Creating the New Band Lines

Now that you have removed all the unnecessary band lines, you are ready to add the new group header and group footer band lines. These band lines will contain the swapped header and swapped footer information, respectively. Remember, to use the swapped header feature, the page header and group header must have the same number of band lines. This rule also applies to the page footer and group footer. Therefore, you must plan the number of band lines accordingly.

Follow these steps to create the correct number of band lines:

  1. Create eleven page header band lines. Because the Instant Layout option automatically creates one page header band line, there are now a total of twelve page header band lines.
  2. Create twelve 2GH–Order–num group header band lines so that you have the same number of group header band lines as you do page header band lines.
  3. Create one additional record line.
  4. Create five 2GF–Order–num group footer band lines.
  5. Create three page footer band lines. This brings the total number of page footer band lines to five to match the number of group footer band lines.

Figure 9–2 shows the top portion of the report layout with the new band lines.
