Hi all,

I'm back with two issues. I'm using the 7.6.2 release of Webfocus. I tried the overflow option on the pdf layout painter wich allow you to merge severals pdf report together. These feature work . My problem is on paging management. Indeed I got 3 reports embedded in a compound pdf. The last one has been printed in 2 pages. The problem is that nmy subhead is splitted on the 2 pages.

The related code for this report is

  
TABLE FILE PSRESULT
PRINT
 LIBELLE AS '' IN 7
 COMPUTE DATE_F1/A8DMYY= DATE_RESTRICKING; AS '' NOPRINT
 COMPUTE TXT1/A50 = ' au ' |  EDIT(DATE_F1,'99/99/9999') | ' : '; AS ''
 COURS AS ''
 WHERE DATE_RESTRICKING EQ &&SELDATE.EVAL
 WHERE FLAG_RESTRICKING EQ 4
 BY HIGHEST 1 DATE_COURS_PRODUIT  NOPRINT
 BY FLAG_RESTRICKING AS ''
 ON FLAG_RESTRICKING SUBHEAD NOSPLIT
 "Situation au <DATE_RESTRICKING"
 ""
 "Valorisation comptable au <+0><DATE_RESTRICKING <+0><VALORISATION_COMPTABLE"
 "Valorisation financière au <+0><DATE_RESTRICKING :<+0><VALORISATION_FINANCIERE"
 "Niveau de constatation :"
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM ON
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOSPLIT
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT,GRID=OFF,FONT='HELVETICA NEUE',SIZE=9,COLOR='NAVY',BACKCOLOR='NONE',STYLE=NORMAL,

TYPE=HEADING, LINE=4,ITEM=1,POSITION=1,$
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=5,ITEM=1,POSITION=1,$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN

I'v tried to put NOSPLIT option on each settings header, subhead, ... but definitely the subhead is written on one page and the data are displayed on th e next page ... damned

My other problem is to repeat the header of a pdf file on each page. Below is the code I wrote. I tried to set the pagelayout to ALL but it has no effect.

-INCLUDE prod_struct_r0
-RUN
SET HTMLARCHIVE=ON

Could you please help me to solve these issues.

Thx a lot

Any idea ?

If you run the last report by itself does it Split? I think the reason you have not had anyone answer this is because the Compound code generated for this is so new to us... ...we are used to doing the Compound reports hand coded the old fashioned way.

Hi Prarie,

If i run the report it doesn't split cause the output fit n one page ;-)

I know that the code generated by the compound reports is awful. A senior developer of Webfocus told me to use old fashioned way use your brain and hand to code it yourself. That's what I done .. the only thing I had from the pervious version of WF is using the OVEFLOW and RELATIVE-TO settings allowed in 7.6.2. In fact I think that my issue (the first one) is also available on former version.

In fact I tried to force the no split on a entire report (header,subhead, print) called in a compound when thhe previous compound take to much place in the page.

Help .... I need somebody's help ...

Ludo,

In the PDF Layout Painter, what happens if you insert a new page layout and put the splitting report on that page layout?

Since we can't reproduce your problem easily because we don't have your data, it might be better if you open a case with IBI.
