Delimiteddata

Iam trying to export the report output to csv using delimteddata format. I would like to pass parameter value as the name of Xml tag dynamically. Can I dynamically change the name in Xml Tag of any column?
Thanks in advance.

hello,
delimiteddata is creating its output off the datamodel rather than the layout.
you might want to look into running the report in character mode to produce the output you want.

  • Report delimiteddata option. How to hide summary fields.

    Hi,
    I have a report which has Summary Items
    eg:
    Department: Production
    Name Salary
    John 1000
    Jack 2000
    Total 3000
    Department: Quality
    Name Salary
    Harry 1200
    Sally 800
    Total 2000
    This is how it comes in PDF format.
    Now I want to show the same report in Excel format also. Here I want it to be plain data without any formatting and Summary Items (Total field) as below
    Department Name Salary
    Production John 1000
    Production Jack 2000
    Quality Harry 1200
    Quality Sally 800
    I tried delimiteddata option. However the report comes as below
    Department Total Name Salary
    Production 3000 John 1000
    Production 3000 Jack 2000
    Quality 2000 Harry 1200
    Quality 2000 Sally 800
    How can I remove the column Total ??
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards
    Sajan

    Hi Sajan,
    Go to the property inspector of the summary field.
    Under XML settings, exclude from XML tag set it to Yes

  • Report in delimiteddata format.

    Hello , my report is generated in "delimiteddata" format . I use the following code in oracle form builder :
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(v_report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'DelimitedData'); to call the report .
    However the column name of each field in my report is the name of the field in the database . I would like to have a user-defined column name to be displayed . Is that possible ? What changes do I need to make in my report query if any ? I tried adding an alias in my report query :
    e.g select EMP_NAME AS EMPLOYEE_NAME
    But that didn't work . Any help please ? Thanks.

    I would like to have a user-defined column name to be displayed . Is that possible ?yes. Catch the user-defined names in Forms and pass them as parameters to Reports and replace what wanted to be replaces.

  • Very Urgent - DELIMITEDDATA question for MS Excel reports

    Hi,
    I have several queries, formula , place holder, summary columns in my data model view. Is there any way I can control the order in which they appear on the delimiteddata file. A lot of the reports I have a pretty complex with summaries at multiple hierarchical levels. The users are adamant that they want these reports for MS Excel. Is there anything I can do to control the order and placement of the data in my data model view ?
    I am using Oracle Reports 6i (6.0.8.22.0) or patch 13, I believe.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    The DELIMITEDDATA desformat is a primarily data-driven format, and thus allows only limited control over the layout of the data in the output.
    Another option you can try is to generate to Excel directly using web reporting and Excel templates in Reports 9i, as explained in the 'Output to Excel with Oracle9i Reports' on OTN at http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html. Using this technique, you can use the Reports JSP tags and HTML to customize your report's Excel output.

  • Tab Delimited report using DelimitedData

    Hi All,
    While I try to generate a tab delimited report using DelimitedData, the first line appears as blank line. I can understand thats because I have removed the heading from XML Tag attribute for all the columns.
    But how to stop this blank line from appearing?
    Any help/idea will be highly appreciated.
    TIA,
    Gautam

    Can you give more detail about what you are trying to achieve?
    How have you determined that the tabs are not working?
    Are you saving to a file and then opening the file and there are spaces instead of tabs? Or are there no spaces at all?
    I created a simple report with the following SQL
    select 'xxx'||chr(9)||'yyy'||chr(9)||'zzz' as tabbed_column
    from dual
    and get the output
    tabbed_colulmn
    xxx yyy zzz
    What DESFORMAT are you using?

  • DELIMITEDDATA with Scheduled report problem

    We are having problems with a report that should be generated as delimited data (CSV) that should be returned to the client and displayed in Excel as delimited data. Also, we need the report(s) to be scheduled so they will execute and the results cached for the user to view them at a later time. If we set the MIME type correctly for Excel and Schedule the report, the results are just displayed in the browser instead of in Excel. If we remove the Schedule parameter the report results are displayed correctly in Excel.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to get the "cached" report results to be returned and displayed in Excel?
    Here are some sample URLs that we are using. Both work with the exception of being displayed in the browser versus Excel as I described above.
    Generated to cache, but is displayed in browser as plain text when viewing results from SHOWJOBS:
    http://our_host/reports/rwservlet?paramform=no&destype=cache&MIMETYPE=application/vnd.ms-excel&desformat=delimiteddata&delimiter=tab&schedule=now&report=detail_worksheet
    Generated to cache, but is correctly displayed in Excel as delimited data:
    http://our_host/reports/rwservlet?paramform=no&destype=cache&MIMETYPE=application/vnd.ms-excel&desformat=delimiteddata&delimiter=tab&report=detail_worksheet
    Thanks
    Erik

    I have the impression that when you use the showjobs option you view the data from the reports server whilst when you use the cache option it gets pushed to you,. That might explain why the mimetype option is not working.

  • Delimiteddata and number format mask

    Hi,
    I need to export data from my report to a csv format in reports 6i.
    I installed patch 12 so I can use the delimiteddata format.
    This works but I do have problems with the number format.
    I formatted all of the number fields so they appear as desired in the report when running in C/S mode.
    I learned that you can use the number format, date format and cell wrapper variables for delimited and delimiteddata formats.
    These parameters do work with delimited output but they don't when generating delimiteddata.
    Only when I start the reports builder with numberformatmask=something on the command line then the number format given on the command line will be used. but then you cannot change it (even not in the dialog when generating a delimited format) anymore once reports builder is open.
    Is there a solution for this problem or is it fixed in a later patch (I haven't seen anything new in then patch 13 notes).

