Change the width of a field using XML

Hi,
I customize a report -set the width of a field- using XML but my
data is truncated.
Is it posible to set vertical elasticity for this field using
XML?
My XML file is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<report name="Rep" DTDVersion="1.0">
<layout>
<section name="main">
<field name="F_1" source="CP_FIELD" textColor="red" width="0.5"/>
<field name="F_2" source="CP_FIELD" width="0.5"
alignment="center"/>
<field name="F_3" source="CP_FIELD" width="1"/>
</section>
</layout>
</report>
I will appreciate any suggestion.
Thank you

You can change the size of the label, the text input box, and the field itself (border around the field in the design tab) - however there is one exception to being able to control the size of every field individually:
Fields that have "Labels left" or "Labels right" that are also the first field in a row will all share the same label width.
This is probably what you are encountering, this is how the fields work for now, those first in a row label left/right labels are all the same width.
Thanks,
Josh

How to change the width of a field?

Hi all,
I would like to decrease the width of a field on my report.
But I can't do it in the Property palette. I am not able to change the width property. The width of the database column is varchar2(255). I do not want to decrease the length of the database column, but only the width property of the field.
Any ideas?
Regards

As far as I knows, you can only increase the width of a
character column. If you wish to decrease it, I would think
you'd have to drop/delete the whole column and recreate it,
loosing all your data in the process (unless you create a
temporary table into which you copy the data first, and then
copy it back into the "new" column - the oracle db will truncate
the data automatically).
SQL Plus is very well suited for the task, but requires you to
write the appropriate SQL statements yourself. Other tools may
simplify this for you (I use SQL Plus myself).
Hope this helps.

How can I change the width of a field without affecting all others ?

I'm working with Text fields that have, for example Name, address, etc. on the left & the box to its right.
I'm further down the form & want to allow for a longer field description but then it changes all the formatting above.

Code snippet here below(tried this but not working for me.Sure im missing something): Trying to combine the prioritycolor and percentagecomplete together but not working
// Create object that have the context information about the field that we want to change it's output render

return "<input type='range' id='inpPercentComplete' name='inpPercentComplete' min='0' max='100' \

<output name='outPercentComplete' for='inpPercentComplete' >" + formCtx.fieldValue + "</output>%";

Hi Patrick,
It works in my test environment using your code.
I suggest follow the steps as below:
1. Save the following code as a js file (TaskListView.js) and upload it into the SiteAssets Document Library.
2. Edit the list view page.
3. Edit the list web part. Go to Miscellaneous -> JS Link.
4. Add the following URL into the JS Link textbox.
~site/SiteAssets/TaskListView.js
5. Click "OK" and save the page.
If it still not works, please check whether active the Minimal Download Strategy feature in site feature or not.

It's possible to change the width of display of a field in report ?

Hello,
In my report , I want to increase or reduce the width of a field in Paper Design according to some values.
I have used 'SRW.SET_BORDER_WIDTH(width)' function but it don't works.
How can I process ?
Regardly.

Hello,
The field width in the layout depends on its Horizontal elasticity and its content :
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/topics/htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs/rwcontxt/props/pi_lay_horizontal_elasticity.htm
If the Horizontal elasticity is set to "Variable", the field width will be automatically adjusted to its content length.

You can't change that from where you are trying because that info is coming from the database. To resize the field just open the layout editor and size the field to the size you want.

Problem while changing the width of the Indesign document through inx.

Hi Guys,
I am facing a problem related to the width of InDesign documents. Description of the problem is as follows:-
I have created an InDesign document with height = 700 and width = 500 and export this as an inx file (lets say Doc1.inx).
As "Doc1.inx" is just an xml file I have made certain changes to the height and width fields of the dcoument in it. (Height =900 and Width = 600)
For Height changes are made under following tags :- <docu>
                                                                               <docp>
                                                                                 phgt = "U_900" ;
For Width changes are made under tags :- <docu>
                                                                <docp>
                                                                  pwdt = "U_600";
Now when I opened the modified "Doc1.inx" file with InDesign the modifications for height are correctly reflected, but the width of the column doesn't gets changed. Please open the attachments to see the difference.
Attachment contains the snap shots of documents created at step 1(Initial_Doc1.indd) and step 3(Modified_Doc1.indd).
What should be the modifications we have to do in inx file to reflect the correct modified width of the document. Also is there any document or article which gives the correct understanding of the tags used in inx files.
Any help will be appreciable.

