| Two column reports | Login/Join |

Is there a way to create a two column report where your data fills up one column on a page and then goes to the next column on the page. We are in the process of creating our campus phone book and in the back we have departmental listings that are two column pages. All you help is greatly appreciated Thanks! | ||

This may work, define Row and Column fields. Something like this: DEFINE FILE CAR COL/P6 WITH MODEL = IF COL LT 4 THEN (COL + 1) ELSE 1; ROW/P6 WITH MODEL = IF COL EQ 1 THEN (ROW + 1) ELSE ROW; END TABLE FILE CAR SUM MODEL BY ROW NOPRINT ACROSS COL NOPRINT END | |||

Give this a try TABLE FILE CAR PRINT CAR COMPUTE COUNTER/I2 = IF COUNTER GE 4 THEN 1 ELSE COUNTER + 1; COMPUTE COLUMN_NUM/I2 = IF COUNTER EQ 1 THEN (IF COLUMN_NUM GE 2 THEN 1 ELSE COLUMN_NUM + 1) ELSE COLUMN_NUM; COMPUTE PAGE_BR/I2 = IF (LAST COLUMN_NUM NE COLUMN_NUM) AND (LAST COLUMN_NUM EQ 2) THEN PAGE_BR + 1 ELSE PAGE_BR; BY CAR NOPRINT ON TABLE SET HOLDLIST PRINTONLY ON TABLE HOLD AS H0 FORMAT ALPHA END-RUN DEFINE FILE H0 ROW_1/A20 = IF COLUMN_NUM EQ 1 THEN CAR ELSE ''; ROW_2/A20 = IF COLUMN_NUM EQ 2 THEN CAR ELSE ''; END-RUN TABLE FILE H0 SUM MAX.ROW_1 MAX.ROW_2BY PAGE_BR NOPRINT BY COUNTER NOPRINTON PAGE_BR PAGE-BREAK ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF END-RUNThis message has been edited.

You might want to check out the "Mailing Label" printing options. They are described in the "Creating Reports" manual, in the chapter on "Laying out the Report Page". You make each entry a "label" and then specify how to print them the way you want. There are special options you put in your stylesheet. You can set PAGEMATRIX=(2 N) for 2 columns and N (replaced by numbers of rows you want), and MATRIXORDER to VERTICAL to print down first, then the next column. The full syntax and other options for the "labels" are in the documentation. | |||
