I don't have too much experience with Oracle Reports, but, as it goes, have to build a report that is giving me headaches

My main problem is:
How can I place a field in a report that is repeating horizontically? Like a name list, where each name of course is a separate record, but all of the names hould be printed in one line,

i.e., a table with 3 records "A", "B" und "C" should deliver this result

" A | B | C "

and not this

A
B
C

On linebreak, the report should start over again in the next line, continuing printing names.

Additionally, the width of the repeating field has to be dynamic (controlled by a value stored to each name), like this:

Records (sample; 3 fields):
Field1--Field2----Field3 (cm)
I-------AAA-------2
I-------BBB-------4
II------CCC-------1
II------DDD-------1
II------EEE-------1
II------FFF-------1
III-----GGG-------2
III-----HHH-------3

I have enclosed a sample jpeg as how the report should print.

In the repeating frame, there is a property called "Print Direction". by default this setting is set to "Down". Try setting it to "accros/down" and it should print the record horizontally

hope this help
