Hi,

I need to create a PDF report, the report has 2 nested tables -> A and B.

Table A is outer table with table header and a grid to hold data for table A. Inside detail, I need to add a inner table B to display data set.

The table A header only need show one time. So, I unchecked the "repeat header " box. The problem is : once I uncheck the "repeat header " box, if the table B has more records back ( > 16 records), the table B go to next page display data. The first page only see the table A (outer table ) header. How I can control the nested table, let the innert table show data below the outer table header even the table B ( inner table ) has more records back?

I created a simple report using the BIRT simple database to show the problem. ( In my real report, table A and table B linked together. For this simple, the 2 tables are not linked. I just want to create the report with more data sets in inner table )

Here is the code:

I'm going to paraphrase your description as i don't have bandwidth to test the report:

Outer Table A has a header row with "repeat header" unchecked.
When Inner Table B has more than 16 records, its contents force a page break and don't start until Page 2, so Page 1 shows Table A header only and Page 2 shows Table B contents.

It sounds like somewhere in your Inner Table B, either at the table level or the group level, you have page break inner set to Avoid. (This could also be coming from the row in Outer Table A where you have embedded Inner Table B). Change that break setting from Avoid to Auto and you might resolve your issue.

Richard,

I checked my code, no any place I set the page break as Avoid.

I search XML code and back to layout view, check each table, grid and row.

Any other suggestion?


Thanks!

Amy

The report as posted above is incomplete.
Please email me a copy direct at rpolunsky@yahoo.com and I'll look at it.

First, you have not put any kind of filter or binding linking the inner table to the outer table. therefore, every single row in your outer table is going to show ALL of the data from your inner table query. I suspect what you intended was to link the two, where inner table customer number = outer table customer number.

That said, I can replicate the behavior when I select PDF as the output format, and in the web viewer (which takes forever to render) it doesn't paginate at all. It would appear that the PDF emitter attempts to keep the innermost detail row together regardless of size or pagination settings. I would recommend you follow that up by reporting a bug. When you do so, please remove the top two lines from your table header as they are irrelevant to the report issue.

By the way, I can think of a couple of ways to work around this issue if you actually have multiple rows in the detail section, but I really think your intent was to show only the inner row related to the outer record.

Richard,

I didn't linked the outer table and inner table together in the simple report because I need create the case that inner table has more records back using the birt simple DB .


Only in that case, with unchecked "repeat header", the problem happened.


In my production report, I did linked the outer table and inner table. 80% reports work fine. Only some reports , when the inner table has more records (up to 100 records back), I see the problem.

If you think it is a bug, how I can report the bug? Where?

Thanks!

Bugzilla is located at:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/index.cgi

I think you'll need to set up a separate login there, and you want to simpllify your rptdesign file as much as possible, i.e. delete those two header lines. You may want to copy my description of the issue.

Good luck. If you want, I can look into the workaround I was thinking of and see if it actually works.
