Page break between sequential Tables

siva_birt

Hi,
This is about pagebreak between Tables when there is no Data.

I have Two tables (table1,table2)in sequential order.
Each table has its own dataset and input parameters.
In BeforeFactory method, I have this code.

if(params["param_for_table1"].value){
Table2 = reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHandle().findElement("Table2").setProperty("pageBreakBefore","Always");
}

Scenorio1: When there is data in dataset1 of table1, page break applied correctly.
scenorio2: When there is no data in dataset1 of table1, still page break is applied . An empty page appears.

I am not supposed to show empty page.

That means when Total.count()==0( for table1) then Pagebreakbefore(for table2) must be "Auto".

I tried this in all the methods of Table. None is working.

Please help to find a solution.

Thanks...

Set the page break after on the first table to avoid. Then on the table onCreate have code similar to below:

if( this.getRowData().getColumnValue("OFFICECODE")>0){
this.getStyle().pageBreakAfter = "always";
}

where OFFICECODE is some field on the data that will have a value above 0 if there is data. In other words you want to add the page break if there is data.
