Hallo Trevor,

I have made the report of several columns.
There are two type of lines
data lines and empty data lines.
Columns are separated with v.lines.

On the GlobalPage I have
empty section and section comprising Datatexts (1 line of course)
DataTexts are separated with v.lines (sectors of v.lines)

All is working OK

but in the report the v.lines are drawn continously from top to down
in spite of that empty sections have no v.lines
Is there any remedy?
I want to draw v.lines only in data lines

regards
czeslaw

Hello czeslaw,

I believe that what you have described should work. My only thoughts at
this stage are:

What do you mean by an "empty data line"?
Do you have some indicator to show that this line is "blank"?
Is your Data Mirror set up correctly? e.g. you are checking for 0 but should
be checking for 0.00 (or visa-versa), etcIs the blank section *really* being
printed, or is something else happening?

HTH

Hallo Trevor,
I try to be more precise but 'diffuse'
Report
I have made the report of several columns. The first column is the
description one. the next are data columns.
Some line of description have no data in the data columns.- headlines=
'empty data lines'.
So there are two type of lines
'data lines' and 'empty lines' which have text in the
first column, only. (Headline)
Columns are separated with v.lines.

Designer
On the GlobalPage I have
'empty section' (nothing inside, no v.lines) - only for the first
column section with text is used
for the next columns 'empty section' (blanc section, no v.lines) are
used
and
'data section' comprising several Datatexts (1 line) DataTexts in the
section are separated with v.lines (sectors of v.lines)

I pass parameters to choose what type of section should be 'conected' with
the mirror section on databand.
There are two mirror sections in the data band, one for description
column second one for data columns.

So types of lines of programmed report are :
text; v. line; data; v.line; data; v.line;......
or. text; .....

In my printed report the v.lines are drawn continously from the top to the
down. But there are no data in the 'empty data lines' = headlines where
'empty sections' ware used

Types of lines of the real report are:
text; v. line; data; v.line; data; v.line;...
or. text; v.line; v.line; v.line;...

All is working and looking OK as I want to but I do not thing in
accordace with my program.

I can not guess a reason or error. Is there any remedy?
I want v.lines only where 'data sections' are used

Best regards

Hello czeslaw,

My huess is that you report is not turning on/off during the execution of
the report, but the question is why?

Some further questions
Do I assume that you are using a DataMirror to determine which one of the "2
mirror sections" to print? If you are using the DataMirror, do I assume
that it is looking at the parameter that you are passing in, or do you use
this parameter in a different manner?

When/How are you passing in the parameters? If you are generating the
report using the RAVE designer, I would assume that you are setting this
parameter at the beginning of the report.....if this is the case, then your
parameter will never be changing once it is set.

Thank you, that will do.
Next time I must try with code based methode.
