[SOLVED] nosplit and webfocus 765

I have a report that has been running on webfocus 533 for years. It has a nosplit.

BY ACCOUNTID NOPRINT NOSPLIT SKIP-LINE
ON ACCOUNTID SUBHEAD
"Account Number <12 "Account Name <12 "Admin Name <12 "Senior Admin <12 "Branch <12 "AU <12 " "
"Invoice <12 Invoice <30 Charge <43 Charge <60 Recovery <77 Recovery"
"Number <12 Date <28 Off Amount <43 Off Date <60 Amount <77 Date "

ON ACCOUNTID SUBFOOT
"" "

We are converting to 765 and not making any changes to the reports (just testing to see they are the same). I've noticed that the subhead is a small amount lower (not a full line) in 765 than 533 and that footers are also spaced a little bit different. I'm thinking this is what is causing my problem (but I'm not sure). What I'm finding is nosplit is not working in 765. It's causing 1 line to appear on the next page after 4 pages of the report (so the first couple of pages are good). I have set printplus = on, but when I remove it, the first page already appears incorrectly with the nosplit and has the footer for the accountid appearing on the next page. Has anyone else run into this with 765?

I searched the forum for issues on nosplit and couldn't find anyone else reporting this issue.

If no one else has had this problem, I'll open a case with IBI.

I also tried removing the skip-line but that didn't help either. The nosplit still isn't working properly.

Thanks.

I didn't look this up but have you tried SET PRINTPLUS=ON. It cures a variety of maladies.

yes, I had set printplus = on already set. When I have it in the code, the problem appears on page 4 to 5. I tried removing it and it made it worse and the problem started happening on page 1.

Note: the report output is pdf.

Hi Pam,

The changes "may' have to do with the STYLE options, you do/don't have. May want to play around with those...

thanks for the suggestion. This did work by removnig the underline for the subhead. Unfortunately, I don't think the business will like the option.

I tried multiple things (just in case others look at this in future I'm documenting).
1. changing the font to be the same font throughout the report. Didn't work.
2. removed bold from stylesheet (because that makes letters slightly bigger). didn't work.
3. removed all of the formatting/positioning in the stylesheet. It worked, but the report looks horrible.
4. put back only the underline underneath the subheadings and the problem is back (so I have no other formatting). So, it appears to me the underline isn't being accounted for.
5. I then put back all other formatting but kept the underline out for the subheadings and it works.

Thanks again for the suggestion.

Pam,

You should post you code within code tags because otherwise it breaks when you have anything that the browser thinks is HTML such as <

 
BY ACCOUNTID NOPRINT NOSPLIT SKIP-LINE
ON ACCOUNTID SUBHEAD
"Account Number <12 <ACCOUNTID"
"Account Name <12 <ACCOUNTNAME"
"Admin Name <12 <EMPLOYEENAME"
"Senior Admin <12 <SRANAME"
"Branch <12 <SUBDIVID"
"AU <12 <ACCTPROFITCNTR"
" "
"Invoice <12 Invoice <30 Charge <43 Charge <60 Recovery <77 Recovery"
"Number <12 Date <28 Off Amount <43 Off Date <60 Amount <77 Date "

ON ACCOUNTID SUBFOOT
"<LINE"
