How to count report pages in pre-rendered MorphX r

问题:

We are trying to force a morphX report to be an even number of pages in length (so our auto-folding machine can handle the workload properly) and have been unsuccessful in using element.pagesTotal() to do so.

How have others gotten a page count for per-entity reports at the element level?

Sorry, but pagesTotal is a "magic" function that delivers the result after the report has finished, which is too late for you to emit a newPage.

You will have to count yourself. Luckily X++ is quite good at it!

Declare your counter in classDeclaration:

 Counter pc;

Increment your counter in a page header execute section:

 pc++;

In fetch add your newPage after super() (or on break of customer number):

boolean fetch()
{
    boolean ret = super();
    if (pc mod 2 == 1)
        element.newPage();
    return ret;
}
