Delimited output from Reports
Hello friends,
I am trying to produce delimited data based on a query which outputs department names.
The output data should look like:
SALES OPERATION SERVICE TECHNOLOGY
I have a repeating frame with Print Direction set to "Across".
To generate the file in Reports Builder, I do the following: File --> Generate File --> Delimited.
But the data I am getting looks like:
SALES
OPERATION
SERVICE
TECHNOLOGY
Any help or clues to the problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sany
hello,
either ! depending on your application, if you want to set it dynamically or only want it in delimited.

Generating delimited output from Reports Runtime R60
When generating a delimited file using Runtime how can you predict or determine how Oracle will form the output rows from the report layout? Does anyone have any documentation on Runtime that explains the generation process as there is nothing in the Runtime Reference manual.
The only documentation (such that it is) that I've found on this is in MetaLink, in Note 68245.1 "Delimited Output in Reports" and a tiny bit more in Note 120072.1 "Suppressing header on delimited output".

CPU usage while generating text output from reports
hi
while we attempt to generate the text (delimited) output from reports and when the query fetches more than 1500 rows, the cpu usage stays around 100% for long time paralysing the operation...
we faced the problem when we attempted to generate text output for around 10000 records.
any suggestions?
ravi kumar chandranYou can burst with eText and I have done it
successfully.
I don't believe pagebreaks are an option in eText and
I don't think it makes sense either since your
generating a flat-file and not a customer or internal
facing document. Does that make sense?
Also, if you would like you can use the
BIPublisherIDE, this code can be converted pretty
easily to handle jcp. There is a an oa framework
version I have developed but I haven't posted on my
blog yet. I plan on adding a bolt on for java
concurrent programs soon. it's really pretty simple
just haven't had the time.

Thanks Ike for your reply.
I agree with your points on TXT files, but in our case,the reports are generated in TXT format for the customer so we are looking for the above mentioned features.
I have gone through BIP IDE and its a wonderful small utility which eases the task of BIP development.
As I mentioned in my original post that we are currently processing the generated TXT report using a custom util. in JAVA to get the desired output in TXT again.
I assume thats not what a JCP would do,so I am looking to explore that too.
As I understand the process for report generation is
1. Generate XSL from eTEXT template.
2. Get the XML data from DB using XDO
3. Apply XSL on XML to get the required template.
If we are looking to achieve some customizations then we need to have the XSL generated with those customizations.
In this case, where do we plug in the JCP to alter XSL or am I missing something.

I am building a simple report for address labels. I also want to to produce the address list in delimited format.
The generation of the report into PDF works fine, however delimited output does not include all of the fields of the report.
The approximate field layout is
Name
Address Line 1
Address Line 2
Experimenting a little, it seems that the fields only generate in delimited format if they don't overlap vertically.
ie Name AddressLine1 AddressLine2
This produces the correct delimited output, but of course is nothing like what I want for an address label.
Version: Report Builder 6.0.8.8.3
I have seen some references to a patchset in other discussions. Where can I obtain these patches from?
thanks, evnafetsI'm sorry I guess I didn't make my problem clear.
I am generating delimited output from the menu: File:Generate To File: Delimited
The generated file does NOT include all the fields from the Layout view, unless they don't overlap vertically.
So if my layout view looks like
Name AddressLine1 AddressLine2
(all fields on same line)
The delimited file produces correctly.
ie Name,AddressLine1,AddressLine2
(using comma as delimiter)
If my layout view is
Name
AddressLine1
AddressLine2
(Three vertically overlapping fields)
It only produces:
Name
Somewhere along the way, the address lines get lost.
If the Layout view is
Name AddressLine1
AddressLine2
It produces
Name, AddressLine1
And (Last example)
Name AddressLine1
AddressLine2
Produces Correctly (note no vertical overlapping)
I can't pretend to understand WHY it is performing like this, but thats what happens on my machine.
Thanks for the information on the patches - I'll upgrade and see if the issue goes away.
I did read and understand earlier posts about the labels printing, and I think its worth patching up just to get the feature to switch them off.
Thanks, evnafets -
Build Reports from XML output from Reports
Hi,
I was just wondering if it is possible to build reports from output in XML format, originally generated by Oracle Reports.
The XML output produced by Reports is stored in a database for further processing.
TIA
HienHi Hien
If I have understood this right, you need to create report in XML format from an XML Report Definition File. From the Builder, Generate to File from the File menu and choose XML format for the output.
Remember that XML output from Reports is Data driven and faithfully reproduces the Data Model. It is NOT layout driven.

