Hi ALL,

Currently when we generate the report, every photo take a whole line, it just like data records display line by line,that will waste many papers to print.
We want to arrange our photo layout to 4 photos a line, each photo wrapped with some information, such as name or ID.



Existing code like below, master file is 'STUDENT_RECORD', we print ID, photo name, i.e. XXXXX.jpg, and person name, and printing by Class groups.

TABLE FILE STUDENT_RECORD
PINRT ID
PHOTO
NAME
BY CLASS
END

Can help to advise how to achieve the purpose of 4 photos a line? thanks.

Regards

perhaps you can make a 1 to 4 counter for each record and use it as across value?

like dave says, something like this
TABLE FILE STUDENT
PRINT ID PHOTO BY CLASS BY NAME
AND COMPUTE COLUMN/I1 = IF CLASS NE LAST CLASS THEN 1 ELSE IF LAST COLUMN EQ 4 THEN 1 ELSE 1 + LAST COLUMN;
AND COMPUTE ROW/I4 = IF COLUMN EQ 1 THEN 1 + LAST ROW ELSE LAST ROW;
ON TABLE HOLD
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE STUDENT
SUM ID PHOTO NAME ACROSS COLUMN
BY CLASS BY ROW
END

Wasn't there something that would output the report in a grid layout ?

Just can't remember the command.

I think it was PAGEMATRIX

Waz,

that's PDF / PS only.

Yes, you are right.

Must have been thinking of something else.