  • Urgent - DELIMITEDDATA question

    How to eliminate some columns that exist in the data model from the delimited output ?
    How to change the column header names in the delimited output?
    How to eliminate Place holder, Formula, Summary columns in the delimited output?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply Sripathy. I found out that we can actually eliminate the columns or any data model elements by simply doing the following:
    Go to Property Pallete for the elment,
    Under the xml settings use XML Tag (for changing names) and Exclude from XML output (Yes - to exclude on the delimiteddata output).
    This works for the XML o/p as well as the delimiteddata o/p.
    Thanks

  • Dynamically show/hide columns for DelimitedData output

    My users want to see only dynamic sets of data from the same report query.
    For example, if the query returns:
    Date, Widget1Count, Widget2Count, ..., WidgetZCount
    User1 wants to see Date and counts for widgets 1,2, 5, and 10
    User2 wants to see Date and counts for widgets 2, 3, 4, 5, 10-20.
    Uset3 wants to see Date and widget 99 count.
    I don't want to write a custom report for every single user nor do I want to create Z! number of queries to satisfy every possible request combination.
    I wonder, is there a way to change "Exclude from XML Output" property for a particular query field(s) from a report AfterPForm or BeforeReport trigger?

    Hi,
    I had the same problem, but I saw the Metalink document: 340793.1, which gave the solution I needed.
    In my case, I needed to limit the number of columns being outputted in a DELIMITEDDATA format based on a user parameter.
    I ended up with the following code in my After PForm trigger, which did the job.
    BEGIN
    SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<report DTDVersion="1.0">');
    SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<customize>');
    -- For those columns I want displayed, Set the XMLSuppress property to False
    FOR tmp IN 1 .. 10 LOOP
    SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<object name="col_'||LPAD(TO_CHAR(tmp), 3, '0')||'_title" type="REP_COL_MAP">');
    SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<properties>');
    SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<property name="XMLSuppress">False</property>');
    SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</properties>');
    SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</object>');
    END LOOP;
    -- For those column I don't want displayed, Set the XMLSuppress property to True
    FOR tmp in 11 .. 100 LOOP
    SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<object name="col_'||LPAD(TO_CHAR(tmp), 3, '0')||'_title" type="REP_COL_MAP">');
    SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<properties>');
    SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<property name="XMLSuppress">True</property>');
    SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</properties>');
    SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</object>');
    END LOOP;
    SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</customize>');
    SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</report>');
    SRW.APPLY_DEFINITION;
    END;
    I hope this helps with your problem.

  • DelimitedData and the Chinese language

    Hi,
    When I use the following parameter string in my url, the report opens up nicely in Excel format in the browser.
    ...&desformat=delimiteddata&mimetype=application/vnd.ms-excel&destype=cache...
    The problem is that the column headers do not show up in Chinese.
    If I generate this same report in pdf format, the Chinese words are there.
    The table column names are in English but the alias names used in the query are in Chinese. The headers in the report definition are also expressed in Chinese.
    Anybody out there having experience from this?

    Hi
    The master language for a Smartforms is the language used while was creating, so your logon language.
    Now when the smartform is called the system load all texts of the masterlanguage, but in the CONTROL_PARAMETERS parameter of function module generated by sf, you can indicate other languages:
    LANGU       -
    Master Language
    REPLANGU1   -
    Second Language
    REPLANGU2   -
    3°     Language
    REPLANGU3   -
    4°     Language
    If field LANGU is empty (here you can transfer the comunication language), master language is the smartform language.
    The system'll try to print the text for language stored in LANGU, if there isn't it'll try to print the text in language stored in REPLANGU1 and so...
    If the smartform isn't translate it'll always use the master langue of sf.

  • Can you open a report in Excel/Word desktop instead of the web pugin?

    using run_report_object( and web.show_document,
    how or can you get a report to open in the desktop/full version of MS Excel/Word instead of the web plugin versions?
    I can get the browser to open a report in pdf with my desktop adobe reader, but not with an rtf or xml/delimited desformat.
    Currently I don't pass a mimetype when opening as a pdf, but I do pass one in the url when i am destypes of xml, delimited and rtf,
    as this is the only way i have found out how to open the reports in word/excel.

    What you could try is downloading the report to the client pc using WEBUTIL_FILETRANSFER.URL_TO_CLIENT, then open the locally save file using something like:
    CLIENT_HOST('cmd /c rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "localfilename"');

    I am not quite sure what either of you are after, but if you hit the "Documentation" link on OTN you will find the documentation, such as the above list, for almost all of Oracle products. Most are available online in HTML format or PDF and some have a part number so that they can be ordered.
    The 10g Developer Suite Documentation is here: http://otn.oracle.com/documentation/dev10g.html

  • Report in excel

    I have a report to be designed in pdf and excel and i am using Report Builder 10g.
    when the report is generated in pdf it is absolutely correct but when generated in excel, one of the repeating frame which should be displayed at second position in the report is displayed at the last part.
    How is it decided which frame should come at what position? I use delimiteddata option for my report.

    Ashish, following link is about DelimitedData output. You have to use Delimited output to get benifit of your existing report layout.
