Report Overflow

The following statements are added to get better control for overflow reports.

Setting	Description
Max-Rows	Sets the maximum number of rows available for a (main) report in a page/column. The statement is optional and defaults to zero. A zero means an unlimited number of rows
Max-Cols	Sets the maximum number of columns for the report in the isometric sheet. If more columns are needed the report flows over to the next isometric sheet. The statement is optional and defaults to 1.
ColumnOffset	Sets the offset to use for multi-column reports
Continuation-Message	Specifies the continuation message at the report end when the rest of the report flows over to another sheet. The default value is the empty string. The CONTINUATON-MESSAGE is a global setting and can not be overridden in a report. The message can be formatted like all other plain texts.

Example: multi column pipe cut report

REPORT = CUT
    INCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_PIPE|CT_BEND
    columnheader = id,Diam, Length 
    COLUMN  = 10:C:CUTID
    COLUMN  = 20:R:SIZE1
    COLUMN  = 20:R:QUANTITY
    #COLUMN  = 3:R:
    #COLUMN  = 80:W:IE_DESCRIPT
    GROUP   = CUTID
    SORT    = CUTID
    NODE    = 61
    Max-Rows =6
    Max-Cols = 5
    columnoffset = 50
    table = 1
END

with: columnOffset=52:

For the more complex combination reports the "split" is done at logical location. Every new column page re-displays important non-business data.

In the below example the first sheet doesn't use the last 8 columns allocated for the report. The reason is that what follows can't display any business data in the remaining lines. In this case the erection material report is to be written but it takes 9 lines before the first business data is printed.
