Carriage Returns in XSLT output

I need to output a text file with CRLF characters at the end of each line. I've explicitly put both characters into the XSLT file ( <xsl:text>&#xD;&#xA;</xsl:text> ) but the default oracle.xml.parser.v2 in JDeveloper keeps converting the CR to LF. How can I force the parser to output the CR?

This is incorrect. You can tell the processor to keep and output whitespace nodes if you use the character encodings (&#xA; &#xD; &#x20; &#x9;) and the output method is text. I am getting the correct output for space-only nodes (&#x20;) and the linefeed character (&#xA;). I am also getting a whitespace-only character for the carriage return (&#xD;) node, it is just the <em>wrong</em> character - the parser is converting it to &#xA;, so I am getting two linefeed characters where my stylesheet specifies &#xD;&#xA;.

How do I add a carriage return to the output ?

I have a listBox with 15 values. That list box is connected to a textBox. The text box prints only the selected items from the listBox (thanks try67 for the help getting that set up). Now what I would like to do is have each of the items that are selected to appear seperately in lieu of having one lone continuous line. I think what I need to do is add a carriage returne (or two) between each item selected. Here is the code I have for custom calculation script
var v = this.getField("DiagnosisList").value;
if (typeof v=="string") event.value = v;
else event.value = v.join(", ");
I triend adding /r/n but I keep geting syntax error. Thanks for any assistane.

I appreciate you assistance, but this is not going to work. The narrative on the listBox for each item is so large, that it either gets chopped off or if I set the text size to auto it is too small. Is there a way to display the list items in a format that 'wraps'? If not then I will neet to set it up with check boxes now, but here is how the format should work:
() item one
() item two
() item three
then allow certain ones to be checked,
(x) itme one
() item two
(x) item three
and based on the ones checked, those are the only ones that print
Item one.
Item two.

No Carriage return required when outputting file

Hi All.
By default, SAP inserts an end-of-line character when transferring data to the "dataset". we do not want the empty line at the end.
Here is my code :
OPEN DATASET file_path FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE
                      ENCODING DEFAULT
                      WITH SMART LINEFEED
                       MESSAGE msg.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
LOOP AT itab INTO wa.
    l_off = STRLEN( wa ).
    TRANSFER wa TO file_path LENGTH l_off NO END OF LINE.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET file_path.
ELSE.
" Error that file_not_opened.
ENDIF.
As you see, I have tried all possible ways : Opening in binary format, text format, writing with length specification, no end of line - but a blank line is always coming at the end.
Any clues?
Thanks in adv.

Hi Samant,
Here is the program, i have tested it and its working fine.
REPORT ztest1 .
DATA : BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0 ,
text(140),
END OF itab.
DATA : wa TYPE itab,
       file_path TYPE rlgrap-filename VALUE '/tmp/zt.txt',
       l_off TYPE i.
APPEND 'test1234' TO itab.
APPEND 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' TO itab.
APPEND 'test1234' TO itab.
OPEN DATASET file_path FOR APPENDING IN BINARY MODE.
ENCODING DEFAULT
WITH SMART LINEFEED
*MESSAGE msg.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
LOOP AT itab INTO wa.
    l_off = strlen( wa ).
    TRANSFER wa TO file_path LENGTH l_off.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET file_path.
ELSE." Error that file_not_opened.
ENDIF.

XSLT - New Line/Carriage Return not displaying when deployed

Hello everyone,
I have an XSL Style Sheet that is supposed to transform an XML into plain text using Oracle SOA 11g BPEL transformation. The plain text transformation is working fine, but whenever I try to add a new line or carriage return, the text output doesn't reflect that. I've tried several ways of adding the line break but none of them have worked. This is the XSLT I'm using for testing purposes:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:a="urn:oracle:b2b:X12/V4010/850" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no"/>
<xsl:template match="/a:Transaction-850">

<xsl:variable name='newline'><xsl:text>
</xsl:text></xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="a:Internal-Properties/a:Data-Structure/a:Property[@Name='InterchangeUsageIndicator']" />
<xsl:text></xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$newline" />
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text></xsl:text>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>2000ITITM</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When I try it out in an online XSLT test tool, it gives the output as expected:
P
2000ITITM
When I deploy the composite, I noticed that the XSLT in the MDS repository ignores the line breaks, *#xAs, etc. and just closes the <xsl:text/> tags:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:a="urn:oracle:b2b:X12/V4010/850" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no"/>
<xsl:template match="/a:Transaction-850">
<xsl:variable name="newline">
<xsl:text/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="a:Internal-Properties/a:Data-Structure/a:Property[@Name='InterchangeUsageIndicator']"/>
<xsl:text/>
<xsl:value-of select="$newline"/>
<xsl:text/>
<xsl:text/>
<xsl:text>2000ITITM</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
And so, because of that, it just gives me the following output:
P2000ITITM
I have no idea why it's ignoring the new line characters, so any guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you all for your help and time!
Edit: I tried concatenating as follows:
<xsl:value-of select="concat('36','
')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('24','')"/>
...which shows up as is when I look at it in the MDS repository, however the text output still shows no line breaks...

Ah I'm such a newbie. I was able to get it displayed by doing the following:
<xsl:variable name="newline" select="'
'" />
This would show up correctly in the MDS repository, too.

Carriage Return using XSL

Hi,
I have an RTF template that contains <xsl:text> 
</xsl:text> in one of the form fields because I want to force a Carriage return in the output.
The form field looks something like:
<?when?>
Some text
<xsl:text> 
</xsl:text>
More text
<?end when?>
The resulting output is Some text 
 More text. What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks,
Pat

Hi Pat,
Hmmm..looks like the XMLP processor is not preserving the carriage return while processing the document. In fact i tried giving certain hexadecimal characters for achieving the carriage returns in the resulting document, but to of no use. It doesnot work!!!
I used the following in my RTF template:
<xsl:text>Hello </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="ROWSET/ROW/ENAME"/>
<xsl:text> & Family,
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>Your id is </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="ROWSET/ROW/EMPNO"/>
XML
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<EMPNO>7839</EMPNO>
<ENAME>KING</ENAME>
</ROW>
<ROW num="2">
<EMPNO>7788</EMPNO>
<ENAME>SCOTT</ENAME>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
Desired output:
Hello King & Family,
Your id is 7839
What is achieved using XMLP 5.5:
Hello KING& Family,
Your id is 7839
Which clearly shows that the XMLP processing is not preserving the carriage returns, special symbols etc.
Tim,
Do we have any solution to this issue in the upcoming releases of XMLP?
or is there any other way to achieve the functionality?
Please reply asap.
Thx,
Nitin

Outputting XML carriage return in HTML via XSLT

Hi,
I have a scenario where I execute a View Object query in ADF to retrieve results from a particular table in the Database. I then iterate through the results in my Java managed bean and manually construct an XML file with all the appropriate tags. I then pass the XML file through a Transformer class in the Java bean based on an XSLT I have created to produce an HTML page. However I have an issue when it comes to handling carriage returns. One of the database table columns can contain carriage returns within its value but in the final HTML page the carriage returns don't have any effect and the text just displays on one line.
In the database, the values are stored with the carriage return and in SQL Developer, Toad etc this can be seen e.g. Text1 Text2 Text3 Text4 will display on separate lines. In the XML, the carriage return seems to still be there as when I open the file my element which contains the carriage returns shows each part on a new line e.g. <textElement>Text1
                                                       Text2
                                                       Text3
                                                       Text4</textElement>     (The Text2, Text3 and Text4 all start on a new line at the beginning and there's no prior white space as shown in this post)
The XML file in JDeveloper also shows carriage return arrow symbols where there is one.
The HTML page just shows them as Text1 Text2 Text3 Text4 all on one line. Inspecting the source of the HTML shows that the carriage return is in fact there as it also displays as per the XML with the values on separate lines.
Outputting the value from the View Object in Java to the log shows the value coming out like this - Text1 Text2Text3Text4, which is strange but I know the carriage returns are there so I'm not too fussed about this.
I have tried escaping the characters in the Java by doing str.replaceAll("[\\r\\n]", ""); (but replacing the "" with  
 or &x0A;) so in the XML it replaces carriage returns and line feeds with these escaped characters. However, when the XSLT parses the XML it doesn't pick these up and instead actually outputs these actual characters as they are e.g. Text1&x0A;Text2&x0A;Text3&x0A;Text4
So I can confirm that the carriage return is carrying all the way through to the XSL but I can't help but think that maybe I need to do something in the XSL to process this somehow, e.g. doing the equivalent of the 'replace' in Java but I don't know what I need to search for in the XML and also what to actually replace it with..Do I just replace it with a </BR> in HTML?
We also parse the XML using PDF and Excel XSL Transformer class and see the same results.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

That's a very commonly asked question.
HTML doesn't preserve linefeeds, except for the <pre> tag.
You'll have to replace those characters with <BR/> tags in the XSLT.
Search the Internet for terms like "XSLT HTML LF", you'll find some XSLT sample templates to handle the replacement.

