Barcode and mailing label report

Hi everybody,
I am wondering if oracle report support barcode 128. If it does, how ?
Another question is how to control the number of copies mailing label printed. For example, I have a report generated a page of mailing labels, but I want some of these labels printed more copies.
thanks,
Diana

Hi Diana,
You have to follow these set up to get the barcode in Report.
1. Install the barcode font thru the control panel FONT.
2. Create a query that contains the number for barcode that you want to include in your report.
3. In paper Design View click the barcode field, and choose Appropriate Format and Font to apply the barcode font to the field.
Regarding to print N number of copies, you can mention the System parameter COPIES.
If you want 10 copies every time you can mention it as 10. Otherewise you can display the parameter in parameter form and you can give the required number of copies.
I think this will help you Diana.
Regards,
Siva.

Exporting a mailing label report to PDF shifts the address off ...

Hi.
The report is created using the wizard "File->New->Mailing Label Report". Everything looks good at the preview. Following are the dimensions:
- 4 X 1 inches
- 2 labels across, 10 down
- Paper would be 8-1/2 X 11 inches (Letter sized) (labeled) paper
- 0.5 inches page margin on top and bottom
- 0.156 inches left & right margins
- Horizontally .188 inches between labels
- Vertically NO space between labels
For this, in the Crystal Reports Designer, I used Mailing Label Type = "Address (Avery 5261)".
Issue
However, when trying to export the report to PDF and when we print the report, addresses go off the labels (shifts up slightly starting from the begining). It looks like the font sizes, etc are not maintained. Therefore, visually, addresses shifts up gradually and does not fall into labels.
Other specific details
The first address was too low, I mean after .5 inches top margin, this first address started to appear .4 inches down the margin. If we measure from top of one address to the top of next one, it is about .9 inch and not 1 inch.
Later I tried this [template|http://www.worldlabel.com/Pages/crystal-reports.htm] as well. I faced the same issue.
Had anyone worked with mailing labels report faced similar issue?
I appreciate your help

Having a print problem on a mailing label report using the merge modules.

Crystal Reports 2008 v 12.1.6.1116
when I print directly from Crystal Reports designer, the labels print correctly. If I print the report from our application software using the Crystal merge module, the top of page margin is not the same.
I am using Crystal Report 2008 Fix Pack 1.5 Merge Modules.
Any idea what might be causing this ? I do not see any settings in the CrystalReportViewer that would cause the top of page margin to change.
Note: We were using a previous version of Crystal Reports, version 11 using the merge modules and it worked just fine. After changing to the 2008 merge modules we are running into this problem.

Which Version of VS.NET you are using?
       VS 2008 v 9.0.30729.1 SP
. Which application you are developing desktop or web?
       Desktop
. Error messages you are facing?
        No error message, just the top of page margin is wrong
. Are you facing this error in development machine?
       The mailing label report works just fine printing directly from the Crystal Reports 2008 Design application. However is I try to print the exact same report using the CrystalReportViewer in the merge module, the top of page margin is different. Basically printing from the designer, there is some spacing at the top of the page, printing in the vb.net app the spacing at the time of is missing.
. Are you trying to deploy this application?
       Yes
. Operating System?
        The OS I have tried this on is XP Pro SP3 and also Vista Business SP1
. How are you deploying your application?
        We build a installshield setup to install the merge modules

Repeating same address in a Mailing Label Report

I have created a mailing label report that generates address labels from a database. I would like to pass a parameter to this report that would allow me to indicate how many occurances of each address is to be printed. For example my address file contains 10 unique addresses, I want to create 4 labels for each address. This would give me a total of 40 labels. (keeping the 4 like addresses together). not by printing the report 4 times.
Thanks for the help.

Hi Dale Nelson,
I found some information about Label Looping in Crystal. I never tried it but I think it would help you.
How to Create a Looping Label Report, Using CR9's Basic Syntax
1) Create a New Report using the Label Expert, utilizing the desired label size
2)
a) insert several fields into the label details section that will create many many details lines for the report: there will have to be   one details line for each label potentially created: these fields will not be shown in the label
b) the above fields can come from any table..in this sample report, the Customer ID field and the Order ID field are taken from Crystal's Xtreme sample database
3) The details section must have a numeric counter assigned to each record. If there is no database field that is a numeric counter, one will have to be created in the database (in this example, the numeric counter is the Customer ID)
4) create a parameter field in which the user is prompted to enter the # of labels they wish for each client/customer
insert this parameter onto the report header
5)
a) create a linking formula to insert on the details section of the main report. The formula will read something like:
        Shared x as number
        x = (x + 1/{?lblnum})
        formula = truncate(x)
b) if the client enters 6 as the number of labels they wish for each client, the above formula will be incremented by 1, for each 6 times the formula is calculated on the details sections...this ensures that the subreport is ran 6 times for each client and thus six labels are produced
6) Insert a Subreport that will contain the fields and structure of an address label
7) create a link to the subreport: from the Linking Formula (above) to the client ID (customer ID number field) in the subreport
8) blank main report details lines will now have to be suppressed. In the subreport create a formula @Null Check similar to:
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar check;
if isnull({Customer.Customer Name}) then check := 6
Insert this formula on the subreport details section and suppress it
9) in the main report, go to format the details section and select the Suppression formula button. Insert a formula similar to:
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar check;
check =6
the above two steps will ensure that main report details sections will be suppressed after the labels are printed
Notes:
> There will be one blank label printed at the end of the report.
> The order of the labels will be in the order specified by the database: if a different order is desired, this should be specified using a query or stored procedure at the database end
> A successful link is created between a manual running total [@link formula] and the subreport's Customer ID field. This link is possible as the [@link formula] formula is written in Basic Syntax, and hence is processed before the subreport link. This is not possible using earlier versions of Crystal, as the formula editor did not have the option to use Basic Syntax.

