Page Break in PO custom report

Hi,

Just want to get advise from all the experts here. I have created a custom reports for PO which shows POLine items in the report, and I have also set a header and footer for the report. When running the report, however, it will automatically inserted a page break for every 50 rows of poline items. So making the odd pages fill with lines correctly but those even pages shows the remaining lines from the 50.

But it is strange that I have no problem on any other reports with more than 50 lines. Would it be any problem on the header and footer that I set? Can anyone help on this issue or have any experience on this?

Thanks in advance
Ricky

As far as I know the mechanism of BIRT (and I am still discovering new things evry day

). Is that BIRT try's to fill it to the astimate of the size. Eg if your master page is set to A4 it will try to make the combined size of head + detail + footer fit the A4 page. 
 
It also response difrently when you look at it trough the web viewer and straigth to pdf </blockquote>
 
Hi Mcremer, 
 
Thanks for your reply. I have tried to attach the image that the report ran. It seems that BIRT try to display 50 rows for a page. Then when I convert to PDF, since it is not enough space for displaying 50 rows, therefore it display, say 38 rows, in the 1st page, then another 12 rows on 2nd page. If I have 120 rows of records, then the result will be 38rows(1st page), 12rows(2nd page), 38rows(3rd page), 12rows(4th page), 20rows(5th page). 
 
I initially think that it is because I have changed the display settings in the POLine to make it to show 50 rows in the PO application. But I have tried to change it back to 10, the result still the same.
