Hello all,
Can anybody tell me, How can I get Total Number Pages in report?
I have used srw.get_page_num in format trigger.
But for that function User must have to go last page. So I want to know last page number without going to last page.
Plese Help me
Thanks

As far as I know, you can't do that unless you reach the last page. It means that report doesn't know total number of pages until it is completely formatted which, actually, means that it must get to its last page.

I've seen quite a few questions like yours but no satisfactory answer so far. Sorry.

go to your layout report
1- create field
2-open property of that field and change the source to(total pages)
3-run your report it will show you the total number of that report on the first page

Hisham99,

your suggestion works fine - as far as displaying a total number of pages is concerned. You don't even have to create a field - it can be done by specifying it using the ampersand (&) character in the Paper Layout Editor as

&totalpages

However, the problem is how to find that number in Data Model layout ... people would usually want to perform certain calculations based on "total number of pages", such as storing it into a table (as @shekhar.salunkhe would like to) or

if current_page_number = total_number_of_pages then
   do_something;
end if;

Do you know how to do that?

Yes Sir,
Actually I want that total number of pages store into a table.
And by using that number, I have to calculate charges per page but without going to last page of report. (I mean User need not go to last page)

Please Help me...

if you want to store only the last page number then
make some change in insert_page procedure as below

PROCEDURE insert_pages( p_page in number) is

begin
update scott.code
set page_num =p_page;

if sql%rowcount=0 then
insert into scott.code(page_num)
values
(p_page);
end if;
commit;
end;
