Rave Reports Visual Designer

DataCycle component (TRaveDataCycle) - Report Tab

The "DataCycle" component is a non-visual data-aware component that you would use if you want to control iterating information from a data view. In general, a DataCycle component would be used to "Loop" or "Cycle" through the detail records until a change occurs at the master record level. This will normally be used with form based reports where one master record needs to control the printing of detail record(s) on one or more pages. The DataCycle component would be used instead of Region / DataBand combination to allow proper printing of DataText components that are placed directly on the page.

A DataCycle component is used to integrate through the data on a "form style" report that has no bands. You can think of DataCycle as a "fetch" your data and then do your printing command. Be sure that the DataCycle component is the first component on the list shown in the Tree View.
