How to retrieve current page number inside table group

i5analyst

Here's what I'm trying to do:

I've created a report with a table that groups & breaks on one column(InterceptCart) and outputs to pdf. I want to print the current page number in the Group Header and in the Detail Lines. I have an event handler class attached to the detail row that will retrieve, and save to a file, the detail row column values plus 2 variables I created to store the page number(InterceptPage) and detail print line number(InterceptLine).

Here's my problem:

I've tried using the variable pageNumber in various ways to populate InterceptPage with the same page number value that prints from the master page without success. It appears that I'm getting a group time page number that doesn't take into account when a group spans more than one page.

Example: The first group to print spans 2 pages.
Page 1 - Master Page prints 1 - Group Header&Detail prints 1
Page 2 - Master Page prints 2 - Group Header&Detail prints 1
Page 3 - Master Page prints 3 - Group Header&Detail prints 2

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi i5analyst,

You could try creating your own variable and incrementing it on the pageBreak event. I don't see how the detail rows are having a problem with the pageNumber variable though. Haven't seen that before. Can you recreate this issue with the sample database, so I can see it? Thanks. What version of BIRT are you using?
