[RBASE-L] - RE: Reports, conditional newpage

[Dennis McGrath]

Thanks, Razzak,

That is exactly what I need.

This one report will dynamically replace more than 10 reports from RBWIN 6.5

Having fun,
Dennis

Syntax:

PROPERTY <ReportBandComponentID> <SpecificBandProperty> 'value'

Here's how:

01. Start R:BASE eXtreme 9.1 (Build: 9.1.2.10214 or higher ...)

02. CONNECT dbname IDENTIFIED BY owner password

03. REPORT reportname

04. While in Report Designer ...

     Right-click on Report Footer Band

     Select "Component ID" and then type "ReportFooterBand"

05. Use the following syntax as "Before Generate ..." action.

     Main Menu | Report | Actions | Before Generate ...

     -- Report Footer Band as a new page
      PROPERTY ReportFooterBand NewPage 'TRUE'
      RETURN

06. You could also use the same code a dynamic value, such as:

     -- Report Footer Band as a separate page
     IF (CHKVAR('vValue')) <> 1 THEN
        PROPERTY ReportFooterBand NewPage 'FALSE'
     ELSE
        PROPERTY ReportFooterBand NewPage .vValue
     ENDIF
     RETURN

     WHERE vValue is pre-defined as a global variable, prior
     to PRINTing such report.

     If 'TRUE', the Report Footer Band will be printed as NewPage.

That's all there is to it!

Have fun taking advantage of all coooooooool developer's tools
in R:BASE eXtreme 9.1 (32/64).

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak.
