Hello:
I have a letter report where I would like the page number to show starting on page 2 and beyond, but not to print on page 1. I have used the field Page Number, and within the property inspector, in Page Numbering, I have it set to Reset at one of my repeating frames. This is not a true page numbering system, where a report has pages 1 thru 20, for example. These reports print letters, and within the report parameters selected, there could be more than one letter within the report output. Within each letter, the page number should not print for the first page, but for each successive page after. When a new letter starts, within this same report run, the page number should not print for the first page, but for each successive page after. How can I do this? I tried setting the format trigger to not print page 1, but it will not recognize PageNumber as a variable.
thanks

let say for example...
If i read you problem properly....
define one place holder to hold the values from 1 to... .(start with 1 increase the values +1)
and place it on a repeating frame. so that it will repeate for each group right?
i.e.for each letter you will get the numbers then write a trigger to hide the value when ever it is "1".
so for another letter(say like another group) it will start from 1 again...
.....
BY the way What/which kind of report you are using?

That was my idea too.
Hint: page number should be retrieved with SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM (check the documentation or this topic for example.
Though, I'm not sure what will SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM get. Will it be smart enough and "know" that you have modified default page numbering (and, above all, the way it is reset)?
If it is intelligent, then format trigger in a form of
l_page_num number;
begin
srw.get_page_num (l_page_num);
return (l_page_num <> 1);
end; |
