Print After Given Number of Occurances?

[Therber]

I'm having a problem getting a subsummary part to print after the body portion of a report. The body of the report has been set to page break after a given number of occurances (14 lines only, so it fits on the page OK). But the subsummary then prints on the next page. Is these a way to lock the subsummary part so that it will always print at the same location on my report.

Thank You!

create a calculation field (for example #break_after_14 with the calculation:

Int((Status(CurrentRecordNumber)-1)/14)

Be sure to set it to UNSTORED.

Set the (trailing) subsummary to sort on the field #break_after_14

Disable in the BODY part-section the 'page break after ?? occurence

ENABLE in the SUBSUMMARY part-section the pagebreak after each 1 occurence.

This will do what you want.

The calculation field mentioned has the value 0 as long as the 15th record is not printed. After the 14th record the value changes to 1, after the 28th record to 2 etcetera. The change of this value makes the page-break.

Tip: when you assign the value 14 to a developer-changeable global, you (or the user) has easy control on the number of items printed on one page.
