Showing 2 rows in dataset in Single table

Hi,

I am selecting the person name from the person table. I want to show the names in 2 columns a single table. How can I achieve the same?

I tried with Grid having 2 columns and each column has a table. The data set is mapped to the tables. The first table have a condition saying that rownum % 2 =1 & second table has the same data set but with different condition i.e rownum % 2 = 0. I have totally 142 names and ideally I am suppose to get 71 rows. But the result is somewhat weird. Only the first table shows with 40 rows followed by the second table with another 40 rows... then again first table with remaining rows then second table have remaining rows.

Could someone help me out to display a row contains 2 rows from the data set?

Advance Thanks for ur help.

Thanks,
Senthil

The layout is screwed up ONLY in PDF. Other views are giving the expected results.

Hi Senthil,

What version of BIRT are you using?

Unfortunately, it looks like this is a bug to me. This was an issue in earlier versions of BIRT, I believe, but when I run this same report in BIRT 2.3.2, the parallel report works just fine in PDF as I thought it did. You can log a bug for this at <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/reportabug.php'>BIRT: Reporting Bugs and Requesting Enhancements</a>.

Senthil,

It looks like if you set the page break interval to an amount that will fit on the page, it'll work correctly. There is definitely a bug with this though. If you could please log a bug on this at the above link, that'd be great. Thanks.

Michael,

I apologize… I was using version 2.5.0. Now, I have updated to 2.5.1… It seems I am getting the report in an expected way. Thank for ur efforts.

By the by, my first page has 10 records and other pages will have 15 records. How will I set the page break? If I set the page break of 10 then other pages will have more spaces but if I set page break of 15 records then the second page will have only 5 records from the first page.

My first page has some more information, hence it can have only 10 records.

Could u advise me to do the right things?

Thanks,
Senthil

Senthil,

Good. It must've been a bug in 2.5.0. That is what I had and tried it in. I just took your word on 2.5.1.

Does the page break not happen automatically in the correct spot if you leave the interval at the default?
