Title: Bottom Link Issue
Post by: devmk on 26 May 2012 05:47:07 AM
Hi,

I have a report which runs into 5 pages. When I click on the page down button and go till the 5th Page it shows "5 of 5", however when I click on bottom it shows "? of 5". Could you pls suggest.

Hi this is to do with the way the report is rendered.  Until you scroll through all the pages the report studio doesn't know how many pages there are as it just renders one page at a time.  I think this only happens when  you run the report to the screen, if you run the report to save as HTML or PDF it should show the correct number of pages.

I don't think so

Is this causing you an issue?

If you schedule it, you can sell all the pages in HTML.

Hi,

Generally, as mentioned when using interactive HTML the final page number is not known unless you click down one page at a time or you create saved output first.

There is a very specific IBM workaround noted below using a running count but it does depend on the report satisfying a number of conditions for it to work.
