Hi,

I would like to display my table in 2 similar parts side by side in the same page (landscape format), instead of displaying my table only on the left side on my page and going on a second page.

My table is a very simple one and contains 3 little columns.

Is it a way to make that?

Best option is to create it as two reports
and use the composer to generate a compound document.

Or ... create an extra column, called column or some such descriptive name, that you can increment with 1 after so many rows have been processed, and then do an across on this column (noprint). That will divide your report in two parts, one left and one right. You would also have to keep track of the rows, and see to it that your column field gets set back to 1 when the right number of records have been processed.
It would resemble something like this:
define file xxx
-* keep track of the number of records read
reccntr/i5 = if reccntr eq 35 then 1 else reccntr+1;
-* calculate left or right column
colnum/i5 = if reccntr eq 1 and colnum eq 1 then 2 else if reccntr eq 1 then 1 else colnum;
-* Calculate pagenumber
pagnum/i5 = if colnum eq 1 then pagnum + 1 else pagnum;
end

table file xxx
sum yy1 yy2 yy3
by pagnum page-break noprint
by reccntr noprint
across colnum noprint
end

(Haven't tested this, but it comes close I guess).

Hope this helps ... if only to give an idea of how it could be done.

You could use possibly PAGEMATRIX.

"PAGEMATRIX" works well in PDF.
