Column's printing sequence

c56kevin

Hi,
Now I have a confusion on using columns. I have my data like this :

ID
01
02
03
04
05

I want to design my report with two columns, and the data to be displayed in the following format.

<span style='color:red'> ID | ID
01 | 04
02 | 05
03 </span>

But now I just can get what looks like this :
<span style='color:blue'> ID | ID
01 | 02
03 | 04
05 </span>


Is there any configuration to correct in order to realize what I want , as the red format ?

use pagecolumn instead of bandcolumn.

Thanks .


But after I did as what you told, there is still some problems.

If one paper contains 20 lines , and I only have 8 records. So all those 8 record were displayed at left column . I need them to be splited into 2 column and each column contains 4 records. Like the following ,

page header
ID ID
1 | 5
2 | 6
3 | 7
4 | 8
_______________

blank lines

____________
page footer

Read the usermanual chapter on using the engine object
you will learn how to control the curx and cury position of the bands.
