Hi PrathiBirt,

You should be able to use a fixed layout and grids to place things where you'd like them on the page to end up where you want them. Where is the total supposed to be in the preprinted paper? Can you show screenshots?

It looks like you got the total in the total box on the last one. Was this just a fluke? Will there be a time where you have more line items than space in the main area of your report? Or will they always end up on one page?

HI Williams , 
Thanks, for ur reply. 
 
Find out the rpt file.It works fine when i implement page break interval,for example if i intialize maxRows 12 and page break interval is 7 or some number.Country Total will be displayed same location of the footer on each and every page. 
But my turn it is not working well. 
For Example. 
Total Reords 4 , Page Break Interwal 7 . 
If the rocord count is less it is working fine , Total Amount will be displayed correct position.(One Page). 
For Example 
Total Reords 9 , Page Break Inerwal 7 
Total Amount will not displayed correct position.find the previous mail attachment. 
 
Thanks,

Hi Williams,

Have a look at the changes. I put the table page break interval back to 40, but added a group to the table with an interval of 6. I moved the script from the table footer and put it in the group footer along with the country totals. This isn't perfect because you'll have to write some short script to determine if you're on the first page of a country so that you can add a couple extra counts for the header info when you're not on the first page.

Let me know.

Hi Williams 
 
Still i didnt get the exact location of Total amount. 
Guide me to implement global variable on this. 
If i set rowcount computed column in Globalvariable.According to the row count value i have to set the maxrows in initiaze method. 
Ihope it will work... 
 
Please guide me ... 
 
onFetch in dataset 
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("rowcount",row["rowCount"]); 
 
intialize 
rowCount = 0; 
extendTable = ""; 
 
if(reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable("rowcount") == 1){ 
maxRows = 17; 
} 
 
But it is not working. 
 
i am looking for the same soltion implemented in the following link

Pradeep,

Are you trying to use the idea from the devShare example in the above link? Or the script from the post below it?

With a little more script, you should be able to use the changes I made in your example above to do this. The only thing keeping the above example from working correctly is tracking whether you're on the first page of the group or not. When you are not, you need to add a couple extra counts to the rowCount. Then it's just a matter of getting the right amount of spaces and using sized grids to put the total exacly where you're wanting it. What issues were you having with the above example?

I'm not sure I'm fully understanding the issue with the "twenty four Only". As for absolute positioning, you can do some stuff like this in HTML by adding a client side script into a text element that grabs your bookmarked element and moves it to an absolute position, but I don't believe it works for PDF. You will have to use grids to push your element to the right and using the HTML in the dynamic text to push your total element down to your pre-determined place.
