Creating a boilerplate object for text that displays every other page

To create a boilerplate object for text that displays every other page:

  1. Create a boilerplate text object where you want it to appear on the page, either in the margin, or in a repeating frame (expand the repeating frame to make room for the boilerplate text, below the fields in the repeating frame).

  2. Double-click the boilerplate text object to display the Property Inspector. Under the Advanced Layout node, set the Format Trigger property by typing the following code in the PL/SQL Editor:

    
    function XXX_FormatTrigger return boolean is page_num number; 
    begin 
      srw.get_page_num(page_num); 
      if mod(page_num, 2) = 0 then 
        return(false);    
      else
        return (true); 
      end if; 
    end;
    
  3. Run the report to see the boilerplate text appear every other page.
