Title:
HOW TO:
Suppress Page Breaks in a Report Designer Export File
Background:
There may be times when
you want to use the Report Designer to create data extracts, for importing
FLEETMATE data into a different system. In these cases, you do not want any
special formatting, headers, footers, or page breaks in your output data. Your
output data should only consist of raw data, usually with a delimiter of some
type between each data value. However, the Report Designer is page-oriented.
Therefore, when your output data reaches the end of the logical page, a page-break
character will always be written to your output file.
Solution:
To avoid page-break characters in your extract file, set your PaperSize
property to "Custom", and then set the CustomHeight property to a
value that is not likely to ever be reached (e.g. 11,000 inches). A listing of
some example property settings is found below:
