Detail to end of the page

rbuser

I have a report similar to the following:

------------------------------------------------------------------
| Field1 | Field2 | Field3 |
------------------------------------------------------------------

The above is in the detail section of the report. If there are (for
example) ten detail lines, 10 boxes will print with information. Then
totals will print after that. The totals are currently in the Summary
band so that they print right after the detail section. If I move them
to the footer band, they print at the bottom of the page which I want,
but I also want to have blank boxes appear in the space between the last
detail line that had data and the totals that appear at the bottom of
the page. Is there a way to do this?

Hi Jeff,

Take a look at the following example of adding lines to the end of the
detail band to fill the rest of a page.

Is there a way to do this in the rap portion of the report writer?

Hi Jeff,

This should be possible in RAP however it may be necessary to create a
pass-thru function to allow some of the functionality. For instance,
getting access to the Report.Engine and PrinterSetup.PageDef properties may
take a couple passthru functions. See the Developer's Guide on creating and
use pass-thru functions in RAP.
