Hi Ranjan,
You don't have a whole lot of print options with Reports.. you can get what you need to some extent using the
PRINT-CONTROL option on the REPORT statement. Please check theSAP Help for additional info.
Check this program also...
REPORT ZFONT NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING LINE-SIZE 80 LINE-COUNT 65.
Start of print-control
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'SF000'.
WRITE: / 'This is CPI 20'.
SKIP.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'SF020'.
WRITE: / 'This is CPI 6'.
SKIP.
PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'SF008'.
WRITE: / 'This is CPI 12'.
Depending on your SAP printer device, this may also work
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 1 LPI 6.
you can try to change font and LPI numbers
WRITE: / 'font 1 lpi 6'.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 2 LPI 6.
WRITE: / 'font 2 lpi 6'.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 3 LPI 6.
WRITE: / 'font 3 lpi 6'.
End of print-control
NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.
End of Program
Cheers,

Print Bold Character in Character Mode Report

I design report in character mode. but i want to print one filed in bold character and one column with underline. i am using epson lq-2180 printer. i tried to use printer file code but it is not working. so can anyone help me. if possible than write me the code of printer file.

Hi Chirag
Use "Printer Code Before" and "Printer Code After" property against the object that you want to appear bold.
To find out the list of printer codes, refer the manual that came along with your printer.

Print landscape report in character mode

Hi!
It seems that I should change xxx.prt file in DESFORMAT parameter to match different kinds of printers in order to print landscape report in character mode.
Our customers are international wide. How can I do to make this setting meet every customer for printing reports in landscape style?
We will run the reports on Unix on the middle tier and customers read them in browser.
Thanks for help.

Hi,
This sounds like a similar problem that I had (and still having). It was (is) a Bug. Go to metalink.oracle.com and reference this bug#1413754. See if this is your problem as well. My only work around was change the format of the file instead of using character mode I am now using PDF. Which is working fine for me.

How to do a report in CHARACTER MODE?!

I have to do a report in CHARACTER MODE
and to print it to a EPSON LX-850 printer.
My report must have 21*9.5 cm (Width*height)
I did :
- in the Property palette of report Unit of measurement=centimeter
- in the Property palette of Main Section : Width=21,Height=9.5 and
in character mode Width=80 and height=22
- in System parameter the parameter MODE=CHARACTER and
the parameter DESFORMAT=R80x22
I did a file R80X22.PRT which contains :
printer "epson10cpix6lpi"
height 22
width 80
before report esc"@"
hilight overstrike
return control(M)
linefeed control(J)
When I print , the printer tear off the whole page A4
and didn't stop after 9.5 cm which is the height of my page in report.
What to do to stop the printer after the height of page in my report (9.5cm)?
Please help me!
Thank you!

What happens when you generate the report to file and look at the file? Does it look like it's generating to the correct size before the end of page marker?

Is it possible to call a report whith Ñ character in it's file name

Hi,
We have a customer which is having problem when calling a report when the file name has Ñ character, for example: reportedeañonuevo.rdf
when invoking the report it gets the following error:
REP-110: File reportede¿. cannot be opened
REP-1070: An error occurred while opening or saving a document
REP-0110: File reportede¿. cannot be opened
The customer has reports 11g 11.1.1.6 64bits
Regards
Carlos

calling a report with Ñ character in it's file name is not possible ?I didn't say that. I just said: try B-) I have no environment to try it myself right now.
Furthermore: how are you calling your report? Directly via URL, or via Forms run_report_object?
It is a very usual situation that you have to escape special characters in a URL. So yes, that is normal.

REP-1352 when running web reports in character mode on linux server

Hi
After migration from 6i to 10g we have problems when we run reports in character mode on a linux (Red Hat Enterprise 4) application server (10.1.2.0.2).
The error REP-1352 occurs with any NLS_LANG or report's font setup. Original report's font is Courier New (Occidental) and NLS_LANG=FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8ISO8859P1.
I created a new simple report in character mode with font Courier New and it is generated successfully.
Witch migration step could I apply to avoid this error ?
Thanks in advance.

I didn't precise that reports failed to be executed with desformat=delimited but succeded with desformat=pdf.
Why Reports server on linux is unable to generate a full text report but can generate a pdf report ?

How do I globally replace a bold character override in FM10?

How do I globally replace a bold character override with a specific character format from the character format catalog in FM10? I am not concerned about filtering for specific paragraph tags.
Thanks,
Marc

This is far as I've managed …
apply the character style in question to a word, then use Edit > Copy special to put the character style in the clipboard
use Find/change to locate Character format override
if this finds a local override you want to clean up, click [Change & find]
Not global in the sense "sort out my whole book with one click", but perhaps a step in the right direction.
Off-thread question: what's the general feeling about formatting for step 3 – is it OK to be informal and start an instruction with "if"? I like to explain the condition before giving the instruction, to avoid tripping up people like me who tend to process strictly from left to right :-} An indented paragraph after step 2 "If … then continue to step 3" would be thorough, but seems a bit clumsy.

How to print report in Character mode using Oracle Developer 10g

so how can it possible to set the mode to character and view report on Web.

You have to pass the PRT file name as value for the DESFORMAT and use mode= MODE=CHARACTER.
E.g.
http://<host name>:<port>/reports/rwservlet?desformat=dflt&mode=character&.....
