Conditional Printing

Post by rsaabye » Sat Jul 23, 2005 11:29 pm

I am attempting to create a report that ALWAYS prints a text file on the Even numbered pages. I use duplexing printers and want to print legal jargon on the back of the page. The report could print anywhere from one to five pages without the legal text.____Using R&R Version 10+____Thank You__________

What prints on the odd pages? Is it record bands or group bands? And how does R&R know when to start a new page?__Having this info would help me to try to answer this question.____Kathleen__R&R Support__

The current reports use:__Page Header__1GH__3GH__4GH__5GH__6GH__Report (this of course can vary in number of records printed. The details here are usually allow the reoport to print on one page, but not always.)__1GF__Page Footer ( The page footer prints Date and Time printed by Who printed report.____

What if there are 2 pages of data? Does the legal info then need to print on page 4?____Kathleen__R&R Support

The printer is double sided, or prints on both sides.____Page one, or front, the results of the report, page two "legal" without a page header, page three report data if any *** With page header ***, page four "legal" etc. ____The goal is to always put the legal on the back side. The back side will always be even numbered pages 2,4,6,8 etc.__

Try this.__Create a page header and set its height to 11 inches.__Please your legal text in this band.____Create a calculated field with the expression:__mod(REPORTPAGE(),2)=0____Select this calculated field as the logical field to control printing of this page header band and print when true.____See if this gets you there.____Regards,____Kathleen__R&R Support
