Hi,
I using Baan IVc4.
I want to make print session which has a sequence number like special field "Number of Record", it works for plain report, but it's fail when I use like a grouping i.e:
Group I
1 item a
2 item b
3 item c

Group II
1 item d
2 item e
3 item f

Could you advise me how to make sequence number 1,2,3 on each group?

Second thing, I'm trying to use the "Double Wide" font on report layout but it didn't work. I am using HP laserjet printer and want to print a bigger font for the report header. Kindly advise.

Thanks in advance.

Do you want to create the sequence number in the program script or in the report? I'll assume the report.

I would create a variable in the report script (as a long). Set it to 0 in the before.groupfield layout's before.layout subsection if lattr.break = true (so it doesn't imporperly reset at the start of a page), and increment it in the before.layout subsection of the detail layout.

Hi,
It still showing 1 only, seems the increment doesn't work. The report showing only number 1.
Here is the script:

declaration:
extern domain tcamta no

before.tiitm001.kitm.1: | tiitm001.kitm is group field
before.layout:
if lattr.break then
no = 0
endif

detail.1:
before.layout:
no = no + 1

Hi Yenry,
the reason is, that you have to zero the variable in the group header:
after.<group>:
after.layout:
no=0

For the second thing - different fonts in report, you have to set 'fixed device font' in Maintain Reports Page two, and than you can give every Layout or every Field a specific font.

I hope this helps you

Best Regards

Thanks Daniel,
But still didn't work out. The problem is not to reset the counter on group level, the problem is my counter does not work.
I want sequence number on "detail.1:" but seem the statement "no = no + 1" under "before.layout:" does not work properly. It works only once, so it show 1 only. Can not increment.

Kindly advise.

Hi,
I think it will be zeroed everytime, before adding 1!!!!!
So the addition really works, but begins every time at 0!!
Don't you agree?

Best Regards

Hi,
I got your point, it zeroed everytime, so i change my script to:

declaration:
extern domain tcamta no

detail.1:
before.layout:
no = no + 1

no zero anymore. But how come it still not working. Showing only 1 all the time. When i change no = no + 5, just for test, it show only 5, so seems the script only read once.
Kindly advise.

That is strange.
Are there other detail-layouts?
Is there no statement like no=0?
Is there a statement in the print expression of detail.1 - Layout?

Best Regards
Daniel :)

There are no other detail layout, only detail.1:
no statement like "no=0"
I use print expression "1" on -layout , means always print, isn't it?
That's the default.

Just a thought.....

Do you have your variable defined as an input field? If so Baan will zero out with each detail record.
