Hello,
You have to specify the "escape sequences" that will turn on / turn off BOLD :
Example :
code "bold on" esc "[1m"
code "bold off" esc "[0m"
The escapes sequences depend on the printer used . Refer to your printer documentation to find the "escape sequences".

A4 Character Report Width Problem ??

Hello
What's is the maximum width that i can set to generate a landscape report on A4 paper on a Desktop Bubble Jet / Laser Jet Printer ??
What's the best layout practice for generating chracter based report on A4 paper
I'm developing report for Oracle 11i Applications.

Hi
i m also face this problem so if u have any Idea plz inform me :
Printer Used : EPSON LQ 2180 , EPSON LQ 1170
O/S : Windows 98, Windows NT (Server, Workststation)
We are facing a problem regarding character report printing. We have tested several options on different printers but the results are quiet strange. We are not sure whether its the problem of printer driver or does our oracle installation require a patch for it.
We have both Oracle Developer 6i Release 1 and Release 2 as fronted and Oracle 8i (8.1.7) release 3 at backend. The actual problem is , we are printing character based Report of size 11 x 5.5 on Line printer. When we print the pay slip through Windows NT WorkStation environment the report format gets distorted but when we print on Windows 98 it is quiet fine.
P.S I have noted one thing peculiar, when the printer is attached to Windows NT Workstation to its LPT port and we print from a Windows 98 client using the default PRT of Oracle the printout is fine as expected. We can control the pitch and font from the printer.(17 cpi and Draft Font)
When using Windows NT client and default PRT of Oracle the printout is not coming the same as desired and there is no control over the pitch and fonts through the printer itself.
The printer we are using are EPSON LQ 2180 , EPSON LQ 1170 and PRINTRONIX P5005B. One thing more that when we use EPSON LQ 2180 and EPSON LQ 1170 printers the result are quiet different from PRINTRONIX P5005B.
The Contents of prt file (dflt.prt) is following:
printer "dflt"
height 66
width 132
before report control(N)
after page control(L)
return control(M)
linefeed control(J)
We urgently need the solution.

How to suppress extra form feed for character report printing using ORARRP?

Dear All,
We are using Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2.0.2) on Windows 2003 Server and most of our client PC's are Windows XP Professional machines. We are migrating our existing oracle application from 2-tier architecture to 3-tier architecture (6i to 10g). We have installed ORARRP utility for remote direct printing and to a limited extent we are successfull in getting the things work out for our system users, However, we are facing a problem using the ORARRP utility for which we are not able to find a solution till date.
We have configured ORARRP utility on every user's PC and the printing of bitmap reports is working well. However, while printing CHARACTER reports using ORARRP utility, after the report gets printed, an EXTRA FORM FEED is issued by ORARRP to the printer and because of this the printer stationary skips one extra page and advances to the next page. Please note that this EXTRA FORM FEED happens only while printing a CHARACTER REPORT.
Has anyone come across such a problem using ORARRP ? How can we avoid this extra FORM FEED from CHARACTER REPORT printing using ORARRP ? Is there any other tool which supports remote direct printing just like ORARRP?
I shall be highly obliged if anyone could reply to my queries ASAP.
Regards,
KrishnaKumar S

Please help ! I tried the "send_form_feed" and "postscript_dos_print" parameters without success. The extra form feed is always there. Thanks.

Font problem in reports 6 character report

hi...
i have this character report. i have set the font of all objects in the report to Courier, point size 10. the report also has a number of bozes and lines i have drawn.
now the report displays perfectly from the previewer and also prints perfectly...as long as i run the the report from within Report Builder. When i try to run the .rep from Forms using run_product, the font goes haywire. it displays everything in some Lucida font and my boxes and lines disappear.
anyone has any idea ?????
thanx in advance....

I have found this reference on a search of oracle:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_trouble.htm
Section D1.11 says this is a know problem and to copy one registry entry to another, however, this entry does not exist on the Windows 2003 server this is running on.
Any ideas?
D.1.11 Printing and Font Errors When Using In-process Server
The in-process server does not recognize the default printer of a user currently logged on to Windows. This is because the service that runs the in-process server is logged on as the Local System.
Problem
Any of the following:
* Printing to default printer fails with the REP_3002 error. For example, the following command:
http://myrepsrvr.us.oracle.com:7777/reports/rwservlet?report=myrep.rdf&destype=printer&desformat=html
results in the following error: Error:"REP-3002: Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed."
* Deploying reports containing Oracle6i Graphics (OGD) graphics causes Reports Server to stop responding.
* Font alignment problems in a PDF file output from an in-process server.
Solution
To work around all these issues:
1. Open the Windows registry using a registry editor (for example, regedit.exe). Create a backup of the registry before you edit it.
2. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Windows
3. Copy the string value of Device for this key. For example: \\MOWGLI\sierra,winspool,Ne02:
4. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Windows
5. Paste the Device value copied from HKEY_CURRENT_USER (the string value of Device for this key will be empty).

