Hi. I'm working in an invoice application. The input data is data base (or could be csv).
For each line of details in the output, then data has one record. That is, if the invoice for a customer has 10 lines of details, the input data has 10 records for that customer.
The output area of details is able to print until 8 details.
The question is, how to produce several pages for one customer, for them that have more than 8 details?. For example, if the data has 10 lines for one client, the output should generate two pages for him. If 24 lines, then 3 pages should be generated

ojedagabo,

You can try PlanetPress' repetition feature. Load your data file, and try to have all lines for one customer on one single data page. Do not use the CSV emulation. In this case, a database will be easier to work with. Database emulation should create a data page every times a value changes, such as the customer's ID, so that you get one page per customers.

After that, make a couple data selections for the fields of the first record, then group them. In the group's properties, go to Repeat, choose Line Repeat, 1 to 0(0 means all records). This will repeat the data selections for every of the customer's items. In the "Iteration Condition", you can put:
This will create a new page every 8 lines.

Hope this helps.

I probed all your suggestions, but there are more problems.
Whatever be the number of details, the output is generating one page for each customer.
Additionally, all the detail lines are not visible.
I probed with the instruction:

ojedagabo,

I've tried a setup similar to yours, with a database with several records, and used "&iterationcount = 8", and that worked for me.

What do you have on a single datapage? This code assumes that all datapages are a different customer, with a variable number of items for each. In that case, the overflow should work.

The data file has the structure that you described. Please, could you send the probed file that you used? I'll compare it whit mine. Thanks.

Hi ojedagabo,

Try putting the condition in the "condition to exit and overflow" instead of "iteration condition". I am confident this will solve your problem.

Please let us know if you still need assistance.
