Overflow page Text is truncated.

I have a javascript rule written that returns non-formatted text based off a supplied number. In this result the number given is 555. The script returns groups of 100 up to the given qty. Each group is separated by a newline
Code:

Code:

    var finalCount = Field("Qty");//Keeps the final record count being printed by groups

    var myCount = finalCount;//Will be used to determine the number of groups (100ea) needed for qty printing

    var myIndex1 = 1;//Lowside number of every output group range

    var myIndex2 = 100;//Highside number of every output group range

    var myAnswer = [];//Array to hold the collected groups



    myCount = myCount/100;//breaks records to be printed by 100

    myCount = Math.ceil(myCount);//always rounds up 100 group count



    for (i = 0; i < myCount; i++) {

        if (myCount == 1) {

            myAnswer.push("1 thru " + finalCount);

            break;

        }

        if (myCount == i + 1) {

            myAnswer.push(myIndex1 + " thru " + finalCount);

            break;

        }

        myAnswer.push(myIndex1 + " thru " + myIndex2);

        myIndex1 = myIndex1 + 100;

        myIndex2 = myIndex2 + 100;

    }

    return myAnswer.join("\n");

Result:

Quote:

1 thru 100
101 thru 200
201 thru 300
301 thru 400
401 thru 500
501 thru 555

This result is being passed to a text block that will show 1 line but is set to overflow the copy to a new page and continue in this fashion until all lines go onto a page. The problem I'm running into is the 2nd to last page is truncated and that result moves to the last overflow and the last line doesn't show at all. I've also included the test file I was working on this in the attached zip. I'm not 100% certain if this is the code or some other flaw in my setup that I'm overlooking.
Any help?

Tks George

Re: Truncated text

This is a kind of complicated keeps condition, related to the Widows setting, and how the newline ('\n') is handled as a line break (<br>) but not a paragraph break (<p>).

That said, an Overflow page is not the most optimal solution here. Instead, I would just use a single body page, and repeat the record. All you need to do is declare the array in the JavaScript Globals, like so:

Code:

myAnswer = [];//Array to hold the collected groups

Then rest of the logic from your rule can go into OnRecordStart, with a few changes:

Code:

var finalCount = Field("Qty");//Keeps the final record count being printed by groups

var myCount = finalCount;//Will be used to determine the number of groups (100ea) needed for qty printing

var myIndex1 = 1;//Lowside number of every output group range

var myIndex2 = 100;//Highside number of every output group range



//myAnswer = [];//Array to hold the collected groups, global



if (FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber == 1)

{

    myAnswer = [];

    myCount = myCount/100;//breaks records to be printed by 100

    myCount = Math.ceil(myCount);//always rounds up 100 group count



    for (i = 0; i < myCount; i++) {

        if (myCount == 1) {

            myAnswer.push("1 thru " + finalCount);

            break;

        }

        if (myCount == i + 1) {

            myAnswer.push(myIndex1 + " thru " + finalCount);

            break;

        }

        myAnswer.push(myIndex1 + " thru " + myIndex2);

        myIndex1 = myIndex1 + 100;

        myIndex2 = myIndex2 + 100;

    }



    FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = myAnswer.length;

}



FusionPro.Composition.AddVariable("Group Range Rule", myAnswer[FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber - 1]);



return myAnswer.join("\n");

I've attached the template with these changes as well.

Re: Truncated text

Thank you sir....working great.