I'm having troubles getting any sensible values at all using CS -- on the other hand, you forgot to mention your version, so I figgered I could try.
(Just as an example, setting width & height to 600 pt and 900 pt -- you don't mention your units of measure either, is it meters? inches? -- I get "phgt="u_408c2000~0" pwdt="u_4082c000~0"", which doesn't make sense. Cicero's!? [*])
But further below, I can see some definitions for columns: count (colc="l_1") and some measurements in that same system, which I suspect to be the width and height you are looking for. You switch between describing you succesfully changed the width and height of the document, and complaining the column does not change. Apparently, the column width is defined in itself, rather than using the "document marges" you are used to in the interface itself.
[*] On second look, I can see more hexadecimal digits in other 'numbers'. It must be hexadecimally encoded IEEE floating point numbers -- "408c2000" decodes to 4.378906, and 4082c000 to 4.085938 -- both valid floating point numbers, but still I wouldn't know in what system.
I hope your version uses regular decimal notation!

How to change the width and height of the visible part of the of the report

I have define a report with paper size 'Letter', orientation 'landscape' and 30 columns. Dynamically I am changing width of columns and suppressing many columns of the report.
Mostly using first 16-20 columns and others get suppressed.
Now problem is that when navigating the report thru crystal viewer, a huge blank spaces getting display on right of the report. When we take jump to some part of report thru navigation tree, the whole report gets shifted to left and only blank part is visible and it is required to scroll left.
Even printing is not working correctly.
Is there any way to change the width and height of the visible part of the report in the viewer thru .net classes? Setting the width and height of the report in Load event handler doesn't help.
Example: CrystalReportViewer1.Width = 200; - is not helping.
Is there any other solution?
Please let me know.
Thanks
Mahesh Patel

Hi Yogesh,
Your suggestion 'reportDocument.PrintOptions.PaperSize=PaperSize.PaperLedger;' along with 'PaperOrientation' setting as follow works fine. I tried to switch between Landscape and Portrait depending on report width.
reportDocument.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
But problem with crystal viewer remain as it is.
While navigating report thru crystal viewer, when we take jump to some part of report thru navigation tree, the whole report gets shifted to left and it is required to scroll left.
Thanks for your very good suggestion.

How to change the lenth of existing field in sap standard table

Hi all,
can anybody help,my requirement is, how to change the length of existing field in sap standard table....
thanks in advance..

Which field are you thinking of in particular? Are you wanting to increase or decrease the length?
Some fields are used so extensively that a change to their length will mean adjusting many tables, some of them potentially very large, and hence taking a long time to adjust.
Some standard SAP programs expect certain fields to be of specific lengths and won't work if the length is changed.
Some screens could cease to work.
If you decrease length, then you could lose data.

How can i change the width of a webapp depending on the view?

In Dashcode how can i change the width of the web app depending on the width of the view. I am using the stack layout.
For example if view 1 had a width of 400 px
the web app would have a width of 400 px
if i changed to a view with a 400 px
the webap would change to have a width of 400 px
it automatically adapts the the hight of a view how do i do the same with the width.

While they may auto adjust to what it thinks is a correct width, far too often it allocates way too much room and that causes lists with 4 columns to be much longer than they need to be and without the ability to adjust them, lists look strange.
http://twitpic.com/23ro09/full is an example of the first column having been allocated too much room.

How to change the width of the bar of bar charts?

Hi,
I am using Crystal Reports 11.
I created some stacked bar charts. Now, I want to change the width of the bar. Some one told me that I can't do that because it's totally controlled internally by Crystal Reports.
Really?
If could, how could I do?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
The only way you can set the width of the bar is by going to Chart Options (Right-click Chart in Preview Mode > Chart Options > Appearance tab > Decrease the Gap Width).
Hope this helps!

How to change the width of PDF report

When i download an interactive report to a PDF. All the columns will have the same width, how to change the width of the column?
Thanks,
Jen

I don't think its possible for downloading from interactive report but let's see if anyone else has got a work around.
The other way to have absolute control over report layout is to create reports using 'Report Query' & 'Report Layout' under 'Shared Components'.
