I'm a newbie to BaanLN and 4gl. I have a report with a header line in which the last two headers on the header line are not showing when I run the job. The detail data is but not the last two headers.

I am attaching a word doc with screen shots of the header layout plus the definition of the two label fields Margin and Margin Pct.

The width of the the report is set at 255. I have several more columns to add to this report. Is there anyway to get this report wider and print landscape on legal size paper?


Thanks,

R

Hi,

There can be two reasons for that. Either you have not set the width of the report in report properties or have not compiled the report after changing the width.

Double click on the report an check the Page Width under Specials Tab. Check the screen shot. For reports having more than 255 characters you will have several ways.

1. Create a delimited i.e. comma, | separated text/ascii file and put your data into it using seq.* functions. Transfer the file to client machine using client2server() and open it up using start.application.local() function.

2. Create your own print device to manipulate the data coming from Baan report.

3. Use external reporting systems like SSRS etc.

There are a lot of threads on the board giving numerous example of how to do all the above listed ways.