I've created a character report without user

I've created a character report without user parameters that works just fine.
The moment I've created a user parameter, without even putting it in a query, instead of
a report I've got the message: "REP-1219: 'repeating_frame_name' has no size - length or with is zero".
The same message I've got few times before:
1. When in the Layout Model -> Main Section Width and Height were not set correctly. Setting Width and Height to right numbers solved the problem
2. When 2 frames were overlapping. Turning off Snap to grid and moving the frames just a little from one another solved my problem.
What should I do this time ?
What I have installed is:

we used UTF8 which worked fine with that.

Rep60: mismatched fonts in character reports

We have some character reports with Courier New (normal and bold). Sometimes we have experienced that one or more reports, with no apparent reason, change their font. It becomes usually "LucidaConsole.." or "Arial". This thing causes reports to show unprintable characters or symbols (ran either from RDF and REP). The worst thing is that the same report has different results on different clients (W98 - W98Se - WNT) without apparent logic. We have already test the contents of font directory on various PCs without finding significative differences.
Have you already experienced this ?
Thanks to all of you in advance

hello,
from your question i understand that you want to create a barcode in a character mode report. this will be very difficult as it requires the destination printer to be able to print barcodes. a barcode font will not help here, as charactermode reports do not leverage fonts other than ones available in the printer.
usually it is more to creating a barcode than just printing the value in barcode font. most barcodes need special algorithms to create chechsums and similar stuff.
you might want to look into our barcode example that shows you how to use a java bean to generate a barcode.
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/BarcodeBeanPaper/index.html
oracle does neither ship barcodefonts nor java beans to generate barcodes for production purposes. the supplied sampels are for demo purposes only. however there are several commercially available fonts as well as javabeans on the market.
regards,
philipp

Problem in Character Mode Report (Urgent)

Dear All
i m designing a character mode report
and when i preview it ,,, it will display
different report font which is big in size
and width so it is not fit in the designed columns
can any one help me ,, y this problem is exist
though i m using Dot matrix printer EPSON DFX-8500
printer.

Hi..
If you are directly giving Print from previewer..you need to set printer to 10 cpi (if you want bigger font) and 12 dpi to compress the larger font..
CPI is character per inch so in one inch 10 chr or 12 chr can fir acc to setting.
If you are uploading file on Oracle Apps then you need to set fonts if needed in concurrent manager,printer setting,Style,fonts ..
"But the hardware setting is vewry imp..set the font in DRAFT mode"..

# in output of report: urgent

Hi,
I am facing a problem. I have an infobject 0class_num of character type. In any case if we dont have value then in output we get # instead of blank. But when i execute my report which is having a column contract type (0class_num) then in output it gives me something like '#/Warranty'. I tried to change display setting which is set to key by default and if i make ti to text then this value comes up 'Not assigned' but when i look up at data in the cube then there is no # preeceding the data. Can anybody please tell me from where this # is coming up and how to remove it ?
Its urgent please help,
Thanks !

Yes you are right its having compounding infoobject 0class_type. Please tell me how to remove it. My object 0class_num is being used in a cube, i tried to remove 0 class_type from there but when i remove its compounding from object 0class_num i get following error:
Infoobject 0class_type is used in transfer rules(T) of char 0class_num.
We are not mainting master data for it. so there is no transformation but in text table of 0class_num this 0class_type is present how to remove it.
Please guide !
Thanks

