nested reports in nested reportHi, 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...
Nested report inside nested reportHas any one tried to put and populate a nested report inside
already existing nested report?
Yes, What problems are you having?
Just retreive the main report and the nested - nested
report will retrieve.

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.
What type of change are you doing?

This report is pretty complex. I try to avoid nested reports within a nested
report because of the getchild issue. 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 reportsWe 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??
We're using PB5.0.02.

Nested report does not line op to the previous nested reportHi 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 DataWindowHi 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

Reference a datawindow object (nested report) in a datawindowIs 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

not printing last few lines . This is happening on nested
datawindow.
Here is the link to the original documentation:

Original documentation :-) states that this is not a bug but expected
behaviour, so what kind of "correction" do you expect?

A nested report on a datawindowI 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 reportsI have a nested report containing reports and a nested report. The

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...

my question is if I can dinamically insert nested reports into an existing

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 reportsIs 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"

PowerSoft Report and nested sub-reportI 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 reportQuick 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.
