How to generate oracle report in PCL format

Hi,
We are having an issue in our application where the output report(PDF) is getting generated in the Postscript format.
The first few lines of the output pdf are like this:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Creator: Oracle Toolkit 2 for Motif 10.1.2.0.2 PRODUCTION
%%Version: 10.1 2
%%CreationDate: (Tue Feb 12 09:37:10 2013)
However, the printer which we are using to print these PDF files accepts only PCL format and the print request is failing.
Is there a way we can change the generated report format into PCL format.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this issue is very critical to our application.
Thanks in advance.

We are trying to do this directly passing the below parameters
desformat=PDF&destype=PRINTER&desname=<PrinterName>
But the issue is the cached file which is getting generated is in PS format(Its on unix server) and printer is not accepting it.
Even if we keep the output as file and then print the file using lpr command, result is same since the PDF file is in PS format.

Hi ,
One 'simple' way is by using the DBMS_SCHEDULER db package and the procedure CREATE_JOB(....) using as job_type the value 'EXECUTABLE'...
Read for further info in 'PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference'.
If you have access to OEM ... you can configure this there using wizard.....
Other way is to use the External Procedure call capabiblity of Oracle DB Server...:

How to generate one report in multiple formats with FOP or BIP?

Hi all,
Is it possible to generate multiple formats of one report in a single "call" using Apache FOP or BI Publisher? (something similar to reports bursting).
Right now I can only select one format at a time.
Thank you,
Ana-Maria

Hi Ana-Maria,
When you enable printing on a report region or add a button to download a report query to your application, then you get a single document download. How would you see this working with "multiple formats"? Given that APEX is a development environment, you can pretty much implement anything you like. The built-in printing capabilities in APEX come with an API that allow for customization of the default functionality, e.g. you can use apex_util.download_print_document to dynamically assign report layouts at rumtime or to use you own XML data sources or XSL-FO style sheets. More relevant to you question though, there's also apex_util.get_print_document. What that allows you to do is to generate report documents inside the database and e.g. store them in database tables or email them out to a list of recipients. You can call this API as often as you like to, requesting any combination of available report formats.
The API function is documented here:

How do I generate a report in text format

How do I generate a report in text format and send it to both a file and to a printer?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I run a series of tests on multiple stations and I need to generate a report, both electronic and one to be printed for a DHR (device history record), for each station. If I use file i/o as you suggested is the preferred approach to generate an electronic file and make the report from that, or generate both the electronic and hard copy report from arrays as the measurement data is acquired. Note that the electronic data is more detailed than the data in the hardcopy report.

How to generate a report in pdf from a stored proc

Hi, i need guidance on how to generate a report in pdf from an oracle stored proc.
The environment is oracle 10gas + 10gdb.

can any one help me with it????

hi,,,
it seems OS package version conflict
Please check glibc and openmotif version (its responsible for reports)
and
Set the environment variable MALLOC_CHECK_=0 and bounce the Concurrent Managers
MALLOC_CHECK_ can be changed in two places :-
1. Add this to the $APPL_TOP/custom<TWO_TASK>_<HOSTNAME>.env
MALLOC_CHECK_=0
Then restart the concurrent managers and retest
2. Change it in the adovars.env file
Again bounce the concurrent managers and retest
THANKS (ZzZ)

How to convert Oracle reports previewer output into delimited file.

How to convert Oracle reports previewer output into delimited file if the report has more than 1000 pages.
I tried with previewer option File --> Generate to file --> Delimited file, but the report engine is crashing.Not generating .TXT file.
I observed that this option is not working for more than 400 pages.
I am using Oracle reports 6i version.
Plz suggest me to generate .TXT file from Report previewer.

You can specify a delimiter (a character or string of characters) to separate the data (boilerplate or field objects) in your report output in either of the following ways:
On the command line using the DELIMITER keyword.
In the Delimited Output dialog box or DelimitedData Output dialog box (displayed with File > Generate to File > Delimited or File > Generate to File > DelimitedData) in Reports Builder.