Raghavendra

Has anyone tried exporting the mailing labels report to PDF or Editable RTF

Mailing Labels Format - Universal 80104 Equivalent to Avery #5961, 4X1. We used "Mailing Labels" option while creating the report in the designed (11.5). In the designer, when we go File->New->Mailing Label...we used this.
From the Crystal Designer:
Printing directly or exporting it to Editable RTF Word and print works great.
When tried to export to PDF and print, things get messed up. Initial few on the page fall into the labels, rest just does not align to labels. Fonts seems small, and the label display seems shifted up, etc.
From our Web App, opening in the crystal report viewer and exporting to any format to print does not work at all. I mean addresses does not fall into the labels.
Does anyone experience same kind of issue?
Please help me.
Thanks

Mailing Label and Blank Page

Hi,
I created a mailing labels report using Report 10g. When I run the report with format RTF and open it in Word, the first page if great, but then it inserts a blank page, followed by the third page being correct.
Is there any way to delete the blank page?
Thanks in advance.
VC

this might be caused by MS word. check the page settings and the margin settings word assumes when you open the document.
thanks,

Mail barcode support in Crystal Reports 2008 - does it really exist?

We are looking to add mail bar codes to our existing reports. The cover letter of the report includes a mailing label and we would like to add a mail bar code underneath it. I called 888-229-2276 yesterday and explained what I wanted to do. I was instructed to download a trial version from the website and take a look at the help as this feature was added in Crystal Reports 2008. The help didn't explain much more than right click the fieled you want to bar code and select the Bar Code option listed. What this created was a regular bar code that looks like a UPC you would find in the grocery store. I tried both Azalea fonts, but got the same result.
How does one create an Intelligent Mail barcode or PostNet barcode?

Having dealt with both PostNet and Intelligent Mail Barcodes (IMB), using CR XI R1, here are a couple of things that might shed some light:
1. PostNet and IMB are vastly different, so you choose which one you want to generate. PostNet requires some calculation based on the zipcode and/or zip+5 whereas IMB requires specific information such as Mailer ID etc assigned to your company by USPS.
2. You can download a PostNet font, which can be found on the web as shareware etc. IMB font can be downloaded from USPS for free. For more info on IMB check out [https://ribbs.usps.gov/index.cfm?page=intellmailmailpieces]
3. IMB is very specific to your company and as such requires a thorough understanding of the type of mail you will be sending and if it is bulk or BRM etc etc. It would be better to consult with the USPS customer rep for your company to determine if IMB is appropriate for you.
4. PostNet is a breeze compared to IMB. All you need do is determine if the barcode will be based on zip or zip+5 and delivery point codes which determines if the barcode will contain 32, 52 or 62 bars. You then download the font from the web and off you go. Information on how to calculate/generate PostNet barcodes is all over the internet, the key is downloading the font.
I bet it is all clear as mud but feel free to post if you have more questions.

Setting Margins for Mailing Labels in Reports 6i

I would like to know how to configure the margins (vertical/horizontal properties) for different mailing label formats. I am unable to correctly set them to use for Avery labels. MS Access has a great label wizard that brings up a variety of mailing label formats and allows you to choose from the list. I have found nothing similar in Oracle Reports. Have been a DBA/developer of Oracle Applications for 20+ years. Help!

Where you set the measurement ?
Did you follow this ?
@ Report Object Navigator
1. Select Layout Model >> Main Section then properties
set Width, Height and Orientation under Section
Adjust your layout and
Try...
Hope this works..

Converting report to PDF and mailing

Hi every one,
I've gone through various threads and i'm aware of the Functional module's used to
convert the report to pdf and mail it back.Like CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF and for mailing we have SEND_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
I've worked with this but my problem is i'm not able to convet the report output to pdf.When i'm doing this i'm getting the output of my functional module converted to pdf like the number of header and item records available for the given data in the selection screen.
Since all the threads i've gone through is converting the single internal table which has the output to pdf.
But i've got the REUSE_ALV_HIERSQL_LIST_DISPLAY, hierarchial report which as known has got two internal tables.How to the same to this kind of report....More over is it possible to convert report to pdf in online without transfering it to spool and getting the spool id to convert it to pdf.........
Any help or suggestions will surely be rewarded......
Thanks in Advance.....

Here is the complete code for you;
It Converts spool request into PDF document and emails it.

Automating Generation of reports and mailing it.

