Values of $V{PAGE_NUMBER} in subreport

[malani_manish]

Everyone knows the standard solution for showing "Page # of #", i.e. making two text fields with $V{PAGE_NUMBER} and keeping their evaluation time as Now and Report respectively.

I would like to make the page footer part of my every report as a common report, which in turn will be used as a subreport in master.

I pass $V{PAGE_NUMBER} as a parameter to subreport but I cannot achieve the same thing as I can in master report. Can I have some work around for this?

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK there is still no solution to use the $V{PAGE_NUMBER } variable of MasterReport within a SubReport.

As the SubReport is a report of it's own, it will always just contain the number of pages this subreport has. And when pass the variable as SubReport variable down to the SubReport it will always have the value it has NOW and not at REPORT (level).

just my two cents

Thanks CBox for your reply, that makes sense. I will keep the display of Page # of # in master report itself.
