Hi Mimmo,

Can you post the code you are using to set the colspan in onprepare?

Thanks,
David

Hi David,
the problem isn't code, in fact if i put a number work fine, but if i get a variable in my onprepare event of a table they return null, seems that the onprepare event of a table is called before onFetch of my query.
Is correct or not?

Onprepare is called for all items before data sets are executed. See
http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/reportScripting.php for the order. I am attaching an example that shows how to set the column span in the beforeFactory and the onCreate. Look at the script node in the outline view to locate the scripts.