Delimited output of report that contains frames with Print Direction = 'Across'
Hello all.
On the header section of my report, I have a frame with Print Direction = 'Across'.
On screen the output is :
Value1 Value2 Value3 Value 4
I want to export this report to excel, by using DELIMITED option. However the output I'm getting is :
Value1
Value2
Value3
Value4
e.g., reports is not generating several columns (one for each field), but separate lines.
Anyone knows how to accomplish delimited output of frames with Print Direction='Across' ?
Thanks in Advance,
OctavioIf you're not generating both bitmap and delimited data from the same report, try using character mode output rather than "delimited". You can create the report to generate the appropriately delimited values to a text file. This will also give you greater control over aspects such as headings.
Delimited output simply uses the structure of the layout. It doesn't take into account the across/down repeat directions except in the case of matrix. -
Problem with output from report to excel, calling the report from form 10g
Hi everyone, I'm having a problem generating a excel from a report, which is called from a form, I'm using Forms 10g. The problem is this: My report has a variable number of columns. These columns appear according to data obtained from the database, these columns are dates, In vesion 6 excel file generated shows the columns one after another starting in column A1 to column CP. I mean that the dates are correlative. But in version 10g the excel file generated shows the same report starting in column A to column T, only shows the 20 dates correlative corresponding to this columns, the rest of the dates are down the excel sheet in groups of 20 dates, it's something, the file in 6i grows across and in 10g grows down the excel sheet. The report (rdf file) is the same in 6i and 10g, I compiled the 6i version to obtain the 10g version. The excel sheet generated in 10g looks like the report was in pdf format, because PDF format, cuts the report in pages and the file grows down, if I generate the report in PDF format it has the same structure excel file in 10g has. I hope yo can help because I have days trying to solve this but I have no succes. If someone could help I could email the excel files generated in two versions. Here I put the code I use to generate the files in 6i and 10g. I have tried with DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET in 10g but the result is the same. Thanks for your help. Greetings for all.

END;There are two problems with your VI. First, the basic logic of writing/appending to a file (Excel, TDMS, anything) should go something like this: Open the file, position yourself at the end of the file, then, in the loop, acquire data and write it to the file until you are finished with data acquisition. When you exit the acquire/write to file loop, then close the file. In particular, the opening and the closing of the file should not be inside the loop.
As others have pointed out, writing to Excel might not be optimal, particularly if you are acquiring data at a high rate (and would therefore be writing a lot of data). We actually use Excel in our data acquisition routine, mainly reading from a WorkSheet to get the parameters of a particular stimulus, but also writing the outcome of the response to the stimulus. As it happens, our "acquisition rate" in this example is on the order of several samples per minute, so there's no problem using Excel (we also sample 16 channels of analog data at 1 KHz -- this gets written as a binary file).
Second, if you really do want to use Excel, use the (existing) Excel file to which you want to append as the "template" argument of the New Report function. Then use the Excel Get Last Row function to position yourself at "end of file", as noted above.
Good Luck.

Output from Reporting Agent in BW is inconsistent
Hi,
I have created a scheduled package of print type in reporting aget. The job runs successfully but once I check the spool in SM37, the output is not corrrect.
First it writes only characteristics and then below that it writes key figures. Both Char and Key Figures do not come in one line.
Not sure where have I gone in creating this scheduling package in reporting agent.
Any help is most welcome.
Thanks in Advance.
PrashantHi,
You can define threshold values (exceptions) for a query. Data that varies from these thresholds is highlighted in color or marked with icons. You can use these exceptions to identify deviations from expected results at a glance.
Defining and Changing Exceptions
1. In the Exceptions screen area, choose New Exception in the context menu. An entry with the default text Exception <Number> appears and you can edit the description directly.
2.In the context menu, choose Edit. The exception editor appears; it displays the relevant parts for the definition on tab pages.
You can also call the exception editor from the Properties screen area by choosing the Edit pushbutton.
3. Make the required settings for the definition of the exception. For more information, see Definition of Exceptions.
4. Choose OK. You return to the query definition.
5. Choose Save Query.
Removing Exceptions from Queries
1. In the Exceptions screen area, select the relevant exception and choose Remove in the context menu.
2. Choose Save Query.
Result
You have defined or changed an exception for a query. Execute the query. The exception is evaluated online. The cell areas that are affected by the exception appear highlighted in the appropriate color or, where applicable, with icons in Web applications.
You can display the exception descriptions and activate or deactivate the exceptions you want.

Urgent - Want a excel output from reports
I am giving DESTYPE = FILE
DESNAME
DESFORMAT = DELIMITED
I have break groups in the report . But the excel output comes out very ugly. Like it repeats the whole info and then it put heading horizontally.
here is the sample of the ugly file
Parent Rollup Id (TIER4) Parent name Revenue ID Name Source Type RevComp ID Rev Comp Name S2111 LINK PERIPHERAL PROCESSOR S2-LPP LINK PERIPHERAL PROCESSOR DMS250 FW
Parent Rollup Id (TIER4) Parent name Revenue ID Name Source Type RevComp ID Rev Comp Name S2111 LINK PERIPHERAL PROCESSOR S2-LPP LINK PERIPHERAL PROCESSOR DMS250 FW
well I have copied only two lines. BUt see how the whole info is being reporated. and the column heading are now row heading
any clue to port it into excel so that it looks like the the report builder output.
nullHi,
Change the Desforamt as Delimited and give the File name as file.xls and run the report
you will get the Excel Output but the total will be pronted On RHS for every row.Hope this would help you to print the report in Excel File.
Thanks,
Vikki

