NVision report through Report Book generating special characters

Problem generating nVision Tabular report using Report Book. Reports brings special characters on two tabs after half way down the report. When we run the same report through two-tier mode it comes out clean. Tested the production and test layouts, they both bring the special characters. Running Peoplesoft Application 8.8, People Tools 8.45, MS office 2000 SR-1 Professional (both on server and the client computer.
Appreciate any input on this case.

Hi,
Developer 6i does not support PDF subset (that is the easiest way to achieve this). In 6i you can try the following approach.

  • Vendor Ageing Report Through Report Painter

    Dear All
    As per my company requirement we are trying to develop vendor ageing report through report painter, by using library 8A4 (EC CPA: Drill Down Open Item), our requirement is all normal items and some special GL transactions (Not all) has to flow in this report.
    In FKI4 / FKI5 if we assign any special GL, then data flowing in to report relating to that particular special GL transactions only, normal items are not flowing in to report. If we not assign any special GL then all normal and special GL transaction are flowing in to report.
    Can anybody suggest how to restrict flow of some special GL transaction data in to report. Our requirement is all normal transaction along with some specified special GL transaction data has to flow in to report. Points will be rewarded on helpful answer.
    Thanks & Regards
    Madhava

    Hi Madhava
    You can pull all values whether Sp GL or Normal GL values. For a particular 'Column' if you assign Sp Gl Indicator you will fetch all Sp Gl Values in that column. Same way in other column, you dont assign Sp Gl Indicator, instead you calculate manually as shown below;
    In a similar fashion you can calculate all values for (00-30), (31-60) ...and so on.
    Hope this clears all your doubts?

  • Drill Down Report through Report Painter

    Dear All
    I am looking solution for Drill Down Reporting through Report Painter.
    Kindly Help me for the same.
    Thanks in Advance
    Alok

    Hi Alok,
    All the report writer reports and report painter reports will have the ability of drill down. You can create a report using  T Code GRR1 and GR31. Create a report group T Code GR51 and assign the report to the report group. Generate the report group using T code GR55. One the report is executed double clik on any line item, the system will take you to the drill down options.

  • Custom PDF/RTF reports with Cocoon (problem with special characters)

    Hi all,
    I've setup application (APEX 3.0.1) with some custom PDF reports (using Cocoon 2.1.10),
    I'm generating my own hierarchical xml structure, using query with xmlelement() and xmlagg() functions,
    I cannot use built-in xml generator, because I need to get master-detail report with sub-grouping.
    Everything works fine if data in report doesn't contains special characters like "&",
    but Cocoon stops processing XML data when it found special character, following error is written to cocoon log:

    This error occur when Cocoon process folowing XML entity:
    <PRZEDMIOT><![CDATA[PPHU "T&M" Ltd.]]></PRZEDMIOT>
    I tried to escape "&" character with CDATA section, but it didn't work.
    I tested following alternatives:
    <pre>
    <PRZEDMIOT>PPHU "T&M" Ltd</PRZEDMIOT>
    <PRZEDMIOT><PPHU &quot;T&amp;M&quot; Ltd.></PRZEDMIOT> --remove '<' and '>' characters
    <PRZEDMIOT><![CDATA[PPHU "T&M" Ltd.]]></PRZEDMIOT>
    </pre>
    but I still get the same error.
    Can anyone help me with this ?
    Thanks
    Tomasz K.

    Ok, I found that only '&' and '%' characters breaks Cocoon processing.
    The workaround is to use replace() function and change:
    '&' to '%26' and '%' to '%25', but I think that is a dirty way...
    Other characters like " - 'double citation' are succesfully escaped with xmlcdata() function.
    Perhaps someone know the simpler way to get Master/Detail PDF reports from APEX without using BI Publisher ???
    Actually I have page process invoked by button, which generates XML data, post it to Cocoon with UTL_HTTP and save generated PDF to database table (for future use).
    The same button invokes branch to URL with download procedure.
    Standard APEX reporting is not very usefull for me, because I don't know how to generate "complex" documents, with several grouping sections.
    I will be gratefull for any aid.

  • Reports with output to excel - special characters not displayed correctly.

