Subreports - simple page overflow

rbuser

Hi;

I cannot get a subreports detail lines to simply overflow on to the next
page. I have setup a group for this child subreport; mage sure that
there are no KeepTogether := true; requested the group header to reprint
on the next page.

Subreport.Group.Header
detail line 0
..
detail line n
new page
Subreport.Group.Header
detail line n + 1
detail line n + 2 is what I'm looking for.

Instead I consistently get:

Subreport.Group.Header
detail line 0
..
detail line n
new page
Subreport.Group.Header
detail line 0
..
detail line n
detail line n + 1
detail line n + 2 , namely a repeat of those detail lines printed on
the first page.

I using ppJITPipelines accessing TStringLists and have been for years
within subreports so I suspect that I'm missing something.
One interesting event I noticed is that the index control used in
handling records is reset to 0 (zero) when a new page is detected by the
print engine.

I'm using Delphi 7 and RB 7.03 or RB 10.0 (trial)

Oh, by the by the popup menu on a subreport design screen for Groups...
doesn't work with RB 10.0. Top main menu Report | Groups does.

Tech Tip: Use Master/Detail JITPipelines
----------------------------------------------------


To use Master/Detail relationship with the JITPipeline:


1. Check out the demo dm0139 in the main demo reports app
for an example.

2. Make sure you have the Detail JITPipeline.MasterFieldLinks
defined to specify the relationship. In dm0139 the detailed it
linked to the master using the CustNo field from each pipeline.

3. Once you have things setup like the above, then you will need
to connect the Report.DataPipeline property to the master JITPipeline
and the SubReport.DataPipeline property to the detail JITPipeline.

4. In the FormCreate event set each JITPipeline.RecordCount
property to the total number of records for each.


You should not need to reset anything.

6. ReportBuilder expects the data in the detail dataset
to be in sorted order of the field links.

In dm0139, the linked field is the CustNo, therefore
the detail data must be order like this:

CustNo OrderNo
------ -------
1 001
1 002
1 003
2 010
2 009
2 005