View output from report output,display with null row
Hi ,
I view report output through browser,but the output content include with a null row inside.Hi
That doesn't possible, so don't worry
what U need to consider is zoption-tdprogram has to have the name of main program, so the program where the variable are defined.
This field isn't usually filled, because the main program is the driver program (i.e the program where the sapscript is called), it need to fill it only if the program where the variable are defined is not the driver program.
So i believe this (your) code:
REPORT z_sapscript.
DATA TEST_NAME(20) TYPE c.
CLEAR usr01.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM usr01 WHERE bname = sy-uname.
zoption-tddest = usr01-spld. "Output device (printer)
zoption-tdimmed = 'X'. "Print immediately
zoption-tddelete = 'X'. "Delete after printing
test_name = sy-uname.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
EXPORTING
application = 'TX'
device = 'PRINTER'
dialog = 'space
form = 'Z_TEST_SAPSCRIPT'
language = sy-langu
OPTIONS = zoption
IMPORTING
language = sy-langu
EXCEPTIONS
OTHERS = 1.
IF sy-subrc 0.
LEAVE PROGRAM.
ENDIF.
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
EXPORTING
window = 'MAIN'
EXCEPTIONS
element = 1.

unopened = 1

It should work now

Form preview output from report
I am having a requirement to have the form print preview in the report output.
Steps to check form output:
T-code VF03 -> enter billing doc number -> click on billing document tab at the top of the screen -> click on the issue type to -> select any type -> then click print preview.
According to my requirement, the report selection screen is having only document number, and on executing it should directly display the form output.

Unable to view PDF output from Report Server
Help!
I have successfully setup CGI Report Server and can generate and view reports in IE5 as HTML repformat.
However when I try to generate output as PDF I do not get the report displayed. Instead I get a little acrobat icon displayed in the top left of the browser window.
When I click on the icon I get a IE5 message:
"There is no viewer available for the type of object you are trying to open....
Content Type: application/pdf"
...and then insists on taking me to Microsoft activex plugin page.
This is very stange as I DO have Adobe Acrobat Reader 4 installed and the plugin works ok when viewing PDF files on Oracle webpage.
Any suggestions on how to resolve are gratefully received!!
Regards,
Richard.You have run into an interesting problem. The problem is not with Reports. The problem is with Adobe. You can search Adobe's web site and they point to Microsoft (btw, this problem doesn't occur with netscape as the browser) Microsoft's web site point to Adobe.
The Problem is that the .ocx Adobe puts out for use with IE times out if the report take stoo long to start sending back data. We had report that worked and some that didn't. We took a report that worked and put a sleep command in it and when the sleep command got to 10 the report quit working.
My suggestion: move to netscape, make your reports as fast as absolutely possible.

Question 1) For Current Month Actual -- which I should map under Predefined Key Figure and what are the selection should I do. The same goes for Current Month Actual Last Year, YTD Actual and YTD Last Year.
Any I'm using Library 8A2 (PCA) which is 8A2-002
Please assist me

You'll need a columns defined with the period and years to do ty and py comparisons. Use a variable with a -1 to derive ly.
Stick with currency KSL which is profit center currency.

Spreadsheet output from reports posting to multiple cells instead of one
Hi all, using Report Builder 10.1.2.2.0
ORACLE Server Release 10.1.0.5.0.
I have a report that creates its output as an excel file using desformat=spreadsheet. The problem I am having is with fields that contain a large amount of text with formatting characters in them. In particular, carriage returns. When this data is created in excel, it treats the carriage return as a new cell, so instead of putting all the data for that column into one cell, it creates a number of cells and merges them all together.
Is there anyway to get around this? I know excel can support line breaks within a cell, is it a limitation of oracle reports to be unable to duplicate this output?For what it's worth, that's the way I read that line in the User Guide as well. What it actually appears to mean, though is 'Rules applied to multiple cells apply independently to each of the cells."
Here's a workaround for your three adjacent columns. Long, but fairly simple steps.
Add a second table to the sheet (Table 2).
Resize the second table to one column wide and as many rows as you want to apply the conditional format to.
Set the width of the column to the same width as the three columns you want to highlight, and the row height(s) to match the rows.
Format to table to have NO Header or Footer row or column.
Use the Wrap Inspector to uncheck "Object causes wrap"
In the first top cell of Table 2, enter an = sign, then Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, Click on the first cell that will hold YES or NO.
Fill the formula down the rest of Table 2.
With all cells in Table 2 selected, use the Cell Format inspector to set the 'text contains yes' rule and the conditional fill colour for these cells.
Test the conditional formating by introducing values into Table 1.
Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, then use the Table inspector to set Cell Fill to 'none'.
Click on Table 2 in the sidebar, then drag that table onto table 1 aligning it to cover the cells in which the conditional formating is to appear.
When positioned (and still selected), go to the Arrange menu and Send Backward to move Table 2 behind the (transparent) cells in Table 1.
With Table 2 still selected, click on the Cell Borders color well and set the Opacity of the borders to 0%.
Click the Text inspector and set the Text colour Opacity for Table 2 to 0%.
