Creating a report using the Composite presentation style
To create a report using the Composite presentation
style:
-
Select File>New from the menu
bar.The New Report dialog box displays.
-
Choose the DataWindow tab page and the Composite
presentation style, and click OK.The wizard displays all reports (DataWindow objects) that
are in the current target’s library search path. -
Click the reports you want to include in the composite
report and then click Next.The wizard lists your choices.
-
Click Finish.
PowerBuilder places boxes for the selected reports in the Design
view. In this example, you see three reports:
-
Select File>Save from the menu bar and
assign a name to the composite report. -
Look at the Preview view of the report:

Notice that you are in print preview (which is read-only).
Working with composite reports
Many of the options available for working with reports, such
as Rows>Filter, Rows>Import, and Rows>Sort,
are disabled for a composite report. If you want to use any of these
options, you need to access the nested report(s), where these options
are available. -
Continue to enhance the composite report (for
example, add a date and title).
