SSRS 2008 KeepTogether on SubReport does not work for Print. Broken?

Question

I have KeepTogether=False on my SubReport, and also on the List container of the SubReport.

When a SubReport extends past the end of of a page, it is successfully split by the Soft Page-Break Renderers.

However, when a Hard Break-Renderer renders the report, the subreport is pushed to the next page as if KeepTogether=True.

This seems contrary to what is noted on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb677573.aspx.

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Unfortunately I've found no solution to the subreport, and have instead implemented a work around.

Instead of using a subquery based on a parameter provide by my main query to populate a subreport, I have instead joined the results of the subquery to the main query and used a combination of Lists and grouping to provide the same visual effect as I was hoping for with the subreport (ie; the subquery results split over the page).  This pulls way more data from the server than I need, but allows me to switch the faulty Subreport control for a List.

So it seems the rule carries over from SSRS 2005 to 2008;  Don't use sub reports.

Hi S Williams,

 

The KeepTogether concept has been resolved in SSRS 2008 R2. Having applied this property the reports are working fine for us, However there are reports which does not  support this in SSRS 2008 R2 also, But Microsoft claims that this woll work fine an any report which has subreport also.

The subreport would be  pushed to the next page as if KeepTogether=True this might the display cause as out put of the subreport is more so that all the

contents are put on next page.

Please let me know if I can assist you futher.

Thanks,

Mahesh

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 with Report Viwer 2010. I have a report which has the following format

<Tender details>

< tender items  in a sub report> - KeepTogether=False

<sign part>

But in the print view the breaks into three pages with a massve white space in the first page. Can you tell we if there is an update to the report viewer to fix this problem?