Hi Experts
my requirement is to combine the standard selection screens of T-CODE IW39 & IW59 as a one selection screen.
i tried a lot but i'm unable to do it.
in these selection screens some blocks are called by dynamically through ldb. if i copied standard prog of T-CODE IW39 as zprogram it dispalying the whole selection screen but at that time i'm unable to merge IW59 selection screen code with this caode.
can any help me urgent .plz

hi
chk this out
SELECTION-SCREEN: Special Variant for Logical Databases
You may only use these variants in the INCLUDE program DBldbSEL of logical database ldb.
Variants:
1.SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF VERSION vers TEXT-xxx.
2. SELECTION-SCREEN END OF VERSION vers.
3. SELECTION-SCREEN EXCLUDE ... .
4.SELECTION-SCREEN DYNAMIC SELECTIONS FOR TABLE dbtab.
5.SELECTION-SCREEN FIELD SELECTION FOR TABLE dbtab.
6.SELECTION-SCREEN DYNAMIC SELECTIONS FOR NODE node.
7.SELECTION-SCREEN FIELD SELECTION FOR NODE node.
Variant 1
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF VERSION vers TEXT-xxx.
Variant 2
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF VERSION vers.
Variant 3
SELECTION-SCREEN EXCLUDE ... .
Effect
Defines a selection screen version (three character name vers). Between BEGIN OF VERSION and END OF VERSION , you can exclude selection screen objects from version vers using SELECTION-SCREEN EXCLUDE. This allows you to reduce the database-specific part of the standard selection screen to those objects relevant to the report in question without having to sacrifice important selection criteria in other reports.
You activate a selection screen version for a report by entering it in the report attributes. If the database access program SAPDBldb itself has a selection screen version in its attributes, this applies to all reports that use the logical database and for which you have not declared a particular selection screen variant.
The function of the text symbol TEXT-xxx is to enable users to choose a selection screen variant using F4 help on the program attributes screen.
Extras:
(for SELECTION-SCREEN EXCLUDE) 1. ... PARAMETERS par 2. ... SELECT-OPTIONS sel
3. ... RADIOBUTTON GROUPS radi
4. ... BLOCKS block
5. ... IDS id
Effect
Excludes selection screen objects between SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN and END OF VERSION. You can also exclude individual parameters, select-options, and radiobutton groups, within SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN/END OF BLOCK blocks, and other SELECTION-SCREEN objects such as comments and underlines using the ID id addition.
Notes
You can only exclude objects of the DS:ABEN.SELECTION_SCREEN>standard selection screen 1000, not any that belong to a screen defined using SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN ... AS SUBSCREEN. If the standard selection screen includes objects from other screens ( SELECTION-SCREEN INCLUDE ... ID ...), you can use SELECTOIN-SCREEN EXCLUDE IDS ... to exclude them from the screen.
The database program SAPDBldb can use the function module RS_SELSCREEN_VERSION to use the active version of the selection screen for the current report.
Example
TABLES SPFLI.
NODES CHARLY.                  " with structure SFLIGHT
PARAMETERS PAR_1 LIKE SPFLI-CARRID FOR TABLE SPFLI.
SELECT-OPTIONS SEL_1 FOR SPFLI-CONNID.
SELECT-OPTIONS SEL_2 FOR CHARLY-FLDATE.
SELECT-OPTIONS SEL_3 FOR SPFLI-CITYFROM.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT /10(20) TEXT-100 FOR TABLE SFLIGHT ID 001.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT /8(30) TEXT-200 FOR NODE CHARLY ID 002.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 100 AS SUBSCREEN NO INTERVALS.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B100 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT_001.
    PARAMETERS P100_1 TYPE SFLIGHT-SEATSMAX FOR NODE CHARLY.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B100.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN 100.
PARAMETERS PAR_2 LIKE SY-SUBRC FOR TABLE SFLIGHT.
PARAMETERS PAR_3 LIKE CHARLY-PLANETYPE FOR NODE CHARLY.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF VERSION ABC TEXT-008.
SELECTION-SCREEN EXCLUDE PARAMETERS: PAR_1, PAR_3.
SELECTION-SCREEN EXCLUDE SELECT-OPTIONS SEL_2.
SELECTION-SCREEN EXCLUDE IDS 001.
SELECTION-SCREEN END   OF VERSION ABC.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF VERSION XYZ TEXT-XYZ.
SELECTION-SCREEN EXCLUDE IDS 100.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF VERSION XYZ.
If the report attributes (or the attributes of database program SAPDBldb) contain the selection screen version ABC, the parameters PAR_1 and PAR_3, the select-option SEL_2 and the comment with text number 100 (ID 001) do not appear on the selection screen. Text symbol 008 of SAPDBldb is displayed if you choose F4 help for the 'Selection screen version' field.
If the program attributes (or the attributes of the database program SAPDBldb) contain the selection screen version XYZ, the block B100 containing the parameter P100_1 does not appear on the standard selection screen 1000, but it does appear on the subscreen 100..
Variant 4
SELECTION-SCREEN DYNAMIC SELECTIONS FOR TABLE dbtab.
Variant 6
SELECTION-SCREEN DYNAMIC SELECTIONS FOR NODE
node.
Extras:
... ID id
Effect
This statement returns the tables or nodes of the logical database for which additional selections are supported. If one of these tables or nodes is active in the report (declared using TABLES or NODES, or in the path from the database hierarchy root to a table declared using TABLES or NODES), the 'Free selections' pushbutton appears on the selection screen. If the user chooses this function, the system branches to a dialog in which the user can enter selections for the relevant fields of the appropriate tables. There are two ways to set the fields for which users can make free selections:
