I have two repeating frames on a single page one below the other (B, C), both with a print condition of all and variable in size. Surrounding both these repeating frames is another repeating frame (A) with a print condition of all and set to variable size.

If one of the fields (varchar2(2000)) in the top repeating frames (B) stretches to take up almost all of the page the frame below does not show up. There is no next page and the second frame (C) is never displayed. I have the page size set to about 19 cm wide x 28cm high and set the report size to be 1 logical page = 1 psychical page.

If I make 1 logical page size = 2 physical pages both frames show up fine, 1 on the first page (physical) and the second on the next (psychical) page.

I have managed to get around the problem by using a format trigger on the suspect field and set the SRW.ATTR_MASK to set the font size smaller if the text length is over 500. However have I missed a fundamental concept in reports to be able to have a frame/report that spans more than one pyshical page.

NB: none of the frames are set to page protect.