My test instrument is outputting a 5 line string but labview only read until the carriage return. how can I get it to read the whole string?

I have a labview sub-VI reading the string being outputted by a pH meter. The meter outputs a 5 line string and labview is only reading up to each lines carriage return, there-by giving me 5 separate strings is there anyway to rectify this and have the 5 line read as one string?

Labview 2010

Yes, LabVIEW will automatically update. What happens is that the old serial functions still exist in 7.1 and above but the code (the block diagram) has been modified to use VISA functions. Older versions of LabVIEW are fully supported in this manner. The only way you can avoid the automatic update is to have the old serial functions in an llb and your top level VI refer to these. Having any VI that was part of vi.lib in an llb is a very bad idea and the way to fix things is to remove any VIs in the llb that are part of the LabVIEW distribution.
I don't remember how the old serial config worked and what the new version does with the VISA Configure Serial Port. Your program should only have a single serial config and you might just be able to directly replace that with the VISA configure Serial Port.

IDoc output is not showing blank fields before the carriage return

When we produce the Material Master IDoc (MATMAS), we send it to a ascii file, to a file port. That works fine when we execute BD10 to produce the IDoc and the file. But, the 3rd party mapping software wants to see every field, even if blank, in each segment it is fed. So, let's say the E1MARCM segment is 750 chars, when you add up all the field lengths in the structure, but the last 5 fields are blank. SAP does not include those trailing blanks at the end of the segment in the file. It just puts a carriage return. How can we configure it to output the trailing blanks?

Hi Mark Mathison
In IDoc ....if no value is passed in to that field then, the field wonu2019t be populated in Doc....
There is no chance of getting blank field in IDocs...

Carriage Returns in output

Hi
I am trying to read an Excel file and display output but all I get is a load of carriage return characters (hollow squares) in the output.
It is ok reading .txt files.
Is there something I need to include when reading .csv files?
If so what would that be and where do I need to include it in my code?
Here is the code I am using:
import java.io.*;
public class FileRead {
    public void file() {
        try {
            // Open the file that is the first
            // command line parameter
            FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("C:/myFile.csv");
            // Get the object of DataInputStream
            DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(fstream);
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
            String strLine;
            //Read File Line By Line
            while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
                // Print the content on the console
                System.out.println(strLine);
            //Close the input stream
            in.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {//Catch exception if any
            System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}

How can i put three carriage returns (ENTERs) in this script's output?

I have a script like
begin
select tablename list;
dbms_output.put_line(q'[Altering selected tables' datalength]' );
for i in 1..x loop
execute immediate v_sql;
end;While executing this in SQL*Plus, the output currently looks like
Altering selected tables' datalength
ALTER TABLE EMP MODIFY (ENAME VARCHAR2(30 CHAR ))
ALTER TABLE DEPT MODIFY (DEPTNO VARCHAR2(30 CHAR ))
ALTER TABLE ARCHIVE_CNG MODIFY (TMAT_ENABLED CHAR(30 CHAR ))
.But i need three ENTERs (Carriage Returns) after the text Altering selected tables' datalength.
ie the output should look like
Altering selected tables' datalength
ALTER TABLE EMP MODIFY (ENAME VARCHAR2(30 CHAR ))
ALTER TABLE DEPT MODIFY (DEPTNO VARCHAR2(30 CHAR ))
ALTER TABLE ARCHIVE_CNG MODIFY (TRIGGER_ENABLED CHAR(30 CHAR ))
ALTER TABLE ARCHIVE_CONFIG MODIFY (USER_ID VARCHAR2(30 CHAR ))
.

What is the difference between a carriage return and a newline ? Aren't they both the same?
Edited by: user659394 on May 13, 2009 10:28 AMThey are different characters, one is chr(13) and the other is chr(10). Many editors will treat them the same but by default, when you hit the Enter key on your keyboard the character generated depends on your operating system
Mac chr(13), unix chr(10), windows chr(13)||chr(10)
That's basically the difference between an ascii and a binary transfer between machines with different operating systems. In a binary transfer nothing is changed in the transfer. In an ascii transfer carriage return/newline characters are converted to the default for the operating system.

