Easy Reports Questions

Hi all,
Platform Windows NT/2000, Reports 2.5
I have to print the report to a file. The thing is that my report is very wide. It contains a lot of fields, and I want them all in one line, because ultimately it will be read in excel.
Now i set the MODE to "CHARACTER", and it prints to a file, fine. But when I increase the width of the page, it allows me to set the fields where I want them to, and when I run the report it shows fine in the screen but when printed to the file, it wraps into the other line.
Please guide my what to do.

Hi,
Actually the question on this topic is posted before
2 years then also i am giving the solutions for some
other members having the same problem.
You have to search for the file DFLT.PRT and
open this file in the Text Editor (Notepad).
Change the settings of the width from 80 to the
width you actually needed in the report output
(Say 350). Save the file.
And run the report and make the text file.
You will see the problem solved.

    You should check in the documentation about printer definition files (prt files). These files contain information about how character mode output is formatted.

  • Financial Reporting Question - Formula row Issue

    Hello,
    I have a financial reporting question and would like to have your inputs in order to achieve what I am trying to do.
    I have a report with two grids – grid 1 & grid 2. And there is a formula row in grid 2 that is “change between the two years” worth of data. The year and period combination is in the page of the grids.
    Formula row (in grid 2) = ((Grid1.[b,6]) - [b,6]) / [b,6]
    The issue is when I change the Page selection in Grid 1 the formula in grid 2 doesn’t get updated values unless and until I make a change in the grid 2 Page selection too. If I don’t make any changes in the page selection in grid 2 it keeps the data (looks like it is still considering the previously retrieved/calculated values) as it is without any update.
    How can I make the formula row in grid 2 dynamic so that it gets updated no matter what combination of page selection I make in either grid 1 or grid 2 or even if I just change something in grid 1 and nothing in grid 2?
    Please let me know your inputs. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Page POV will be specific to the grid.Why can't you try to have the POV at the report level.In the HTML view of the report,the report will give you a Drop Down to select POV for all Grids.Select All Grids option and then set the POV which will be same for both the grids (which you want) and all your formulas will work.

  • Havent a clue! Please help! Easy ABAP Question!

    Helly Gurus
    I am loading from a dso to a cube and doing a lookup on a second dso.
    eg
    'Name' is in the DSO1
    I lookup 'Address' from DSO2
    Then load to the cube.
    The problem is there may be more than one address so although I have coded the lookup to
    find all addresses, I do know how to get these into my results.
    Only the first address it finds is there.
    loop at DATA_PACKAGE.
        select * from DSO1 where
        NAME = DATA_PACKAGE-NAME.
        if sy-subrc = 0.
          move-corresponding DSO2 to itab1. collect itab1.
        endif.
        endselect.
      endloop.
    What do I need to do to get all of the results?
    I am in 3.5 so do not have the use of an End Routine.
    Thanks

    you need to do several treatments in fact you need to add records on the data_package (by the way it is not an easy ABAP question as you mentioned !)
    So
    Treatment 1: select all the records from ods2 table of adresses outside the loop
        select names adresses
        from ods2
        into table g_itab_ods2
          for all entries in data_package
          where name eq data_package-name.
    Treatment 2: delete double records of the internal table.
        delete adjacent duplicates from g_itab_ods2 comparing names adresses.
    Treatment 3: loop over the data_package. Within this loop read the internal ods2 table and loop over it to assign the corresponding adresses. Then append the results to the temporary data_package_tmp and move all the records to the initial data_package.
    loop at data_package assigning <data_fields>.
       read table g_itab_ods2 into l_g_itab_ods2
          with key name = <data_fields>-name.
          if sy-subrc eq 0.
            loop at g_itab_ods2 assigning <adresses>
            where name                = <data_fields>-name.
              <data_fields>-adresses= <adresses>-adresses.
              append <data_fields> to lt_data_package_tmp.
            endloop.
          endif.
        endloop.
        data_package[] = lt_data_package_tmp[].
    free lt_data_package_tmp.
    this should do what you want to do. hope this could help you out.

  • Updateable Report Question.

    Updateable Report Question.
    Currently I am developing an XE application, so I think that is apex 2.0.
    Here is an example of what I wish to achieve.
    Suppose I have an emp table with columns
    dept, id, name and comment.
    I create an SQL report as
    SELECT * from emp;
    I only wish to see the name and comment columns, so in the report attributes I un-tick show the columns dept and id.
    I want the user to be able to update the comment column, So I edit the comment column and in “Tabular Form Element” I change the “Display As” from “Standard Report Column” to “Text Field”
    This now lets me edit the data in the column in the report.
    Now want to add in an on change event to call a javascript routine that will use ajax to do the actual update.
    My problem is that I need to pass in the “hidden” dept and id column values as well as the modified text, thus
    In “Tabular Form Element” – “Element Attributes” add in
    onchange="updateRemarks(#DEPT#, #ID#, this.value)"
    Unfortunately this does not work, apex does not expand the #DEPT# & #ID#, and just passes in the literal text.
    So how can I achieve this?
    Thanks,
    GP>

    The columns and rows have a set format for the Id, so if you know one Id you know the row and the ids of all the other columns.
    As an example, this will show the value of column 6 when you click on any column with the function call in the Element Attributes:
    Script:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function showCol6(col){
      var col6 = document.getElementById("f06_" + col.id.substr(4,4));
      alert(col6.value);
    </script>Element Attributes:
    onclick=showCol6(this);You could also use a Named Column template, specific to this region, to include the column values directly in the function call, but I think it's best to stick with the ApEx defaults if possible.

