 4 Columns in Horizontal Expansion .

 

I have got the Horizontal Expansion ,

 

But My requirement is ,

 

If I have 12 records in the subreport , It shows 4 records per row and Altogether 3 rows In the main report .

 

But I want to insert Page break for each row of the Details Band in Main report.

 

So these 12 recored will be shown in 3 pages , Each pages has One row with 4 records in a row.

 

 

Like ;

 

Page 1

Detail 1 2 3 4

End of page1

 

Page 2

Detail 5 6 7 8

End of page2

 

 

Page 3

Detail 9 10 11 12

End of page3

 

like this ,

 

So please tell me How to Give Page break for Each row in the Detail Section.

 

Regards

Sarmal

I think the detail section is designed to repeat itself like table rows. I'm not sure if we can insert a page break without changing the JasperReport source code.

 

Normally, from what I read in this forum, when we want to do something special we will need to introduce dummy report elements to get the effect, such as using a dummy data group to get a page break.

 

By the way, you said you have designed a table that expands in horizontal direction, that means the number of column is dynamic?

 

Or did you just have 4 columns and actually rearranging the data before passing to JasperReport so that to simulate the effect of horizontal table but the number of column is fixed to 4?
