Adjusting the Report Band 2

itflash · Oct 15, 2001

Hi

I have a report that prints out one line of detail from a cursor.

However, I want to include another line that will be one single line of text.

BUT

I only want that extra line to appear if the text line is not blank. Therefore, the report band height will adjust according to whether this line is printed or not.

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Hi,

I wasn't sure if your question was how to print the extra line or how to adjust the band width, however...

To print something conditionally like this, you need to add the line to the report as a label object. Then right click on the label, click on Properties, click Print When button.

At the bottom you have a check box for entering an expression to determine when to print the extra line. In this instance I would have thought if you said NOT EMPTY(CursorText) then you would get what you are looking for.

Hope that helps,

Stewart

Hi

Expand the width of the details band of the report writer,
Put the text field as you would do for other field items.
Now double click on this Text Box created. Report expression box opens up. Now click on the 'PRINT WHEN' button. Click on 'Remove link if blank'. Click OK all along and save it. REMEMBER TO HAVE THE REPORT EXPRESSION AS ALLTRIM(myTextField) so that you dont have enpty spaces reported.. as empty spaces is not BLANK.
