Horizontal-table-break command will be helpful here to repeat the number of columns to the next page.

No data found, dynamically based on the data in xml. here is the sample , if you have row, show the data in table. use count() function to identify whether the row exists or not. I just used this this function, but you can very well use any expression to evaluate this condition to be true.
