I have use one sub-report in main report with use of jasper Reports. sub-report is print half of is in one page and other half in next page. but i want to print it is in single page. Please help me.
You can set SplitType to equal Prevent in the detail band properties, but that only prevents a band from splitting from page to page, forcing it to begin on the following page of your report. If the output of your sub-report is naturally longer than the page height you have set, then this will just force the sub-report to begin on the following page. I do not think this would be a desirable outcome since in that case the subreport would still populate two separate pages (actually 3 if you include the resulting blank first page).
All that said one solution would be to check off "Ignore Pagination" in your main reports properties. This will ensure that your entire report is viewed as one single page, but this causes problems when printing or PDF'ing.
You are a bit vague in your question, but its also possible that the detail band height is too high. IReport is "pixel perfect" so if the subreport element begins in the middle of the band then that is where it will start. Also if you have title, page header, or column header bands that are not being used, these will result in unwanted white space.
Hope this helps!
There is a property called "isSplitAllowed" in the band tag that should help you.

I was trying to create one report with several pages doing this:
I've created like 3 reports with different embedded datasets (each report has nothing to do with the others).
I've created a main report where i put the 3 subreports, overlaying them.
In SSRS web view i can change the the pages in order to see each subreport in a different page.
The problem is when i tried to export the report in PDF, there is not a "page break" so the first page contain all the reports overlayed.... this is a big issue....
Is there a way to fix this?
You can enclose sub reports in a rectangle and provide page break properties to the rectangle.
1st sub-report should be within 1st rectangle and as is.
You can also make sure, sub-reports are one-by-one in the design for proper page breaks.
I'm creating a report by account that will either print 2 pages duplex (front and back). But sometimes the amount of data will make it overflow to 3 pages. When that happens I need to make sure a 4th page gets generated (blank) so the next account can print on the front of page 1. How can I accomplish this in VS2010? Thanks.
The answer, like most formatting questions, is to use a Rectangle.
Insert a rectangle, place it after your first table and give it a height of 0.125in. In the Rectangle properties, check Add Page Break After.
Now the problem is with your needing to only use the rectangle's page break when it's on page 2.
Since the Page Number built-in field only works in the header or footer, you need some code for the page number. Add code to get the Page Number to the report code (Report Properties -> Code):
Public Function PageNumber() as integer
Return Me.Report.Globals!PageNumber
End Function
Then set the Rectangle's visibility to Show or Hide based on expression and the expression to:
=IIF(Code.PageNumber() = 3, TRUE, FALSE)
In VS2010 I have a report, with a table of data that can cause the report to span multiple pages.
Also on this report I have a rectangle that has some contact information for the company the report is for, that I need it to repeat on every page, to the side of the previous table. However this rectangle is not, and cannot be in the header or footer. Is there a way to make an element of a report repeat on every page?
I'm afraid there isn't. You'll have to mimic this by splitting your report into pieces and forcing page breaks after which you display the header again. You can use the List component to do this and group your data to a fixed row height to break to a next page.
I want to display the address(6 lines) in first page only. i am applying suppress formula in page footer. The problem is the 6 line space are repeated in remaining pages.
thank u,
There is no way around this limitation. Page headers and footers always take up a fixed amount of space. Without knowing any details about your report, the best suggestion I can make is to try putting your fields in a group footer or detail section that is set to print at the bottom of the page.
You have an option called Suppress blank section in the Section Expert screen. If you select that then the section will be automatically suppressed if nothing is there, anyway you are conditionally suppressing it and I assume that you are suppressing it if the pagenumber is not equal to 1. So from page 2 the section will come as empty and enabling this flag will the suppress this space
After upgrading BIRT from version 2.3.2 to 2.6.1, some reports have started producing empty first pages. I've checked the source XML of the rptdesign and the referenced rptlibrary and verified that ALL settings of page break properties are set to "auto". I.e. there are no forced page breaks anywhere in the report definition. The first page contains the master page header/footer items but no data.
Being a relative newbie to BIRT I'm not sure where to go next to solve (or even debug) this problem. My Google-fu turns up some old BIRT bugs (2.1 timeframe) relating to empty first pages but they were resolved long ago.
Can someone suggest how debug this?
First Page
Second Page
I have identified the source of the problem. When this report was
originally designed (long before my time) a grid was used to effect some
padding around the outside of the content. At the top level of the
design (in the body) is a 3x3 grid with skinny top and bottom rows and
left and right columns, with all content going in the center cell.
body
grid
column1 width=2%
column2 width=96%
column3 width=2%
row1 (empty)
row2
table with all report content
row3 (empty)
All the border cells are empty, and if I completely remove the grid and
place the content table in the body directly, there is no initial page
break.
body
table with all report content
So the bug appears to occur if the content, which is larger than a
single output page, is inside a grid. In this case, the normal
suppression of the page break before the first page does not seem to
function.
It's not clear if this is a bug or a design decision, so I have asked
on the Eclipse community forums if this behavior is expected. I will
update this answer when I get a definitive reply.
EDIT: Looks like a BIRT Bug
EDIT: For us, an acceptable workaround is to simply delete the first row in the grid, which consisted of only empty cells anyway. If the too-large section occurs in the (now) first row, the spurious page-break disappears.
This happened for us when we were including svg - images in Birt. Removing them in the XML - document fixed the Problem. Interestingly this only happens with specific svg - images and not with all of them...
