I want to add some text my report that it will print only in

1. I take a text item and set property in advanced layout print object on= first page.
2. I try with formating trigger. but when I use it my report crash. May be I don't know how to use it.

Please inform me how to do it. Please notify me ASAP.

Option 2: right, perhaps you don't know how to use it. Unfortunately, we can't tell as you didn't post what you did.

Should be like this:

-- text item format trigger
  l_page_num number;
begin
  srw.get_page_num(l_page_num);

  return (l_page_num = 1);
end;

In other words: display it (return TRUE) if page number is equal to 1 (first page).

Littefoot has just told you.
Use a format trigger with his code.

It *should not* crash. Operating system? Is Developer + OS combination certified? Did you try to reinstall Developer Suite? Could you try the same report (actually, technique) on another computer? If so, how does it behave?

Hi,

I tryed with 4/5 reports. My all reports is working fine.
My question was How I use return value from formatiing trigger.
What I did, I add a text item then I enter some text on it.
After that I open proprty palet in Advanced layout section I double click on format trigger and add following code

function B_12FormatTrigger return boolean is
vnum NUMBER;
begin

srw.get_page_num(vnum);
IF vnum =1 then
return (TRUE);
else
return (false);
end if;
end;

After that report is crash/ job is not submitted. Again If I remove this format trigger then it works fine. I am using Oracle Forms & Reports 10g and database also 10g in Windows Os.
I think problem is my process. Please inform me.

Thanks
Biswajit

Try to "compile all" (Ctrl + Shift + K).

Does it mean that you didn't <Ctrl + Shift + K>?

Quote:

     ...
    return (false);
  end if;
end;
After that report is crash / job is not submitted.

What does "after that" mean? You typed "end;" - then what?

As a workaround, try to simulate your own page numbering - create a package, declare a variable and set it to 0 (zero). Increase that number in Between Pages trigger. Instead of SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM, check package variable's value in item's Format Trigger.

Format trigger returns Boolean, and you use it in order to display certain report object (when TRUE has been returned) or not (FALSE). I guess you'll have to create your own formula columns if you want to "return" result of some computation.

P.S. Forgot to ask: what about three (3) parts of my previous message? You didn't respond to any of them. What a great communication!

I don't quite get what a frame has to do with a format trigger (written in a way we discussed) and why would that cause report to crash. Furthermore, text can belong to any frame - it might not print as you'd want it to, but certainly wouldn't cause report to break.

Anyway, I guess it doesn't really matter now as you seem to be happy with the solution.
