Yellow Color, printing with ////////////// on classical report print outs?

Hi Experts,
I hv been used the COL_NEGATIVE and COL_TOTAL in my classical report for the SubTotal purpose. On the screen, they r looking fine.
But,
When am printing it on SAP Printer, am getting like, /////////////////////// over my totals!
So,
Is it my printer fault?
OR it is a property of theses clours? I mean, I need to change the clour to like, CLO_KEY!
thanq.

Hi
No doubt it is purely a Printer problem
certain printers will behave like that for colors
I hope there is some OSS note also reg this
If you wants to take out print of the Report
better don't give colors to the fields and the data

Print Logo in Classic Report (Write Method,Not ALV)

Hi All,
I'm currently doing conversion of the All the Classic Report with addition of Header with 'LOGO'.
I'm willing to find out that Function (CALL FUNCTION 'WWW_GET_MIME_OBJECT') is only able for display but not show out during printing.
Is that any method, I can do it(Print with Logo) without conversion to SAP Script or Smartform that was exhausted.
*Please take note is Classic Report with Write Method (Line by Line), Not ALV.
Thank you all in advance
Regards,
Trevor Wong.

Hi,
It is possible to include logo in classical report but its not possible to print logo in classical report. It can be done in ALV's.
Write the code in Top-of-page event in ALV.
The following is the code for inserting the logo in ALV.
FORM TOP_OF_PAGE.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE'
       EXPORTING
           I_LOGO             = 'ENJOYSAP_LOGO'
            IT_LIST_COMMENTARY = GT_LIST_TOP_OF_PAGE.

Logo not printing in classical report

hello friends,
i have displayed logo in classical report but while taking printout its not showing any image in printout.
pls suggest.
Regards,
Sunny

Hi Sunny,
Printing logo is not possible in classical using write statments, but it is possible using ALV grid.
Still you can refer to these links:-

How to print some text in BOLD in a classical report

Hi,
I need to print some selected text in BOLD in classical report.
Went through SDN forum...came across some suggestions like using class cl_dd_document and its functions..
The problem is that one of its function "add_text" allows to highlight text...but the display function "display_document" requires a container to display, whereas mine is a simple classical report...am i wrong somewhere..or is there any other method to do the same...
Thanks!!

Hi Deepti,
I am not sure that is possible on a classical report ntu you can use colors to highlight a part of the report output in order to check the various options you have with format is to check F1 on format.

How to print the data as a bold letters in classical report

Hi Friends,
            I want to print the some data in the classical report as a   BOLD letters. What is the way to do..
Thanks and Regards,
Surya

Hi Surya,
Am pasting some data from help.sap.com , I think the addition of LINE to the command as shown below might be necessary:
REPORT demo_list_print_control LINE-SIZE 60.
TABLES spfli.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION: 'SABLD' LINE 1,
                        'SAOFF' LINE 2,
                        'SAULN' LINE 3.
GET spfli.
WRITE: / spfli-carrid,   spfli-connid, spfli-cityfrom,
           spfli-airpfrom, spfli-cityto, spfli-airpto.
If in table T02DD, the printer control characters for the print-control codes SABLD, SAOFF, and SAULN are defined as in the figure above, the system formats the output as follows:
1996/03/13 SPFLI 1
AA 0017 NEW YORK JFK SAN FRANCISCO SFO
AA 0064 SAN FRANCISCO SFO NEW YORK JFK
DL 1699 NEW YORK JFK SAN FRANCISCO SFO
DL 1984 SAN FRANCISCO SFO NEW YORK JFK
LH 0400 FRANKFURT FRA NEW YORK JFK
The print format for the first line is set to bold, using the print-control code SABLD. The print-control code SAOFF turns off bold style, starting from the second line. Using the print-control code SAULN, the system underlines all lines starting from line 3.
Cheers,
Aditya

Disable standard print option in the classical report

Hi,
I want to disable the standard print option in my classical report. How can i do that? Thanks in Advance.

Yes it will come.
Go to SE41. Create a Status say ZSTAT. In that assing some function code
to print icon in menu bar say 'ZPRINT'.
When you are done with this. Go to your program and insert following line after START-OF-SELECTION.
SET PF-STATUS 'ZSTAT' EXCLUDING 'ZPRINT'.
Then you will get disable icon for printer icon.
hope this helps you.
Enjoy SAP.

