print a number of labels

rbuser

I am trying to print customer labels. It works if I print one label per
customer.
If each record has a number field which indicates how many labels should be
printed.
How do I do it?

Thank you

You might want to try using the DetailBand.BeforePrint event to dynamically
set the DetailBand.BandsPerRecord property.

One method would be to use a TppJITPipeline, and do your own coding for
traversal.

How do I print on each label something like this:
1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3

You would have to create a TppVariable and code its OnCalc event handler to
perform that calculation. The default data type of the variable is string.
In RAP you could declare a global integer variable to track the count (the
BandsPerRecord total is already known), and use the TppVariable to calculate
and display the (n of N) string. Outside of RAP, you wold need to use
another TppVariable to track the increment value for the label count and
reset it when the detail band changes to a new value.
