Please!!!!They are completely different languages and technologies. Cobol deals with flat files of data processed in sort of scanning/looping/reading back and forth ways (God how I hated Cobol!). As unrepentant old cobol programmer (though I haven't written a line of cobol in several years) I take umbrage at that. (Yes, being an unrepentant cobol programmer means I'm also a curmudgeon). Cobol is far more capable than simply looping through "read a record, write a record. It deals with far more than just flat files. It can quite easily access any dbms that supplies a pre-compiler - like, oh, say, Oracle's Pro*Cobol. Micro Focus (I believe they are now called Merant) produced a full line of cobol products for the PC. And all of it, the basic compiler, the integrated development environment (editor, source-code level debugger, gui,) emulation of mainframe CICS, IMS, and DB2 were all themselves written *in cobol*.
There was never a technical reason for moving away from cobol. It was simply fueled by a generation of developers who though computing began with the Apple II and set out to have to discover (and then re-invent solutions for) problems that cobol programmers and the mainframe had solved years earlier. And PHB's who practiced "Management by Magazine Article" and got their technical advice from American Airlines Magazine.
I've always maintained that people who hate cobol never really knew cobol.
Oracle deals with relational indexed tables using SQL.
Take your business requirements for what the report should be generating and write the report from scratch in Oracle. That way you'll make the most of Oracles technology.

How to use PDF417 Bar Code in Oracle Reports 6i

How to Use PDF417 Bar Code in Oracle 6i. One of my clients has a requirement that Customer Name and Address to be converted into PDF417.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
PN

You will need to add this font to the system and Reports configuration files.
For adding font to the system, refer to your system specific guidelines for installing new fonts.
After you have installed this font on the system, you should be able to see the font in Reports builder font picker dropdown box. or with unix 'xlsfonts' command
For adding this font to the Reports application.
1. Modify the printer definition file ( you can get this info from uiprint.txt file for the .ppd or .hpd file used )
if the printer defination file is .ppd then look for "*Font Information" section and add the new font name there
like *Font <new_font_name> Standard '(00.1001)" Standard ROM
If hpd add the new font tfm file as
FONT= new_font_name
/tfm=new_font_tfm file.tfm
2. Copy the AFM or TFM ( these are fonts metrics files, which font vendor will provide ) into the relevant directory so the the Reports application should pick them up.
3. If necessary, make changes in the alias file (uifont.ali ) for mapping to this font. If the layout objects in your report are associated with the same font name as the new font then mapping is not required. But if the fonts for the layout objects are different then you need to map the original fonts to the new ones. Make sure that the mapping rules should be defined in the right section depending on the printer type being used.

Incorporate Bar Code in Oracle Reports

Hi,
I want to incorporate Bar code font in character based oracle reports.Kindly let me know how to go about implementing it.Secondly is there any site from where i can download the bar code fonts freely.Also does Oracle provide Barcode fonts for Oracle Reports.
Thanks in advance
Deepak

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

Bar Code in Oracle reports 2.0

We have a requirement to print a barcode on a pick slip report (generated in Oracle reports 2.0) such as the pick slip number so that it can be scanned. Does any one have ideas on this? We are printing the pick slips on line printers (genicoms).
Thanks in Advance,
Mag

Thanks for the suggestion
I checked their web site and their solutions seem to be work if you have Oracle reports 6.0 or greater. Unfortunaltely we are still in Oracle reprots 2.0, has anyone got some ideas.

Hi,
When i used to get only one page the options like facing, continuous facing are disabled. And displays only single page.
These options are enabled only when there are multiple pages in pdf.
One more thing i found that it happens when I first view the report as pdf it displays
all the pages, then i change the display format to csv and again when i change
the format to pdf the problem starts.
And when I will restart the report server service, it works fine again until i wont view it in CSV format.

Oracle reports 6i to Oracle forms 10g migration

Hi,
I have .rdf files which were created on Oracle Reports 6i. I would like to migrate the .rdf files into Oracle Reports module which is present as a part of Oracle Forms 10g to generate PDF output.
Please let me know the detailed steps to be followed as I am a total newbie. Also I need to generate these reports on demand from a java 5 application (JSF 2.0).
Currently for ORacle reports 6i, I have the following code in my java application
rwrun60.exe g:\tomcat33\webapps\reports\web-inf\src\null userid=***/*** destype=FILE desformat="pdf" paramform=NO printjob=NO batch=YES desname=temp.pdf
1. What would be the equivalent for reports in ORacle Forms 10g ? I know there is an Oracle Apps server where ther report services reside. How to I invoke my report from my java application (residing on a weblogic server 10.3.6)?
2. What ould I do with the 6i .rdf files to upgrade them to 10g ?

I am trying to call an Oracle report i.e .rdf (which is located on the Oracle App Server) from my java EE 5 (JSF) application. The Oracle App server is Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2. I assume Oracle report generation capability is available in this release. I need to invoke the report from my Java JSF application on demand (whenever the user clicks a button on the web browser page, the report should appear on the browser as PDF) . My java application resides on Linux weblogic server.
Please let me know how it can be done ? I see rwclient.sh and another method to directly invoke using a URL. How do I do it on java, would a request.redirect() to the URL work ?
Also for hiding the params in the URL. keys need to be configured on the Oracle server right ?
Also if we use rwclient.sh or the URL based invocation, would there be any issue in concurrency when multiple users request the same report at the same time ?

Report generation failed----error code:-17205; Access Denied.

Hi, All
    i have a trouble about report generation.it seems the error happened at the "write UUT report"--this step is teststand report generation'DLL.
    detail:
    An error occurred calling 'Save' in 'Report' of 'NI TestStand 2010 SP1 API'
Access Denied.. Error writing to file 'D:\program\seq\xxx.xml'.
The file might be open in another application. If file access is intermittently denied, you should try disabling the Microsoft FindFast utility.
    error code:-17205; Access Denied.
    locationtep 'Write UUT Report' of sequence 'Single Pass' in 'SequentialModel.Seq'
    How to fix it?
    Thanks a lot.

Hm, it looks like the file might be open in another application. If you see that file accesss is intermittently denied, you should try disabling the Microsoft FindFast utility.

Report Generation Error Code=1 applying patch 1471898

When apply the file g1471898 the adpatch was unable to generate reports. The message is ERROR [Code=1] generating report ....

Thats not much to go on.
You should probably take this up with Oracle Support.
But surely there is more in the logs than just that.
You dont have any 'ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors..' or
something along those lines?
If you cant sort out the issue from your log files, then
you might want to recompile your apps schema and try the g-driver
again. Before contacting Support.

-1073741819 code using Report Generation with LV 6.1

>. I'm using Windows XP plataform.
someone knows what can I do?
Thanks for your help

Maybe you already know this but the font settings is a cluster of 4 elements: 2 integers and 2 strings. The 2 integers are character set and weight. They default to -1. The two strings are font name and font size. The default to blank strings. Are you wiring this cluster into your font settings terminal? Do you have -1, -1, Arial, and a number for font size inside the cluster (I use 4 for HTML reports)?

Thanks in advance.You have to use Reports Trigger named BEFORE PARAMETER FORM and write the following sql
select sysdate into :Parameter_name from dual;
give your format mask at Parameter_name.
Hope this will help you
