Report Error

Posted on by Santosh Kumar 155

Hi,

There is a Memo field having maximum 2000 characters in a report.During the time of execution, it throws en error " A section in the report is higher than the actual page size allows" . This error is due to this memo field only. I have set the width of the field as 60 and even after increase the width also it throws the same error.

Regards

Santosh

     Hi Santosh,

    You can try this, set the Dynamics Height = Yes of Memo control of Report. I think it will work...

     Hi

     

    It appears when the content of the memo field is greater than what can be put in the section, on a single page. It seems to be some limitations with the kernel.

    Sorry for that

    Try making the report orientation as landscape and then make the field property  Dynamic height to Yes. else make the height to 3 or 4 char. this should work!!!!!!!!

    Thank you Manish for your answer.

    The dynamic height is already set to Yes.

    According to the report orientation, that will just allow to have some more data (I need more...), but it's a good idea.

    I also found something : if you have some carriage return in the field, it seems to spread the data from that field on 2 different pages.

     Hi Santosh,

    You can try another process, declare a string variable. Right now you have data in memo variable.

    Lets say,

    str              tmpMemo;

    ;

    tmpMemo = memo;   (Here memo is your 2000 char var)

    tmpMemo is not bound to string char, it creates dynamically string size.

    Now set it into your report, & try to set 2000 char into one page,  if not then check how many char can store into a single page & then set it into the page and set rest into another page by writing logic.

    Please note: tmpMemo is a generic string variable not should be str EDT.
