Hi Sandeep,

there is no column limit in BIRT. the only thing that keeps you stopping from adding columns is the page layout. So the question to ask is: How many columns can i display on a US letter page.
The answer depends on the column width of your columns and that's something we can't answer without having a look on the concrete report.

There are some things you can configure. First try to change the master pages page orientation from portrait to landscape. You can decide to choose a different page size (default is US letter which seems a bit small especially for the german people working with A4).

Hi RSP
Have you tried modifying the master page width?

By default, the master page is formatted as a US letter. If you choose “Custom” you will be able to define yourself the width and height of your page. If the width is big enough you will be able to display all your columns on one page.

Depending on the usage of the report, having a page width so large would not be easy to read with a format other than HTML and the web viewer.

Sandeep,

Jag's suggestion of using a custom page size should do what you're looking for. Let me know.

Sandeep,

I'm getting a birt core error with both xml files when I preview cause by a "missing ; before statement". I've been unable to locate what's causing this. Running with multi.xml does still show the data though. With Ack.xml, I get another error "cannot find default value for object" and no data shows up in the preview of the dataSets either. Are the xml files set up exactly the same? I have not looked into the xml files much.

Found the source of the core exception. In the expression for data element FD2, there is an extra d in your expression. I would now completely guess that differences in the xml setup of the two xml files is the reason you're not getting data out of the Ack.xml, as there is no data in the preview of any dataSet when using that file.
