Displaying multiple reports in a single page.
How to display multiple reports in a single page?
I tried to put multiple reports in a single focexec using resource layout editor.
Bit it is ignoring my custom format options defined in some of the reports.
Does any one has the solutions for this?
Any help is heighly appreciated.

Make sure CSS is activated in each of the reports (SET HTMLCSS=ON). As of release 5.2.x we added code that helped with this issue. CSS style blocks are placed before the affected report which should help. The key is to effectively handle global styling with the browser's inheritance rules. There may be some cases where global CSS styling is undesirably being applied to certain reports. CSS is interpreted and rendered by the browser and unfortunately it is very difficult to house multiple reports each with custom styling in the same HTML page.

The best solution is to use IFRAMES. IFRAMES can have their own URL source (focus report) and the border can be turned off (FRAMEBORDER=NO) to create a single page look and feel. This guarantees no overlap in styling. The Resource Layout Painter handles this exceptionally well in the upcoming 523 release. I hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply.

But I have drilldown on each report I display in that page. It also has graphical and tabular reports.I could not achieve this with IFRAME, since there is no option provided to specify the target frame for drilldown in graphs or tabular reports.(BTW: I am calling another focexec for drilldown)

When can we expect 5.2.3 with these fixes?

I don't see where drilldowns would have any problems in this scenario. The ability to direct drilldown output to an IFRAME has always been available in the Resource Layout. Getting back to your original question, what exact custom formatting is lost?

523 is expected for 4th qtr.

I am trying to display three graphs and two tabular reports in a page. One of my tabular report has custon styling(If column1 value is greater than column 2 then display column three values in bold and red). When I execute it as a individual procedure it works fine. When I put them all together in a resource layout, the style is messing up.It never show me the values in red though the condition is met.

It worked fine with IFRAME. But I have a problem with drilldown from graph.
From graph, I have to drilldown to another focexec from Y-Axis values. There is no option given to specify the target frame(like _top,_parent etc.,) when I execute the drilldown report from a graph.
Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks.
