Variable on number of copies

rbuser

Hi

We many instances with invoice printing apps, where the customer pronts 2
copies of an invoice, and the first copy must have a variable "File Copy"
and the second = "Customer Copy".

Is there anything in RAP or Jit Pipline that can be passed or calculated to
perform this ?

Thanks

Hi Andy,

Take a look at the following example of creating a unique caption for each
copy printed with RAP.

Hi Nico

This example works great, but I can;t run in my app because it doesn't
understand gCopy.

Thanks

HI Nico
This all works great, untill..

I print off multiple records, i.e. 3 or 4 invoices. they all say Copy 1.

A little bit more info.

the report uses groups to group invoice items in invoice headers. It goes
wrong when I use a setrange of invoice numbers. It's like it's not setting
gCopy back to 0 or 1.

Cheers

Andy,

This example is designed to print multiple copies of an entire report.
gCopy will only get reset back to 0 when the report begins printing. Then
each time the page starts, the gCopy is increased if the page number is 1
(meaning a new copy is printing). Are you by chance not collating these
copies? Are you able to alter the example to show the behavior you are
getting?
