Hello,

I have a pdf report with a across value = 12 months + row total.
On the first page, I can print from january to june and data for july to december are printed on the second page.
I want to repeat the sort values on the second page but It doesn't work.
How can I do that ?

Thanks for help.
Catherine

I'm not sure if there is a SET command to this, but what I should do is split the year into two half year's and use that as a by field.

DEFINE FILE XXX
HYEAR/I2=IF MONTH LE 6 THEN 1 ELSE 2;
(supposed the month is a number from 1-12)
END
TABLE FILE XXX
SUM SALES
BY HYEAR NOPRINT PAGE-BREAK
BY PRODTYPE
ACROSS MONTH
END

Or something like this...

It's maybe not exactly what you want, if you have in the first half year not all the products you can have less lines than in the second half year.
If you need a row-total, the result is also not what you want.

The other solution might be defining all months as unique fields

DEFINE FILE XXX
JAN/D12=IF MONTH EQ 1 THEN SALES ELSE 0;
FEB/D12=IF MONTH EQ 2 THEN SALES ELSE 0;
...
DEC/D12=IF MONTH EQ 12 THEN SALES ELSE 0;
(supposed the month is a number from 1-12)
END
TABLE FILE XXX
SUM JAN FEB MAR ...JUN PRODTYPE JUL ...DEC
BY PRODTYPE
END

Now you get the prodtype on the left and in the middle.
You have to play with the column with to get the second half of the year on an other page.

There must be a smarter solution.

Thanks Frank, I vill try.

Cati,

Look at the BYPANEL setting in the Developing Reporting Applications manual. This might be what you are looking for.

Cati,

Run the following code for an example:

TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE
SUM SALARY ACROSS HIRE_DATE
BY DEPARTMENT
ON TABLE SET BYPANEL ON
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
END
