I can't figure out how to print a report on multiple columns. I need to print something very simple on a page of small Avery stickers.
Googling the issue leads me to conclude that the official BIRT way of doing this would be to use a crosstab element with computed columns, which Maximo does not support.
Help?

Wow, Yahoo is showing that I posted this question 1 hour ago. I posted it like 8 hours ago. Weird.
Anyways, I solved the problem. No help needed with the multi-column report. I had to create 4 datasets (because I needed 4 columns) all with the same query, make a grid with 4 columns, put a table in each cell in the grid, bind one dataset per table, access the rownum and use that as a filter on each table. Used BirtMath to peg those where (rownum divided by 4) had a MOD = 0 to the last column; (rownum + 1)/4 mod = 0 to generate into the 3rd column, etc.