Using a selection view created for that purpose:
You maintain selection views within logical database maintenance. They consist of a set of fields from tables in the logical database that are divided into groups. You can also preselect fields here. Customers may overlay the selection view (that is, the system searches first for a customer-specific selection view. Only if one does not exist will the system display the SAP selection view).
If you have already made a preselection in the selection view, the user sees the selection screen for the preselected fields on which to enter his or her selections. If no fields have been preselected, the user must first select some.
Using all fields of all tables
In this case, the user must choose the table and then the fields for which he or she wants to define additional selections. Having selected these, he or she then passes to the selection screen for entering the free selections.
The database access program SAPDBldb takes on the form of a complex data object DYN_SEL consisting of WHERE clauses generated by the user input for dynamic database access.
Note
You cannot use free selections for nodes with type C (complex data objects).
Note
The precise definition of the object DYN_SEL is stored in TYPE-POOL RSDS and reads:
TYPES: BEGIN OF RSDS_WHERE,
         TABLENAME LIKE RSDSTABS-PRIM_TAB,
         WHERE_TAB LIKE RSDSWHERE OCCURS 5,
       END OF RSDS_WHERE.
TYPES: BEGIN OF RSDS_TYPE,
         CLAUSES TYPE RSDS_WHERE OCCURS 5,
         TEXPR   TYPE RSDS_TEXPR,
         TRANGE TYPE RSDS_TRANGE,
       END   OF RSDS_TYPE.
DATA DYN_SEL TYPE RSDS_TYPE.
The object DYN_SEL contains (amongst other elements) a component (CLAUSES), which is an internal table. Each line in the internal table contains a table name (TABLENAME) and a further internal table (WHERE_TAB), that contains the WHERE clauses for table (TABLENAME).
The structure of the two other components is contained in type pool RSDS.
TEXPR contains the selections in a storeable format that you can use for the 'freely callable' function modules used to enter free selections ( FREE_SELECTIONS_INIT, FREE_SELECTIONS_DIALOG). TRANGE contains the selections in the form of RANGES tables , that you can use with the IN operator in the SELECT, CHECK and IF statements.
Note
Neither the TYPE-POOL RSDS nor the declaration of DYN_SEL need to be written into the database program: both are automatically included by the system.
In the database program SAPDBldb, an access to a table XXXX might look like this:
FORM PUT_XXXX.
DATA L_DS_CLAUSES TYPE RSDS_WHERE.
MOVE 'XXXX' TO L_DS_CLAUSES-TABLENAME.
READ TABLE DYN_SEL-CLAUSES WITH KEY L_DS_CLAUSES-TABLENAME
                             INTO L_DS_CLAUSES.
SELECT * FROM XXXX
           WHERE field1 IN ...
           AND   field2 ....
           AND (L_DS_CLAUSES-WHERE_TAB).
      PUT XXXX.
ENDSELECT.
ENDFORM.
Note
If the table L_DS_CLAUSES-WHERE_TAB is empty (in other words, there are no free selections for table XXXX), the system ignores the addition ... AND (L_DS_CLAUSES-WHERE_TAB) in the SELECT statement.
Variant 5
SELECTION-SCREEN FIELD SELECTION FOR TABLE dbtab.
Variant 7
SELECTION-SCREEN FIELD SELECTION FOR NODE node.
Extras:
... ID id
Effect
This statement returns the tables and nodes of the logical database for which field selections are supported.
If required by the report, not all fields of these tables and nodes are filled from the database, but only those that the report needs. You declare these fields in the report using GET dbtab FIELDS f1 ... fn or GET dbtab LATE FIELDS f1 ... fn (the field list is then completed by the system, using the key fields of table dbtab).
You can improve performance considerably by restricting the fields used to those that are really necessary.
The database access program SAPDBldb receives the fields for the dynamic field selection in the form of an internal table SELECT_FIELDS.
Note
You cannot use this addition for nodes with type C (complex data objects).
Note
The exact definition of the object SELECT_FIELDS is stored in TYPE-POOL RSFS and reads:
TYPES: BEGIN OF RSFS_TAB_FIELDS,
         TABLENAME LIKE RSDSTABS-PRIM_TAB,
         FIELDS LIKE RSFS_STRUC OCCURS 10,
       END OF RSFS_TAB_FIELDS.
TYPES: RSFS_FIELDS TYPE RSFS_TAB_FIELDS OCCURS 10.
DATA SELECT_FIELDS TYPE RSFS_FIELDS.
SELECT_FIELDS is an internal table. Each line of the internal table contains a table name (TABLENAME) and a further internal table (FIELDS) containing the fields of table (TABLENAME).
Note
You do not need to declare the TYPE-POOL RSFS or SELECT_FIELDS in the database program, since both are included automatically by the system. Unlike the objects linked using the DYNAMIC SELECTIONS addition, SELECT_FIELDS is also available in the report.
In the database program SAPDBldb, an access to table XXXX might look like this:
FORM PUT_XXXX.
DATA L_TAB_FIELDS TYPE RSFS_TAB_FIELDS.
MOVE 'XXXX' TO L_TAB_FIELDS-TABLENAME.
READ TABLE SELECT_FIELDS WITH KEY L_TAB_FIELDS-TABLENAME
                           INTO L_TAB_FIELDS.
SELECT (L_TAB_FIELDS-FIELDS)
             INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF XXXX
             FROM XXXX
         WHERE field1 IN ...
         AND   field2 ....
      PUT XXXX.
ENDSELECT.
ENDFORM.
Notes
If table L_TAB_FIELDS is empty (in other words, the report for table XXXX does not require any field selection), SELECT (L_TAB_FIELDS) ... behaves like SELECT * ..., that is, all fields of table XXXX are filled.
The internal table SELECT_FIELDS is filled when the INIT routine runs in the database program or when the INITIALIZATION runs in the report. The program can access it if the logical database requires extra fields.