Using `n how can i add two empty line (two carriage return), between these two lines in the output file?

hi friends
using `n how can i add two empty line (two carriage return), between these two lines in the output file?
PS C:\> $env:COMPUTERNAME | add-content c:\file.txt
PS C:\> $Env:USERDOMAIN | add-content c:\file.txt
i tested "$env:computername`n`n`n$env:userdomain" | add-content c:\file.txt but it results in
myPCMyDomain
but i wanted the contents of the output file be like this:
MyPC
#empty line here
#empty line here
MyDomain
i tested many other forms but didn't work.
thanks

I tried it, as well. The line breaks were respected in the PowerShell console, Programmer's Notepad, and Word; they weren't in Notepad.
You are using a Unicode file. Locale is what?
If you just want notepad compatible line breaks then do this:
del file.txt ; "$env:computername`r`n`r`n`r`n$env:userdomain" | add-content file.txt ;notepad file.txt
Look in hex to see that `n is ^L or 0xA and is only one character. CrLf is 0xD 0xA - two characters.
My programmers editors and VS all understand a single ^L as a line break so does PowerShell. Only DOS/Notepad and other utilitis don't understand this..
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Carriage Returns and Tabs in XML element

I have a number of carriage returns and tabs within an xml element. When I take that element I would like it to transform to html in which I am then displaying within a JEditorPane. However, when I do this it is one long string. I have tried the xml:space="preserve" within that element and this still is not working.
Here is part of the xml with the carriage return line feeds. The element that I am talking about is called pseudocode. You can see it is displayed correctly below.
Design Document XML : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><design-doc><title-page><title>Testing Document</title><class-prepared-for>Lloyd</class-prepared-for><authors>Ben Garbers</authors><date-created>September 23, 2004</date-created></title-page><introduction text="This is the introduction.

if (player =null)
     NullPlayerException;
          if (NOT (isPlayerNameExist(player)))
               throw PlayerNameNotExistException;
          /* Ensure player name exist in the team already*/
          i ? 1;
          while (i <= length(mPlayers)) {
               if (mPlayers.mPlayerName != playerName)
                    throw PlayerNameNotExistInTeamException;
this.mPlayers ? this.mPlayers - player;</pseudocode>
However, when I do the transformation I get the following with the pseudocode:
/* Ensure that player name exist in the system*/if (player =null)     NullPlayerException;          if (NOT (isPlayerNameExist(player)))               throw PlayerNameNotExistException;          /* Ensure player name exist in the team already*/          i ? 1;          while (i <= length(mPlayers)) {               if (mPlayers[i].mPlayerName != playerName)                    throw PlayerNameNotExistInTeamException;}this.mPlayers ? this.mPlayers - player;
It looks like it adds some spaces but no carriage returns or line feeds.
My transformation code is the following:
     public ParseFile(String xmlString) {
          try {
          //Here we will load the correct style sheet for the message
          //that will be formatted.

          URL url = this.getClass().getResource(urlString);
          System.out.println("URL to style sheet = " + url.toString());
          String styleSheetName = url.getFile();
          System.out.println("Style sheet name : " + styleSheetName);
          InputStream styleSheetInputStream = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(urlString);
          //We will than load our SAXParerFactory and parse the message.

          XMLReader sax2parser = sp.getXMLReader();
          //NO Validation done on for this because we do NOT have a DTD.
          sax2parser.setFeature(
               "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",
               false);
          sax2parser.setContentHandler(new FileContentHandler());

          char[] messageCharacterArray =
               new char[xmlString.length()];
          // we then put the xml string into the character array.
          messageCharacterArray = xmlString.toCharArray();
          // after this ew end up creating a CharArrayReader that will be used by the Sax
          // parser to parse the xml.
          CharArrayReader xmlCharArrayReader =
               new CharArrayReader(messageCharacterArray);
          // we put the xml character array within the Input Source which will then be parsed
          // by the Sax2 parser.

          SAXSource source = new SAXSource(in);
          transformer.transform(source, result);
          String s = bos.toString();
          StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
          //This will make sure the Version Line is not shown.
          BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new StringReader(s));
          String line = "";
          while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                    sb.append(line);
          bos.close();
          br.close();
          formattedXmlString = sb.toString();
          System.out.println("--------------------------------");
          System.out.println(formattedXmlString);
          System.out.println("--------------------------------");
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
I have been searching and trying to figure this out forever. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bottom line is that I want carriage returns and tabs to work when transferring from the xml to xsl.

I get the following line when adding the <pre> tags.
/* Ensure that player name exist in the system*/if (player =null)     NullPlayerException;          if (NOT (isPlayerNameExist(player)))               throw PlayerNameNotExistException;          /* Ensure player name exist in the team already*/          i ? 1;          while (i <= length(mPlayers)) {               if (mPlayers[i].mPlayerName != playerName)                    throw PlayerNameNotExistInTeamException;}this.mPlayers ? this.mPlayers - player;
On the screen this is shown on 1 line. It looks like the tabs are working correctly. However, the carriage return, line feeds do not seem to be working. The xml that is pushed into the transformation has the carriage returns and line feeds and is formatted correctly. There has to be something happening when the xsl takes the xml String. When I add <BR></BR> within the xml that doesn't seem to work either.
I am really sumpted. If you could help DrClap I would really be appreciated.

