[SOLVED] Suppress/Collapse empty detail records?

Is it possible to suppress (ie, collapse) blank detail records and only display the subheaders? I have a report that displays summary information for companies and if there are any comments for that company (ie, the detail records) then I need to show those (there could be several comments by date for each company...hence, these are the detail recs). I actually have this working fine, but for the cases where there are no comments, I'm getting a blank line which I'd like to collapse so that each successive subhead line shows right above the next one.

If you are going to html then you can use CSS to deliver the sort of thing you want

in your .css stylesheet have something like

.NS {display:none}

and use it like this

 
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
 SALES
COMPUTE HIDE/A1=IF SALES EQ 0 THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N'; NOPRINT
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
ON COUNTRY SUBHEAD
"<COUNTRY"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, CSSURL=http://localhost:9090/approot/ibisamp/s1.css,$
 TYPE=DATA, CLASS=NS, WHEN=HIDE EQ 'Y', $ 
ENDSTYLE
END

hmmm, i'll give that a shot. i wouldn't think it work b/c the data is returned in TD elements, and I'm not sure how display:none will work on TD. I'll update witht the results...


Thanks.

Mark,

It's down to using CSS. JG is assigning a CSS class to the TDs and that is what will control the display attribute.

A working example of what JG describes:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
 SALES
COMPUTE HIDE/A1=IF SALES EQ 0 THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N'; NOPRINT
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
ON COUNTRY SUBHEAD
"<COUNTRY"
ON TABLE HOLD AS H001 FORMAT HTMTABLE
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, CLASS=NS, WHEN=HIDE EQ 'Y', $ 
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<style>
.NS { display:none; }
</style>
!IBI.FIL.H001.HTM;
-HTMLFORM END

Yep, works beautifully. Now, can something similar be done in PDF, since CSS won't apply?


Thanks.

For PDF you could change the font size to 1 and colour to white:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
 SALES
COMPUTE HIDE/A1=IF SALES EQ 0 THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N'; NOPRINT
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
ON COUNTRY SUBHEAD
"<COUNTRY"
ON TABLE PCHOLD AS H001 FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, SIZE=1, COLOR=WHITE, WHEN=HIDE EQ 'Y', $ 
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