Printing in character mode (urgent)

Hi,
We would like to print the contents of the report in bold,italic and compressed format wich i have made in character mode (mode=character).
i work with:
Reports Builder 6i,
Win 2000,
a generic/text only printer(matrix printer: EPSON LQ-580).
i have tied to call the bold.prt in DESFORMAT, and i have entred bold on and bold off in the section of "code after" and "code before", but no changes occurs when i print the report
Thanking You in advance.

Hi,
First create your .prt file. In this file, you must define the printer escape sequence for making an object print in bold format, for example. Most of the supplied .prt files incorporate this code. An example of a HP printer setting is:
code "1" esc"(s7B"
code "2" esc"(s0B"
Check your printer settings and/or consult your printer manual for more information on other effects, such as italic.
Next build your character mode report.
The report must now be set to the .prt file. Set the DESFORMAT system parameter for your report to test.prt (no need for .prt extension). This can also be set as a runtime parameter.
Next, go to the object in the report that you want to print in bold; such as, boilerplate text. Click on the properties for the boilerplate text, and go to the 'Printer Codes' tab. References to the escape codes shown above must be entered here in the Before and After fields. You are interested in the BOLD On and Off printer escape sequences so we would put &1 in the before and &2 in the after field.
Save and run the report directing the output to a valid printer. The printed version of the character mode report should incorporate your changes.
NOTE: You do not have to use &1, and so forth, Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

: HIDING SUMMARY COLUMNS IN MATRIX REPORT , URGENT

Hi,
Can any one please tell me how to hide a column in oralce matrix report. Its a summary column for the matrix report which appears next to the cell values. For example
Manufacturer
Brand
SubBrand1 SubBrand2 Brand Total Manufacturer Total
Week $ Sales $ Sales Total $ Sales Total $ Sales
This is a case where,the cell value is the $ sales for the SubBrand for the week. And it gets total at each brand level and each Manufacturer level. The requrement is if there is only one SubBrand for a Brand then the Brand total should not appear on the report. Similarly if there is one Brand for a Manufacturer, then the total at Manufacturer level should not appear . The point is not only it should dissapear but the frame should srink to make it fell that there is no totaling going on at those two levels. If the fileds just remains blank then the report looks odd. So the gap should be srinked as well. How to do it . This is very urgent . Please help me out.
Thanks
Feroz

use a formst trigeer on the field that returns false when you don't want to display the field.
