Hi Ajay,

Are you using Table or Loop to display your data?

Page break can be acheived using the 'Command node'. In this you have to select the 'Go to next page' check box and give the next page in the adjusant field.

But this cannot be used inside the Table node. The solution for this could be like;

Hope you are displaying the line items. Then get the unique POs in one internal table. Then use the LOOP node to loop thru these POs. Inside the LOOP, use a TABLE node to loop thru its items. Once the TABLE node is processed (after the table node) call the command option.

Hope this will help you. Should you require more clarifications please let me know.

Thanks

Vinod

Hi Ajay,

This can be done using a variable. Pls follow these steps.

1. Get the number of distinct POs in a variable, say w_pocnt. (type i).

2. Just before the page break add a program line node and in that write a code to subtract one from this variable. (w_pocnt = w_pocnt - 1).

3. In the condition of the page break give, w_pocnt > 0.

For example if there are 3 PO's. First time when the page break happens the value of w_pocnt become 2 (because of step 2). Second time it will become 1 and third time 0. Becuase we have given a condition (step 3) there that w_pocnt must be greater than zero to execute this node, you will not get an extra page.

Thanks

Vinod
