Group header gets repeated on every page

[RogerBertilsson]

I'm using Powerbuilder 8.0.4 and I'm creating a tabular, datawindow report
based on a simple select with 3 grouping levels.

The details section can sometimes handle about 400 rows and when I retrieve
the report the group header for group 2 and 3 is repeated for each page.

Because the group headers for group 2 and 3 is consuming quite a lot of
space this report cosumes unnessesary space both on the screen and when
being printed.

Is there some way to tell powerbuilder not to repeat the group headers for
each page? I have looked for somewhere to turn of repeating the group header
for every page but I havn't found any solution.

Am I right when I find that it's not possible to turn it off?
Is it possible in any further releases of Powerbuilder?

This datawindow must be updateable in the details section and it must be
able to be exported (save as) to a html-file and therefore I can't use a
nested report, am I right?

Is there possible in any newer release of Powerbuilder to export (html) and
update a composite datawindow?

Thanks /Roger

1. Yes you are right >> it's not possible to turn the
group header repeating on each page off

2. I haven't seen it. >>Is it possible in any further
releases of Powerbuilder?

3. You are right. >>If it needs to be updateable then you
can not
use a nested report.

4. Again I haven't see this. >>Is there possible in any

newer release of Powerbuilder to export (html) and update a
composite datawindow?

What you could do is put the headers in the detail band.
Only make them visible if it is the first row of the group.
Then set all the fields to autosize and slide up.
Set the detail band to autosize as well.

This way the datawindow is still editable
the headers are only seen on the first row of the group

Search the newsgroup there are many examples
of how to do this.