Classic report - Condition evaluated for every row

APEX 4.2.2
I am seeing something strange in a classic report region. A report started to fail at run-time with a strange error about bad syntax. When I run the page in debug mode, I see the following
print column headings
rows loop: 30 row(s)
...Execute Statement: begin wwv_flow.g_boolean := '' is not null;
end;
......Result = false
...Execute Statement: begin wwv_flow.g_boolean := '' is not null;
end;
......Result = false
...Execute Statement: begin wwv_flow.g_boolean := 'string with a embedded ' single quote' is not null;
end;
......Result = true
Looks like the APEX engine is evaluating a boolean expression after rendering and each and every row in the report. And for some strange reason, it is using a piece of data from my query's resultset and failing because of the bad syntax introduced due to the single-quote in the string.
I have never seen this before. Any idea what is going on?
Thanks

Howdy Paul, sorry should have provided all the details. No, this is a standard generic column template. Ah, you are right, drat I should have looked closer. The template has use a condition to show either a highlighted row or normal one. Sorry for the false alarm, I can take it from here. Enjoy your flight :-)

No data found when adding column link to classic report

Hi,
Oracle 11g r2, APEX 4.1.1.00.23.
I have some classic reports.
I go to Report Attributes, then I click Add Column Link in the "Tasks" right menu, it adds me a column link, I just add some text for the link and a page to go to.
Then I run the report and I get :
report error:
ORA-01403: no data foundTested with several classic reports on multiple pages.
Debug mode shows me :
0.43816     0.00240     ...Execute Statement: select distinct [...] order by 3,11 ,4

Did I missed something ?
Thank you.

- Create a new Region of type Classic Report, then set Region source as :
begin
return test_return_query;
end;- Run the page, the report works as expected
- Go to Report Attributes and click Add Column Link (and just specify a text for the link and a page to go to).
- Run the page, you should get the error !This might be unorthodox but try wrapping your returned query within an SQL statement, like so:
   begin
      return 'SELECT t.* FROM ('||test_return_query||') t';
   end;
I can reproduce it on oracle.apex.com if needed...If my suggestion doesn't work, I think this might be the only option. You could create a new forum posting with the word "BUG" in the title, along with a link to this thread and the relevant workspace details (with guest developer credentials).

There are a number of ways to create a fieldcat.
For the purpose of this example i will build the fieldcatalog manualy
by populating the internal table fields individually and then
appending the rows. This method can be the most time consuming but can
also allow you more control of the final product.
Beware though, you need to ensure that all fields required are
populated. When using some of functionality available via ALV, such as
total. You may need to provide more information than if you were
simply displaying the result
              I.e. Field type may be required in-order for
                   the 'TOTAL' function to work.

Oracle APEX Classic Report Break Formatting

I created a classic report. Under report attributes I defined Break Formatting as "First, Second and Third Column".
The data columns for this report are Domain, Discipline, TechnologyArea and Products.
Domain is the parent. Discipline is a child of domain. TechnologyArea is the child of Discipline. Products are children of TechnologyAreas.
Domain prints in the first column, Discipline in the second, TechnologyArea in the third and Product in the fourth. There are one to many products for any TechnologyArea - and one to many TechnologyAreas for any Discipline - and one to many Disciplines for any Domain. The report is sorted on Domain, Discipline, TechnolgyArea and Product. Therefore domain prints over and over and over. Discipline prints over and over until it changes. TechnologyArea prints several times before it changes. I don't like that.
I want the report to print Domain and not print it again until it changes. I want it to do the save for Discipline and TechnologyArea.
I set break formatting to "First, Second and Thrid Column". Now Domain prints once and does not print again until it changes. So far so good! Now Discipline prints once and does not print on subsequent rows until the discipline changes. So far so good! The TechnologyArea name prints on every row. That's not good.
Given this pattern, if there were an option for First, Second, Third and Fourth columns I think that would give me the report I want - but there's not. Can anyone tell me how to stop TechnologyArea from repeating on every row?

This look about right?
notice the last two records in the with statement are duplicates.

I did not understand the question properly before submitting this. Here it is anyway.
