samrtforms wrong calculations within table loop

[Former Member]

Hi experts!!

I have the following problem.

I loop through an internal table in my smartform. On the table footer i display the CarryForward value (subtotals of the items printed on each page). Before writing each item i add its value to a variable and before end of main window on the footer i display this variable.

The problem is that subtotals are wrong. Calculations take into account next page's first item.

Any idea????

Please help!!!!

Have u put page protection at line item level, it shud be thr.

Also to solve ur problem what u need is to adjust the main window,

just slipghtly reduce it, may be by 2-3 mm and now execute and see by little adjustment ur problem will be solved.

Did you try doing calculations after writing the line...?

Please don't use ALL upper case in title of the post.

hey how u r summing the total, do it like this.

if u r using a table node then goto calculations tab .

selct the operation as totals, then give src and target field, it will autmatically calulate the sum into target field but if still the problem persists then changing main window will definately help.

I still haven't been able to find a solution.

What i have noticed during tests is that the calculations are correct if the remaining space of the main window is reduced. What i mean by remaining space?? in my main window before the line items i display a line with some header data. If the data take 3 lines of space then the calculations are correct, otherwise the calculations take into account next page's first line item, even though it is not displayed on the page..

Please help!!!!

actually this problem occurs because the calculation is done in smartforms before it prints so before it may estimate that 4 line items are fitting into one page so it calculates total accordingly, now if at time of printing the 4th line item doesnot fit completely and u hv applied page protection so at that time it is moved to next oage but since total is already calculated so u get sum of 4 line items even if u see 3 on one page.
