Topic: for next loop question Posted: 02 May 2008 at 12:57pm
I want use the number from a database field and create line feeds equal to that number. (The larger the number the more space I have in the report). I have been reading about for next loops and do while crystal syntax, but I just don't get it. Or maybe I don't get where I should be putting the logic in the report? Is it a formula field I create? Or maybe I don't want to use for next loop? Seem like this should be so simple.

What's the largest number of line feeds that you need? You may be able to simulate this in a much easier way by creating a bunch of detail sections (assuming you need this at the detail level) after the section where you need your line feeds. For each section put something like this in the suppress formula:
{data field} < X
Where X is 1 for the first section, 2 for the section, etc.
This probably won't work if you need lots of line feeds, but it might serve your needs.
