I have a report without report detail and with a group (break) Can I put BreakFooter output (only 2 numbers) on same line and get a new line when reach 80 cols ? As: g1 n1 g2 n2 g3 n3 g4 n4 g5 n5 g6 n6 g7 n7 g8 n8 ..... Regards Franco Spinelli |

Hi, You can have a report with out detail Currently It would be hard to do the limit @ 80 columns.. as RLIB is more of a fixed layout engine right now.. it is in our plans to make another layout engine in rlib that would be more freeflow.. however that would be kinda far off Chet has on his TODO list to implement line wrapping.. for MEMO fields.. that would also help you do your BreakFooter... but I can't say when he is going to get to that.. as it stands right now.. it might be a little while.. as we @ SICOM have prioritized l10n and i18n stuff ahead of that due to paying customers needs ;) For right now you could just specify a width for all of your fields and lay them out manually... until we get around to some other sutff - Bob On Sun, 2004-01-25 at 11:38, Franco Spinelli wrote: > I have a report without report detail and with a group (break) > Can I put BreakFooter output (only 2 numbers) on same line and > get a new line when reach 80 cols ? > > As: > > g1 n1 g2 n2 g3 n3 g4 n4 g5 n5 g6 n6 > g7 n7 g8 n8 ..... > > Regards > > Franco Spinelli > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 > Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration > See the breadth of Eclipse activity.

Well.. not exactly ;) RLIB has 4 output engines inside our current
layout engine.. So whats really going on is:
PDF: Lines are done w/ pixel heights based on font size
HTML: Lines are done w/ tables and PRE
TEXT: Lines are done with the good old \n
CSV: Lines are done by output.. not by lines
Also.. the problem is more complicated..
For PDF: Paper sizes, port vs land scape
HTML.. has no concept of real "pages"
TEXT.. can be done easily
CSV: Does not apply
So in order to solve the problem the Report element would need to either
be told an amount of characters (but this doesn't always work because
rlib will soon support different non fixed fonts besides courier) or
maybe some % of the page...
I think.. you might be used to (and I could be wrong).. being able to
define a table
<table>
<tr>
<td>lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of content</td>
</tr>
</table>
And having the browser automatically resize it to span multiple rows
BTW.. are you trying to use rlib just for the TXT output so you can send
it to a dot matrix printer or something?

Thanks.. I'll look into this

Hi, Ohhhhhhhhhhh.. I think I get it.. you want to put multiple rows (detail rows) on one line right????? And then be able to break the line after a certian number of characters??
