Character mode report no new line after header.

I am using Reports 6i. I have a character mode report with a header and body. I am outputing it as a .cvs file. The problem is that there is no live feed after the header. This means when I load the .csv file into excel the first row has the headers and the first data record, after that is it OK. Eatch row in the spreadsheet has a single data record/row.
any ideas?

Character Mode Reports 11g

Hello,
we are upgrading to 11g, and all our reports are character mode formatted via .prt files, since character mode reports cannot be generated in pdf format, we don`t know how to access the reports, because we have dot matrix printers and the pdf don't work with these printers
Is there a way to run character mode report with preview screen and generate the right format (using the prt files we already have) ?
Thanks in advanced

You actually need 2 reports. See the Report Builder Help:
About creating an ASCII (character-mode) report
To create a character-mode report, you first create a bit-mapped report, then convert that report to an ASCII (character-mode) report. The process will create a new character-mode version of your bit-mapped report; the original bit-mapped report remains unchanged.
There is a step-by-step explanation in the Help.

Character mode reports-another question

hi again!
i tested to create a new character mode report with a simple query, i sent the report output to a text file, because i want to import it into excel, but the content of the text file is very strang, i always thought this happend because i didn't create the reports in character mode, but now the same things happens
output looks like this:
!R!SEM6;EXIT;%-12345X@PJL
@PJL SET ECONOMODE=OFF
@PJL SET PAGEPROTECT=OFF
@PJL SET RESOLUTION=600
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL
E*t600R&u600D*r0F!R!sir2;exit;&
any idea?

Hi!
The contents of the file you got look like the PostScript. Check the MODE system parameter - it must be set to "Character".

Oracle Reports(Character Mode) issue with 17 CPI ---URGENT

Hi,
I am in-process of Character Mode report development for Purchase order. Report is working perfectly with Font Courier and 10CPI. Now Client wants report with 17 CPI; when I changed the setup at printer level to 17CPI; my report content got shrink-ed to 50%. I tried to change the main section width in report builder from 80 to 102 and stretch the fields but no effects to output.
Please suggest me the correct approach to get output as per pre-printed stationary in 17 CPI.

Shishir

when I changed the setup at printer level to 17CPI; my report content got shrink-ed to 50%. I tried to change the main section width in report builder from 80 to 102 and stretch the fields but no effects to output. What are the steps you followed to change this setup?
Did you modify the initialization string in the printer driver as mentioned in these docs? Did you bounce the CM after doing the necessary changes?

Help with character mode report

Hi,
I have a character mode report which has a query that generates output of data records that are 100 chars long.
My requirement is to add a header and a footer record that are only 80 chars long. I created a field of width 80 chars in the header and footer sections of layout whose source is a placeholder column of width 80 chars. I have set the width property to 80 in the properties of header and footer section also.
But when I run the report I see that the header and footer records are still 100 chars long - 80 chars of data with trailing null values. How do I make it only 80.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Yes.. I did that and even that didn't help. I have tried so many things but for some reason it is 100 chars fixed. Any more suggestions....

Linebreak Code in Character Mode Report

Dear All
I m saving a Character Mode Report which is 132 column Wide, and i can access that report in Note Pad in proper format and alignment but when i m use WORDPAD, it open in un aligned format i mean with line break.
so any one can give me any Idea so i can open that report in WORDPAD too.

Take a look at the .prt file that you are using. The linebreak code is stored in there and you can alter it to the appropriate code for your printer/platform/application to view correctly.

Character mode report cuts off last character on a line

Reports 9i, Windows 2003 Server. Printing character mode reports to IBM 6400 printer. I have a variable text column (multi line) and randomly the last character on a line gets cutoff. I'm using Courier 10 as my font. It is only 1 character that ever cuts cutoff. Any ideas? I'm desperate.

Hi,
change the reports height& width for landscape /portait.
and go to edit margin in layout.
see the layout and move to left if it has lot of gap in left side.
we can get correct output if the right side border is upto 8.2.
try with this.

Character-mode report on web

Hi,
I am new to Report builder, I have developed character mode report on client server mode, It is working fine, and fast printing.
Please tell me this report can i run on web using report server with same speed of printing?

Kinjal Shah

To run the reports in character mode in web architecture, you need to provide "mode=character" cmd line parameters in the url request. Make sure the report you run is designed for character mode.

READ-ONLY CHARACTER MODE REPORT OUTPUT

Hi,
I am using Developer Suite 10g Report Builder to create a character mode report. I use commands as below to open the report output;
PROCEDURE Run_Report (vReportname varchar2) IS
LINEBUF VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
linebuf := NULL;
linebuf :='C:\DevSuiteHome_1\bin\rwrun ';
linebuf :=linebuf||vReportname;
linebuf :=linebuf||'destype=file desname=c:\windows\temp\L610.prn ';
linebuf :=linebuf||'&& "C:\Program Files\TextPad 5\TextPad.exe" C:\windows\temp\L610.prn';
host('cmd /c '||linebuf);
END;
The reason why I am using third party software is because customer wanted to view the report output first before proceed with printing and I had tried with all option PDF, HTML, Notepad, Wordpad, Ms Word Viewer 2003, they all got problem wether fail to preview the output nicely or printer cannot recognize the generic output. As for now Textpad is the best in both to preview nicely and printer with generic driver can print the output nicely.
But there is another problem. Anybody can edit the output preview onTextpad and customer do not want that to happend (security for accounting data).
So, can anyone suggest me how to create the ouput in READ-ONLY mode? But please do not advise me to print directly to the printer because on 9i PREVIEWER function works well while on 10g this function has been obselate so I need to find the replacement of PREVIEWER function to running on web.
Thanks.

Faisal

What about trying to view the text in the browser (IE/Mozilla)? That is what we do about reports produced by reports server: they are written in files on the reports server machine and opened with the browser, or they are sent directly to the printer.
Otherwise, i simply see no way to prevent a text editor from editing the file on screen. If, let's say you make the file read-omly, that won't do, for the user may change the data on screen and print what's on screen without saving the file...
