Are there any general rules for creating compound pdf reports? I am trying to create a compound report in the following manner
Report 1 (vendor information) ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT PDF ON TABLE SET COMPOUND OPEN
LOOP (Read all the item information for the vendor order by department id)
Report 2 (Checks for every new department and displays only if any department level discount information exists) ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT PDF ON TABLE SET COMPOUND NOBREAK
Report 3 (item information) ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT PDF ON TABLE SET COMPOUND NOBREAK
Report 4 (pricing information) ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT PDF ON TABLE SET COMPOUND NOBREAK
END LOOP
Report 5 (Dummy report for closing the compound report) ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT PDF ON TABLE SET COMPOUND CLOSE
Webfocus is generating the report correctly for some vendors, but for others some pages are getting overlapped. (Based on the number of times the report 2 appears I guess - data from report2 and one or more report 3 & 4 are displaying over one another). I am setting the margin and other layout parameters as the same for all the reports as follows.
ON TABLE SET STYLE * UNITS=IN, PAGESIZE='A4', SQUEEZE=ON, ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE, LEFTMARGIN=0.6, RIGHTMARGIN=0.3, TOPMARGIN=0.1, BOTTOMMARGIN=0.1, $
If these posts don't answer your questions, then this may be related to detailed info such as the version of Adobe, WF, etc. At that point, I would strong suggest that you should open up a case with IBI Tech Support Help Desk and have a tech support representative to work with you.
Hope this info helps you.
Cheers,
