Group By on a Report

rbuser

Hi,

I have a manifest report that is printing lets say 10 separate jobs taken
from the database. Each job has a distinct jobnumber. Lets say 4 of these
jobs are been delivered to the same company...Is there anyway that I can
group these four jobs together just to print out once

In order to print reports together as one, use subreports. Please see demos
#51 and 52 in the main reports deom project for an example of section style
subreports in an non-data connected main report as the driver.You'll have to
dynamically create a report at runtime, creating subreports in the main
report, and then loading the same template in each subreport. Then set
search criteria values on each subreport so that each prints one of the four
datasets.

You can alternatively generate the reports individually to an archive file,
and then merge them together using an archive merge utility to be printed as
one print file = one print job. Send an email to
support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll reply with the utility attached.
