Hi all!
I have graph and report as compound PDF document oriented as LANDSCAPE. My report contains ACROSS field - months. The width of report is bigger then widht of component container. Unfortunartelly paneling does not work: compouser wraps the report and put 'extra' data on the same page.
Is anybody knows how to do paneling in compound reports?

It is not supported. It's must be documented somewhere though I don't remember the exact place ...

quote:
While the length of the report will always include all of the rows of data generated by the
query, the width of the report is limited by the size of the defined component container. This
means that paneling is not supported for compound reports, although it is for non-compound
PDF reports.

I think the only "trick" I know is to try and squeeze your report in one single page by following a combination of style settings such as: SQUEEZE=ON, PAGESIZE=LEGAL, small FONT size (6 is probably the smallest business users may tolerate), tiny LEFTGAP/RIGHTGAP, small page margins.

I that still does not work, you can attempt to "fake" the report paneling using 2 different report requests in such a way that the different ACROSS values end up in different "reports". But then you have to hide (NOPRINt) some columns, play with the headings, reset the page numbers, etc. and it still may not look as you want. Too much trouble in my opinion.

If there is indeed an easier way, I'm afraid I don't know of it so hopefully someone else will step in with some ideas so we both can learn Smiler
