Suppress Blank SubReport

[diane55]

I am developing a report in CR10 - I need to suppress a field in my main report based on if the subReport is suppressed (via no data being returned from subReport).

Is there a function/command to check if the Suppress Blank subReport (checked in the format Editor subReport tab) is true.

Any direction to resolution is appreciated in advance!

Create a shared variable in the subreport report footer:

whileprintingrecords;
shared stringvar id := maximum({table.string});//use a recurring field

Then in the main report, create a reset formula:

whileprintingrecords;
shared stringvar id := "";

Place this in a section above where the subreport is firing, e.g., in GH_a, if the subreport is in GH_b. Then
you can suppress a field in a section (e.g., GH_c) below the one in which the subreport is executing, by right clicking on the field->format field->suppress->x+2 and entering:

whileprintingrecords;
shared stringvar id := "";
