Supress section printing

rbuser

Is there a way to supress a section from printing when the section contains
no data?

I need to develop a report that will have various sections and supress the
sections that do not contain data.

I am using the report server to serve up the reports (RTM files). I would
prefer to place all coding in the report (via RAP).

Thanks,

Hi Bill,

Try setting the DataPipeline.SkipWhenNoRecords property to True. This will
suppress the printing of any records that contain no data. This property
can be set in code or manually using the Object Inspector while selected on
the TppDBPipeline of your choice.

Where do I place this within RAP? Since the Report server is loading and
producing the report, I do not have easy access to DataPipelines in the
various sections of the report. I attempted to place the following code in
the BeforePrint event (RAP) of the main report :

Air.DataPipeline.SkipWhenNoRecords := true;

The report is still generating a blank page for the Air section that
contains no data.

I also need a way to suppress the Outline Nodes. I seen that there is an
OnOutlineNodeCreate event where I can accept/deny a node, but I can seem to
determine how to know that no records exist for this given node.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bill,

This should work correctly in RAP. Be sure you are suppressing the Detail
datapipeline. If possible, please send a small example demonstrating the
issue in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll test it.
