I am creating a compound Active Report. I have various fex's that I am embedding. When run as an Active report, I get a 'dummy report' created that appears in the upper left corner of the report. Is there a way to hide this?

I've manually edited the code to move it to a lower location but it then just seems to be randomly located in the report. When left in the upper left it interferes with some of the functionality of the Active menus.

I have to manually edit the code (Text view). Not very practical. Looking for a system setting.

Hi Ron,

While we wait to see if other members reply can you answer a few questions to better understand your issue?

When you say an empty report - is it suppose to be in the compound report - it just happens to be empty - 0 records? If it is 0 records what do you want to do? You could SET EMPTYREPORT=ON and then a report will appear with the column titles.

Confirm version WF7.6 .x ?

Here is the link to the Active Technologies Manual

Possibly the manual will assist you with your compound report. Search on Compound and several items appear.

Thank you for participating in the Forum. Keep us updated on your progress.

I'm using IA 8008

Here is an example using car (I removed all the internal IA code)...

Here is the report I create.

 TABLE FILE CAR
BY CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
BY CAR.COMP.CAR
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET SQUEEZE ON
ON TABLE SET EMPTYREPORT ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLENCODE ON
ON TABLE SET CACHELINES 100
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE=IBFS:/FILE/IBI_HTML_DIR/javaassist/intl/EN/combine_templates/A_clean.sty,$
TYPE=REPORT, TITLETEXT=&WF_TITLE.QUOTEDSTRING, SUMMARY=&WF_SUMMARY.QUOTEDSTRING, $
ENDSTYLE
END
 

I then 'Insert Existing Report' in a document, again using IA

ENGINE INT CACHE SET ON
SET PAGE-NUM=NOLEAD
SET EMPTYREPORT=ON


COMPOUND LAYOUT PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
SECTION=Section_1, LAYOUT=ON, PAGESIZE=Letter, ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT, SHOW_GLOBALFILTER=OFF, ACTIVE_UNITS=PTS, PAGECOLOR=RGB(255 255 255), $
PAGELAYOUT=1, NAME='Page 1', TEXT='Page 1', LEFTMARGIN=0.25, RIGHTMARGIN=0.25, TOPMARGIN=0.25, BOTTOMMARGIN=0.25, $
COMPONENT=IncludeTable_1, COMPONENT-TYPE=REPORT, POSITION=(1.041666 1.041666), DIMENSION=(* *), $
COMPONENT=dummyReportName1, TYPE=REPORT, POSITION=(0 0), DIMENSION=(0 0), $
END

SET COMPONENT=IncludeTable_1
-*component_type include

-INCLUDE IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Ron/CarReport.fex
END
SET COMPONENT=dummyReportName1
TABLE FILE SYSCOLUM
" "
SUM TBNAME NOPRINT
IF READLIMIT EQ 1
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET EMPTYREPORT ON
ON TABLE SET PREVIEW 10
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
END
COMPOUND END
  

This is the result (right-click 'view image' should work if you can't see it)

Ron,

I believe I've had the same issue in 8.008. Please see the entry titled "Inserting existing chart into an active dashboard page" in this forum. Thanks

The link helped. I was able to hide the dummy report through the text editor:

COMPONENT=dummyReportName1, TYPE=REPORT, POSITION=(0 0), DIMENSION=(0 0), HIDDEN=ON, $
