nested reports in nested report
Hi, I have a report with a nested dw in a nested dw. I would like to change som properties of both datawindows/reports (width and moving som columns - it's a grid report) But how do I reference the nested report. I cant use GetChild (fails as it is not a Composite). I have managed to get the to the first report and change the width of i with the syntax dwobject dwo_1 dwo_1 = dw_report.Object.dw_1 dwo_1.width = 3000 But trying to get to the next level this fails, i.e. i tried dwobject dwo_2 dwo_2 = dwo_1.Object.dw_2 // fails at runtime Does anyone have a sugg...

GetChild on Nested Report that contains Nested Reports?
I have a composite report that contains five nested reports. One of the nested reports contains nested reports within it. GetChild does not work on this NR. This was listed under the GetChild help. Nested reports: You cannot use GetChild to get a reference to a report in a composite DataWindow when the report itself is a composite or nested DataWindow. I need to get a handle to this NR so I can apply translations. Any ideas? There are multiple rows, therefore PB doesn't know which nested report to apply the change to.

To get this particular report to do everything we wanted I ended up placing two NR's within this one NR. The one is in a group header and the other is in the detail band. I was more concerned with getting the report to work and achieved that, now I have to deal w...

Nested Report -> Nested Report RowCount()
Hi All, I'm nearly there, just one more thing to work out . . . I have a composite which contains three nested reports dw_letter -> nested_1 nested_2 -> nested_4 nested_3 I can't use GetChild because this is deeper than one level, thus I am using dot notation ls_user = dw_letter.Object.nested_2.object.nested_4.object.Data[ll_current_row,ll_user id_col] I need to build on this to step through all the users in the nested datawindow, thus I need to know how many rows are in there, e.g. To do this I need something like rowcount ll_max_rows = dw_letter....

GetChild returns -1 with nested reports in nested reports
We have a composite datawindows with 4 reports. One of the reports has 2 nested reports. When we use GetChild to get a reference to the 4 reports, the report with the nested reports returns -1. When we remove the nested reports all works fine. Is this normal behaviour or a bug??

Nested report does not line op to the previous nested report
Hi everyone, I have a problem with lining up nested report. I created a composite report with 4 nested reports. The fist nested report is a free form report. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th report are grid reports. The 2nd grid report line up directly to data show in the 1st report. But 3rd and 4th report each start on a new page. But I do not want this. I want to line them up like 2nd report to the 1st report.. How can I solve this problem? I checked if the new page property is set for the repport, but this is not the case. They all have property 'autosize heigth' and 'slide dir...

Problem Created Nested Report Object On Report DataWindow
Hi All I'm using PB703 Build 10213. I face a problem creating a Sub-Report Object on an existing Report Data window. When ever I try to do this the system crushes. I also tried to copy an existing sub-report object from another datawindow. In this case the system does not crush, but all columns on the main datawindow, having a ddlb edit style, loose the ddlb information. (Even if you define them again, when you close & reopen the datawindwo, they are gone)! Any help appreciated Thanks In Advance Stelios ...

Reference a datawindow object (nested report) in a datawindow
Is it possible to reference a datawindow object in a datawindow? My scenario : I have a datawindow (composite) which holds another datawindow (nested report). This child datawindow has a OLE ActiveX object which I am trying to access from the window which holds the composite datawindow. The reason for this is because I need to access the ActiveX properties/functions after the composite datawindow have been retrieved. I've tried to get a reference to the child datawindow : //DataWindowChild dwc_activex dw1.getchild("dw_activex", dwc_activex) But as datawi...

Re: Nested Datawindow Report (Datawindow Printing)
Does anyone know if this problem has been corrected in PB 8 or 9? Please advise. I am currently using PB 7. Problem: In case of large text fields, PowerBuilder not printing the Data correctly.

Here is the link to the original documentation: http://info.sybase.com/resolution/detail.stm?id_number=10938800 Original documentation :-) states that this is not a bug but expected behaviour, so what kind of "correction" do you expect? pbm_thisusuallydoesnothelp:-)) Philip ...

A nested report on a datawindow
I want to get the name of the nested report on a datawindow. With the following code (works it) : string ls_dataobject ls_dataobject = idw.object.dw_report.dataobject ("idw" is a datawindow and "dw_report" is the name of the nested report) But what do I have to do when the name of mine nested report is stored in a string? Maybe, something like this: Ex: string ls_name = "dw_report" string ls_dataobject ls_dataobject = idw.object.(the value of ls_name).dataobject Any ideas, Thank you!

Datawindow nested reports
Nested reports problem. You can name them in the painter during development, but not at run time when added using create( ).

Missing Header Report in nested reports
I have a datawindow with a nested report in the header and a nested report in the detail. The header report fails to appear after a page break in the detail. All the pages before the page break have the header. But the moment I get a page break, the subsequent pages fail to produce the header. Can somebody please help on this Page breaks in nested reports are notorious for resulting in odd behaviors. What version of PB are you using? The DW engine was rewritten in 10.0 and many of the odd behaviors have been corrected. One thing I've found is that sometimes just movin...

Getting rowcount from a nested nested report.

composite reports compared to nested reports?
What is the difference and when should you use one over the other? I need to create reports with master/detail information and creating one reports with a nested report works fine. Is this considered good development? -- Thanks, Stephane Viau Ottawa, Canada A composite dw is just a holder for nested reports. It has no SQL. But you can define retrieval arguments for a composite dw which can then be linked (in the composite) to the retrieval arguments of the nested reports. But I recommend getting handles to the individual nested reports and retrieving them explicitly. R...

REPORTS
Hi all my question is if I can dinamically insert nested reports into an existing report if i have a report with the nested report d_nr1 and i have to use this depending on a retrieval argument once or more times... (up to 5 times)... do i have to build 5 different reports and then use report 1 if I have 1 retrieval argument and report 2 if I have 2 RA..?? or can I "insert" nested reports? ...

Saving output from a report with nested reports
Is there a way to save the output from a report with nested reports inside it as an ASCII file, or even as some kind of graphical file? I have only been able to save it as a PSR file. Margaret, PSR files is the only way I know of. However, since PSR files are native to PowerBuilder and InfoMaker, you'll need either one to work with them, or a small PB app, that allows users to view and manipulate PSR files. You can also dynamically read in PSR files to a DataWindow control at run-time, by doing the following: dw_1.DataObject = "C:\myfile.psr" hth, Tony Peru...

PowerSoft Report and nested sub-report
I have an application including pre programmed reports. I want my customers to be able to develop their own. I use Infomaker for that, and save the report in PSR format. There is a fonctionality in my aplication where the user can substitute a standard report with its own report. It works well, as far as there is no nested report included in the PSR report. I have seen in the doc that some 'precautions' should be taken to do that, but did not realy understood what it means, and what I should do to have it work. I would appreciate some help on that. Thanks in advance. ...

Nested reports vs. composite report
Quick question: What is the difference between using nested reports in a report or creating a composite report, using these same reports? What the pluses/minuses of either approach? They're totally different things. A composite report is made up of a number of independent reports. There is no driving report. That's the big difference with a nested report. There you have a main report and it passes data from the rows retrieved to the nested report(s). So the result of the nested report(s) is driven by what the main report is doing. -- Terry Dykstra (TeamSybase) ...

In addition, the edges of the report properties are well within the margins for the master report. However, I am still getting a second blank horizontal page. How do I prevent the second horizontal page from printing? I am using IM 8.0.