XSL mapping of ARTMAS IDoc - carriage returns and white space

Hi all. I have tried all sorts here and am completely stuck. I am mapping an article master ARTMAS IDoc using XSL mapping and an extra carriage return and white space characters are being added to the FIELD1 and FIELD2 fields of the E1BPE1MARAEXTRT segment and I don't know why! These fields contain all our bespoke field values joined together so they are 229 and 250 characters long respectively, which I think is related to the problem. The mapping program looks like this:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<ARTMAS04>
<IDOC>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/EDI_DC40"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MATHEAD"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MARART"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MARAEXTRT"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MAKTRT"/>
<xsl:for-each select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MARCRT">
    <xsl:if test="(PLANT='D100') or (PLANT='D200') or (PLANT='D300')">
      <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MARMRT"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MEANRT"/>
</IDOC>
</ARTMAS04>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I have a test IDoc going through this and the first 3 characters of the FIELD1 are "BIK". If I look at the source of the XML file, the problem area looks like this:
<E1BPE1MARAEXTRT SEGMENT="1">
      <FUNCTION>004</FUNCTION>
      <MATERIAL>000000000000895649</MATERIAL>
      <b><FIELD1>
        BIK</b>      0 0.00 T                                    000000001CARRERA FURY 04 20"     CARRERA FURY 04 20" 2005092420040622    X                    00000000   20031104 00200406140000000000                    0.00 0000000
      </FIELD1>
You can't really see it above, but there is a carriage return and 8 white spaces before the BIK. Where does this carriage return and white space come from?! Any help would be really appreciated - this is driving me crazy!
Many thanks,
Stuart Richards

Stuart,
I think I know the cause to your problem. I am not an XSLT programmer but based on searching this forum I found how I can acheive the carriage return at the end of my document. Your xsl statement is as follows:
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="yes"/>
Change the indent value from yes to no. This should remove the carraige return. Hope this works for you.
I actually need a carriage return and line feed on my document so I am still stuck. All I have acheived is the carraige return.
Thanks,
Jim

Carriage Return Problem

Hello,
I have written some code which extracts data from a MySQL
database and stores it in a CSV file using CFFILE.
However, the database includes data inserted from an HTML
textarea form element which is stored in a MySQL text field. The
textarea data includes carriage returns which, when written to a
CSV file, force a new line which makes the data messy.
Is there a way of removing the carriage returns?
Many thanks,
Simon

I recently had to deal with a similar situation. The
differences are:
1. My file is pipe delimited.
2. My source data comes from a vendor application, not an
html form.
The following code worked for me.
<cffile action="write" nameconflict="overwrite"
addnewline="no" output=""
file="d:\dw\dwweb\work\#CaseFileName#">
<cfoutput query="casedata">
<cffile action="append"
file="d:\dw\dwweb\work\#CaseFileName#"
output="#caseid#|strip a bunch of
fields|#theatre_mcase#|#Replace(pre_op_diag, chr(10), ' ',
'all')##chr(13)#">
</cfoutput>

Oracle Reports 6i Delimied Format and Carriage Returns

Hi
I'm using Oracle Reports 6i to generate a report to a text file using delimited format so I can read it in Excel. I've done some testing putting some information in the layout but it seems that all my data is generated in one line. It does not generate the carriage return for the multiple rows I need. Is this standard functionality?. If so, that means I have to generate the file using PL/SQL to get the control I want?

Whew...lot's of questions...let's see if I can help (at least a little)...
1. Quite possibly, the user is/was pulling the image from the database? I do this in my environment, so it might be worth a look.
2. You should be able to print in any format from the web. You may need to adjust your destype/desname/desname parameters.
3. Only thing I can think of here is that maybe the original report was not written using a standard web-friendly font?
4. There's a couple of ways you can get data into an excel file:
A. Use DDE and poke the data right into it (messy when you need to print the regular Oracle report too).
B. Add an option to print to file and set the desformat to DELIMITEDDATA. Be sure to go through the data model and set Exclude from XML Output to 'Yes' for fields you don't need. Also, be aware that this may not come out in the same order as they do on the printed report. You can read about this on Metalink.
Hopefully that helps you a little bit. :)
