hello seniors..!

i have a repeating frame and under that i have 3 fields one above the other.

Field1
Field2
Field3

what i want is, if theres is no data return for Field1, then Field2 and Field3 should be moved up,
and similarly, if theres is no data return for Field2, then Field3 should take place of Field2.

the ultimate goal is , theres should not be any blank row shown.

Kindly suggest please.

Try to fix that in query itself, using NVL function:

select nvl(field1, field2) f1,
       nvl(field2, field3) f2,
       field3 f3
from some_table
where ...

Huh?

How's that going to work? All that's going to do is, if field1 is null, give you field2 twice then field3.

Try setting the items vertical elasticity to variable along with their frame.

True. A really stupid answer. Sorry.

Thank you for your reply..

but still Mr. Littlefoot, by doing through SQL,
the Fields created on the report Layout, will still be blank
for any of the empty value.

and i dont want any unnecessary blank row.

Mr. CookieMonster, i tried to change the vertical elasticity, but still, Fields didnt moved UP.

i leave for your reference the screen shot of my reports (rdf & preveiwer) .

Please refer attached file "RepPicLink.txt"

if u can get an idea about my problem, then please do post me the solution.

The attached file appears to be empty, and I'm not sure why it's a .txt, it should be a .jpg

Because users with too few posts aren't allowed to do that (in order to prevent spam).

The solution, after all, seems to be in creating a format trigger (for all of these fields) which would look like this (example for the first field):

return (:field1 is not null);

It would result in not displaying that field at all, if it is empty.

I think the best solution for this scenario is to use the "Anchor" tool.

Just select the Anchor tool from the tool pallette and drag and drop it from f3 to f2 and again f2 to f1.
