Is it possible to make Page Header and Page Footer appear only from the 2nd page(Invisible on 1st page)?

Thanks.

See if this gives you some ideas post

Awesome !

You gave me link to a great post. Thanks Prarie !

I used

 
COMPUTE CONDITIONALHEADER/A80 = IF TABPAGENO EQ 1 THEN '' ELSE 'Cumulative Collection Rate Summary<+0> <+0>&PRINTEDDATE'; NOPRINT
HEADING "<CONDITIONALHEADER"

 

shravan,

Not only did Prarie give you a great link, she also implied a reminder that there is a "search" function (well several actually) that you could have used yourself. I know some folks find it hard to determine on what they should search, but then that's the same when they search in Google so practice makes perfect!

Also, please update your signature as per the link on the front page of this forum, thank you.

On a brighter note, thankyou for posting what you found to be a solution for you, it should help others find out when they search for a solution on "no page header" Mind you, they would have to search for it though .

Shravan,

It could also be a good idea if you posted WHY you need this feature, as something more to search for in the future or as a hint for different solutions.

Tony,

Sorry, I did not mention in my first post that I already searched for it. I agree that I did not use appropriate key words in the search.


Daniel,

In the first page of the report I have a "Report Heading" with bright colors, which has things like " Report Name, Printed Date, Requested By,etc.". From 2nd page onwards I need to display the same things(not in bright colors though )on top of the page. For that to happen, I need to put them in page Heading too. If I put them in Report Heading and also in Page heading, it will be displayed twice in the first page. So, I don't want the Page Heading to be displayed in the first page.

Shravan,

I see. And you don't want to have your "report heading" on a separate page using:
ON TABLE PAGE-BREAK AND SUBHEAD

Daniel,

I did not understand what you meant by separate page.

The report heading is generated with the command:
ON TABLE SUBHEAD
It then appears on the top of first page of your report.
If instead you use
ON TABLE PAGE-BREAK AND SUBHEAD
then it will appear by itself on the first page. The report will then start on the second page.

Ooooooooooo ! Cool ! Thanks. No. You were right. That's not what I needed.

There is a parameter called TABPAGENO that will tell you when you are on the first page. If you make use of this in a COMPUTE field, you can proably get what you want. Here's an example:

-* File car.fex
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
COMPUTE HEADING2/A20=IF TABPAGENO EQ 1 THEN '' ELSE 'THIS IS THE HEADING'; NOPRINT
BY COUNTRY PAGE-BREAK
HEADING
"1234567890"
"<HEADING2 "
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     UNITS=IN,
     SQUEEZE=ON,
     ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
     GRID=OFF,
     FONT='ARIAL',
     SIZE=10,
     COLOR='BLACK',
     BACKCOLOR='NONE',
     STYLE=NORMAL,
$
TYPE=HEADING, BACKCOLOR=RED,
     FONT='ARIAL',
$
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=2, BACKCOLOR=WHITE, WHEN= TABPAGENO EQ 1,$
ENDSTYLE
END

Darin,

Thanks. I did the same. I posted what I did above (3rd from top).

Regards,

Shravan

I got into the (bad) habit of starting at the bottom and reading backwards. And I didn't get to the top before posting. Good job on getting a solution.

Glad you posted your solution. Failing to mention you attempted search but could not find is certainly better in my mind than not having searched at all - as all of us here have witenssed all too often. Perhaps a "why don't you 'search xxx' - b/c this issue has been already addressed " might lead the indivdual to their target. Comments? This is just a suggestion...

I think this is a good New Feature Request to submit. The SUBHEAD and SUBFOOT have the WHEN expression the make their display conditional. It would be great to be able to specify multiple HEADINGs or FOOTINGs with WHEN conditions to handle something like this.

Any thoughts?

I am trying to acheive the same results but via a -INCLUDE since ALL my reports need this functionality. However, if I do a -INCLUDE I have problems since that would mean I need to -INCLUDE the compute and -INCLUDE the line of heading I want to conditionalize - but that would mean I would always have to have the compute as the last line of the print area, then always immediately follow it with 'HEADING' and then my conditionalized heading. Any ideas of how to achieve what I'm doing without locking myself into the above scenario?

break it up and use two -INCLUDEs

Agreed! I was just wondering if there's a way to do it all at once as multiple people would need to use this and it's easier to "package it all up" and give them an include then have it broken up.
