Can you create a page break between compound reports, so that each report starts on a new page? I am using a TOC in a compound report (3 reports) and when I click to select the 2nd report my page header ends on the page of the previous report, which makes it so that you have to page down to see the top set of data.

Hi Jay,

Try the example code below. Hope this what you're looking for. It runs in PDF format.

SET PAGE = OFF
SET COMPOUND = ON
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR BY CAR BY MODEL SKIP-LINE BY MPG BY DCOST BY RCOST BY RPM BY COUNTRY
HEADING
"REPORT 1"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF OPEN
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE, UNITS=IN, PAGESIZE='LETTER',
LEFTMARGIN=0.25, RIGHTMARGIN=0.25, TOPMARGIN=0.1, BOTTOMMARGIN=0.1,$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR BY CAR BY MODEL SKIP-LINE BY MPG BY DCOST BY RCOST BY RPM BY COUNTRY
HEADING
"REPORT 2"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF OPEN
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE, UNITS=IN, PAGESIZE='LETTER',
LEFTMARGIN=0.25, RIGHTMARGIN=0.25, TOPMARGIN=0.1, BOTTOMMARGIN=0.1,$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
SET COMPOUND = OFF
TABLE FILE CAR BY CAR BY MODEL SKIP-LINE BY MPG BY DCOST BY RCOST BY RPM BY COUNTRY
HEADING
"REPORT 3"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF CLOSE
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE, UNITS=IN, PAGESIZE='LETTER',
LEFTMARGIN=0.25, RIGHTMARGIN=0.25, TOPMARGIN=0.1, BOTTOMMARGIN=0.1,$
ENDSTYLE
END

I guess this is an undocumentated feature.

I would always suggest following what is documented, as if it fails one day, IBI won't support it.

Could you please post your solution, as it may help someone else in the future.


Also, could you update the first post in this thread, and add [SOLVED] to the title.

My probelm was that I was doing a different type of compound report and I had to adjust relative position using the code below.



COMPOUND LAYOUT PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
OBJECT=BOOKMARKS, $
SECTION=S1, LAYOUT=ON, MERGE=OFF, ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE, TOPMARGIN=0.5, BOTTOMMARGIN=0.5,$
PAGELAYOUT=1, TOPMARGIN=0.5, BOTTOMMARGIN=0.5,$
COMPONENT=report1, TEXT='Daily Sales Report by Subsidiary Summary', TOC-LEVEL=1, BYTOC=3,
DRILLMAP=((L1 report2)), POSITION=(1 1), DIMENSION=(* *), $
COMPONENT=report2, TEXT='Daily Sales Report by Subsidiary Detail', TOC-LEVEL=1, BYTOC=3,
POSITION=(+0.00 +800.000), DIMENSION=(* *), RELATIVE-TO='report1',
RELATIVE-POINT=BOTTOM-LEFT, POSITION-POINT=TOP-LEFT, $
COMPONENT=report3, TEXT='Daily Sales Report by Subsidiary Rules', TOC-LEVEL=1, BYTOC=3,
POSITION=(+0.00 +800.000), DIMENSION=(* *), RELATIVE-TO='report2',
RELATIVE-POINT=BOTTOM-LEFT, POSITION-POINT=TOP-LEFT, $