Hi,
How do I automate generation of reports and mail it through the Oracle Server. The messaging system being implemented out here is Lotus Domino Server 4.6
Regards,
Alka Mishra.

Can you tell me more how to create store procedure UTL_HTTP or give me example and why I need to create a DB table with a DB trigger and give example too.
can I send to Internet email (if I have email address) or Unix mail only?
Thank you very much
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by The Oracle Reports team:
Assuming you are using Developer 1.6.1 or later and version 7.3 or later of Oracle database
1. set up the Reports server for web reporting (see whitepaper on configuring reports server available on otn for more info, and of course the doc).
2. Write a set of stored procedures that use UTL_HTTP to send an HTTP request to the Reports server. You can specify all the parameters to run a report on the URL (incl. running and mailling a report).
3. Create a DB table with a DB trigger that call the pacakged procedure you just wrote. Now every time a row is inserted (for example) into the table, a report can be run and the output mailed.
This will be made much easier/simpler in Reports 7 - but that is a way off.

Problem to display Formular,letter and label Report

Hi all,
I use formular, letter and label reports.When i run them in paper layout, they display fine but not in web layout.
I would like to know, how can i fix this problem.
Thanks for ur help!
TYAG

hello,
there is a significant difference between desformat=html and the web layout in 9i. where desformat=html (or htmlcss for that matter) generates the paper layout to HTML, the web layout is a complete different layout model and needs to be created separate from the paper layout. the wizard will not show you things like label, form and letter when you create a web layout, since those layout types don't make sense in a web layout, where we are talking about pure HTML generation.
what i am still not clear about is what you mean by "at runtime" your labels don't show. do you mean, when you run the report, it does not produce any output ?
thanks,
ph.

Running latest version on OS X and mail. What happened to the icon labeled "not junk?" Is there any way to brink it back?

Running latest version on OS X and mail. What happened to the icon labeled "not junk?" Is there any way to bring it back? Thanks in advance!

Make sure your Junk Mail settings are properly set up, right now neither of those messages are marked as Junk Mail. When Mail identifies an item as Junk Mail or you manually do, it will add the text "Mail thinks this message is Junk Mail" or "You marked this message as Junk Mail" to the message. Right now this just looks like regular SPAM that you might get that hasn't been properly identified as Junk Mail or when Junk Mail Filtering is no enabled. Remember Mail needs to learn what is and is not Junk Mail over time, so if you have recently reset your mail settings through a reinstall or the like, it may still be learning.
1. Do you have a Junk folder (system created) as one of your mailboxes? If there is none, it means that Junk Mail filtering is not enabled or has been enabled but the system has yet to identify any mail as Junk.
2. If you do have a Junk folder, try dragging a piece of mail into the folder to see if the banner I am referring to appears. It should. You should be able to unmark the mail and drag it it back in your inbox.
3. If you manually mark the mail as Junk, does it move into the Junk folder and have the banner I am referring to? It should.
4. If any of the above is not happening, first check your mail settings using the guides below:
Mail (Yosemite): Reduce junk mail in your inbox
Mail (Yosemite): If junk mail filters aren’t working correctly
If all seems correct and it's still not working right, try rebuilding your mailbox:
Mail (Yosemite): Rebuild mailboxes
If none of these help you, please post back and we'll try something else. Oh, and clear out your Previous Recipients window of any unwanted email addresses. Anything listed in there is usually ignored by the Junk Mail filters.

I'm trying to print onto mailing labels, but it won't line up correctly. It looks right on the template and the 1st row prints right. The text keeps moving down a line on each row of labels, preventing it from printing the rest of them correctly.

I'm trying to print onto mailing labels, but it won't line up correctly. It looks right on the template and the 1st row even prints correctly. The text keeps moving down a line on each row of labels, so the rest of it will not print correctly.

There are several ways you can go about this.
1. Most labels come with Word templates or downloadable Word templates. Simply open those in Pages.
2. Make a table with extra cells for the thin spaces between the labels and skinny those down to match the spaces. ie You have big fat cells for the actually labels and thin narrow empty ones for the gaps.
3. Make a floating Text box the size of one label, format with dummy text just the way you like it.
+Menu > Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder text+
You can now drag and drop snippets of text, the addresses etc onto those and it will replace them matching the style of the existing text.
You duplicate that text box into position of the other labels by clicking on it with the command kety held down, then drag copy it up or across with the option and shift keys held down. Fine tune the positions with:
+Inspector > Metrics > Position+

Send mail from report with DESNAME and DESFORMAT

j have tried to send a mail from a report to "outlook express" passing as parameters the email of the user to send the mail.
i have passed as parameter list :
DESCNAME = [email protected]
DESFORMAT = mail
but aoutlook express don't start.
It start only if i press the icon "mail" on report, and don't put the email adress in the "send to" field....
There is a reason or there is an error or it is impossible ????
Than'k from "il vampiro italiano"

Hello Mike,
In order to mail a report from Reports Builder 6i using the system's default MAPI client, you would need to set DESTYPE=MAIL, DESNAME=<email address of recipient> and DESFORMAT=<format of report output>.