    Hi,
    I have a portal with data from 5 continents. In many places special or national characters are used in names. My portal can show most of these characters correctly and so can my version of Microsoft Office Excel. When text with these characters are copy/pasted from the screen to an excel sheet, they are also shown correctly in excel. The problem arises in portal reports, where output is set to Excel, then special characters are often displayed as strange double characters, for example á is shown as á . Does anybody have a solution to that?
    Thanks
    Arne

    No answers have been posted yet and now I have found a solution myself. The portal report is run and output set to Excel. The resulting file is opened, and a new row is inserted in the top of the sheet. In the first field in this row is written the characters *\xEF\xBB\xBF*. It is called a UTF-8 BOM, and when written in the start of a text file, it will tell the program that opens it, that UTF-8 encoding is used.<br><br>
    The file is saved with the file type CSV (semicolon separated) (*.csv) and excel is closed. When you click on the CSV-file, it is opened by excel, and now all characters with accents, circumflexes and umlauts are shown correctly.<br><br>
    The solution was found here: http://www.roosmaa.net/importing-utf-8-csvs-in-excel/

  • How to transport generated reports through report painter

    Hi All,
    We are upgrading from 4.6 to ECC6. Previously somebody created reports for Finance  through report painter, now in the new system they are two to three system generated reports which are produced by report paintyer (I guess) are retrieveing wrong data.
    So I debugged the generated reports and found two locations
    1. generated report as syntax error
    2. at selection it is having an additional filter with company code for each table  like coss, cosp, cospp which I dont find that filter in the old 4.6 generated report, I modified the generated report but problem is that it dont give me any transport number.
    So these reports are client specific, can any one suggest me how to transport these changes to quality and production environment.
    I tried with transaction GCTR , but it is failing when it is released.
    Can any one suggest me.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I think this is feasible in standard.
    You can look at cost center report 1VK>1S3W-001 (S_ALR_87013634) as an example.

    Hi Ravi,
    Could you please review note 156690 which explains how you can create a report-writer/report-painter
    report for selection with WBS element groups? Please take the following into consideration:
    1. A library can be a library for project reporting containing the shortcut PS. This library the must do the object selection regarding the characteristic OBJNR (object number) only ->characteristic OBJNR active. The characteristics PSPID, POSID and AUFNR must not be inactive here.
    2. Or a library can be a library for generic reporting with repor-writer and report-painter. This library must not contain shortcut PS. In this library you can activate characteristics PSPID, POSID and AUFNR. Characteristic OBJNR must not be active here.
    Thanks a lot and kind regards,
    Enrique

  • Polish characters in Report through Report Service

    Hi,
    I have problem with ias9i (9.0.2). Firstly, I have installed ias9i infrastructure and then ias9i businss logic and forms. Unfortunately when I'm running reports with polish fonts I see mysterious character which are not the same as I get used to see when everything is ok.
    In all Oracle_Home I have set the same NLS_LANG. When I see source of report (JSP page) I see polish fonts correctly. I also correct
    encoding to WINDOWS-1250. After I run this report using rwservlet when I see source of generated file I can notice WINDOWS-1250 but UTF-8.
    I don't understand this situation.
    If Someone has any idea how I can workaround this problem I will be grateful.
    Thank You for Interest

    Thre are two issue:
    1. When you have a web layout in report with different NLS_LANG other then the default, there was an issue where the NLS_LANG was not picked properly. For this, you need to go to web view enditor and change the character set to desired NLS_LANG you need. With this, when you run the report to web, you will get the proper characters.
    2. Coming to Report servlet, it picks the locale information from machine locale and NLS_LANG specified in Reports reistery is not considered. That is the reason, you end up with UTF-8 encoding, since report servlet writes the report output by setting the http header based on machine locale where oc4j is running. This issue is resolved in Reports 9.0.2.2 patch. With this patch, you can define the desired character set in the before report value in Report escape section of report property. This remain same as it was in Reports 6i. With this, you will see the proper characters in web html output and the auto encoding in browser will work fine.
    In case you wish to run the reports under different nls_lang setting from same report server, you can go for dynamic switching feature which is available from reports 9.0.2.1 patch.
    thanks

  • Report link not working for special characters

    Hi
    I am passing parameters from one report to another using Column Link... Everything is working fine, with the exception when there is a special character (&) within the customer name... When I click on such links I am getting an error messge... For example:
    H&R Block became H&amp;R Block Please advice...

    Consider the translate function. I am using this successfully when passing our item numbers from one page to another.
    select '<a href=f?p=&APP_ID.:2110:&SESSION.::NO::P2110_NEW_ITEM_NBR:'
    || translate(iim.item_nbr, ' &+', 'zyx') || '>'
    || iim.item_nbr
    || '</a>' item_nbr
    from inv_item_master iim
    ...etc
    Basically, in this case, translate will replace all occurrences of space with lower case z, ampersand with lowercase y, and plus sign with lowercase x.
    Then, on the destination page, 2110 in this case, I "translate" "z" to a space, "y" to an ampersand, and "x" to a plus sign, in my report query on pg 2110.
    I'm on VPN right now so I don't have easy access to my sources, but check the Oracle SQL reference or Google oracle translate.
    Also, consider signing your post so we know who to address when we reply.
    Hope this helps,
