Hi All,

I have a report which will be used for bursting using report caster.I have coded my header logic in SUBHEAD (not in HEADING) in order to print it only one time per report (even for multiple pages, only once the header appear), Now if I run this report without bursting it is doing well(sending the report with single header) ; but if burst check box is checked, and sent emails , the recepients are receiving the report with out headers.
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
-*HEADING
-*heading was moved to ON TABLE SUBHEAD to make it print only once for the report
-*and the style type is TABHEADING not HEADING.
PRINT
&PRINTCLAUSE
COMPUTE CTR/I1 = IF LAST CTR NE 1 OR 2 THEN 1 ELSE IF LAST CTR EQ 1 THEN 2 ELSE IF LAST CTR EQ 2 THEN 1 ELSE 3; NOPRINT
&BYVAL.EVAL
ON TABLE SUBHEAD
" "
"
ON TABLE SUBHEAD
" "
" Run date: <+0>&DATEtrMDYY <+0>"
"&VNAME"
" "
"&VDESC"
" "

Any idea , why?
Regards,
Johney.

prints a report header only once, burst or no burst.

You should create your header on the field you're bursting with:

ON burst-field SUBHEAD
"sub-heading"

As Francis says, your code is doing it. This is one of those 'Have your cake and eat it to' situations. Perhaps you could do a SUBHEAD on the Burst value to get a heading once per report.

BY BURSTVALUE
ON BURSTVALUE SUBHEAD
"THIS IS MY REPORT"

And if I'd read Francis' whole post I would have concurred not retyped. Red Face

Hi Francis / Leah,

Thanks a lot!!!

It worked for me but there are some small issues.My column titles are coming first and then only my header(SUBHEAD) appers now.I want the header first then titles(in every page).

Secondly , what is the style type of the subhead now?.Earlier it was TABHEADING when I used ON TABLE SUBHEAD.

Thanks and regards,
Johney.

Johney,

That's what a SUBHEAD on a BY field does, it places the sub heading after the column titles, unlike how it performs when issued by ON TABLE SUBHEAD.

When you are bursting you would probably want to have a HEADING with ON byfieldname PAGE-BREAK together with SET LINES = 9999. Of course, this might not be what you require when the report is run either as a self service app or through MRE/BID.

Johney,

Here is something built with the CAR file, bursting on COUNTRY.
  
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT SALES 
COMPUTE DCOUNTRY/A10=IF COUNTRY EQ LAST COUNTRY THEN ' ' ELSE COUNTRY; NOPRINT
COMPUTE RDATE/MtrDYY=IF COUNTRY EQ LAST COUNTRY THEN ' ' ELSE '&MDYY'; NOPRINT 
COMPUTE DCTITLE/A10=IF COUNTRY EQ LAST COUNTRY THEN ' ' ELSE 'Country:'; NOPRINT
COMPUTE RDTITLE/A10=IF COUNTRY EQ LAST COUNTRY THEN ' ' ELSE 'Run date:'; NOPRINT 
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT REPAGE
BY CAR 
BY BODYTYPE
ON CAR PAGE-BREAK 
HEADING
"<RDTITLE <RDATE>"
"<DCTITLE <DCOUNTRY "
END

Hope it helps.