  • BEx Variable in Webi Report questions

    Hi Gurus,
    Here is my issue.
    I created a BEx Query 0SD_C03 Cube with following fields
    Two Columns
    One Key Figure:                   Subtotal1
    One Restricted Key Figure:  Subtotal with restriction " Sales Organization 1000"
    Two Rows                             Plant, Sales Organization
    One Variable with Sales Organization.
    When I ran this query in BEx Analyzer I can see all Sales Organization values in prompt list, How ever when I created a Universe and ran a webi query I can see 1000 in the Sales Organization list.
    Is this because I have restricted Key Figure with Sales Organization 1000 in the query?
    I removed my Restricted Key Figure from my query and tried again this time I see some 10 Sales Oraganizations but I didn't see all available Sales Organizations. Does BO Universe LOVs restricte the list?
    Thanks

  • No columns in Easy Report to Add/Modify Condition

    I have created an Easy Report, selecting columns for the report. When I try to modify the report Conditions by selecting RPT, Query definition tab and clicking on the Column drop down, no columns appear.
    How can I add a Condition to an Easy Report?
    Thank you

    This happens in APEX Rel 2.0 as well. HTML DB 2 Day Developer Tutorial's "Chapter 3 - How to Create a Drill Down Report Structured SQL Query" displays no columns either.
    The fix is as in "Thread: upgrade to 1.6.1.00.02 breaks add/modify conditions" - convert "SQL Query (Structured SQL Query)" to "SQL Query"

  • Supply Shortage Report question

    Hi
    Supply Shortage Report question:
    In my cube I have material, 0calday, receipts and demand key figures.
    Formula for Supply Shortage = Receipts u2013 Demand.
    Users want to see number of consecutive days a particular productu2019s Supply shortage value is below zero.
    Input criteria:
    Date range:
    Consecutive days:
    For e.g. If user enters date range as u201C06/01/2010 u2013 07/31/2010u201D and Consecutive days as u201C4u201D they want to see all the products which have u2013ve Supply shortage values consecutively for 4days or more.
    Can anyone tell me how we can accomplish this in Bex? Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Sree

    Hi,
    Please check the follwoing option.
    Load the msae data in one more DSO which will be a lookup DSO. In that DSO theer will be a daily load with the date as "Historization Date" which will keep the Current date with every load. In that DSO calculate Shortage Indiactor
    Shortage Indicator 1 if Receipts < requirement.
    By doing this you will be having Data with Historization date (Daily) with an Indicator for Shortage.
    Now while loading this cube populate one Chracteritics a Shortage Counter by doing look up theis DSO.
    You need to Indicator in the DSO with today's date and historization date and you need to add the counter on the basis of avilable consecutive entries by putting a loop for the same.
    By this approach you may achieve your need.
    I hope it will help.
    Thanks,

  • Basic Crystal reports question

    Hello,
    I have a very basic question for you experts out there.
    I would like to create a Crystal report that would utilize queries i already have in B1. I believe this involves copying the query into the database so Crystal can use pull from the them.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks,

    Hello Charlie,
    It is easy. You could add your query in the initial part.  It is called command under Database Expert.

  • Report questions

    hi all,
             please send me the answer for the following questions,
    1.how to add extra column to the existing report.
    2.how to add new field to existing report.
    regards
    Suprith

    Hi
    for adding the extra field and column for the existing report  you add that field in the structure and put that field in the select statement and write statement.
    i am giving an example for better understanding.
    this is my existing report:
    tables:sflight.
    types: begin of st_table,
           carrid type s_carr_id,
           connid type s_conn_id,
          end of st_table.
    data:wa_table type st_table,
         it_table type standard table of st_table.
    select-options:s1 for sflight-carrid.
    select carrid connid  from sflight  into table it_table
        where carrid in s1.
    loop at it_table into wa_table.
    write:/ wa_table-carrid,
            wa_table-connid.
            endloop.
    this is modified one:
    tables:sflight.
    *----structure declaration
    types: begin of st_table,
           carrid type s_carr_id,
           connid type s_conn_id,
           fldate type s_date,"i add this field into this structure
            end of st_table.
    data:wa_table type st_table,
         it_table type standard table of st_table.
    select-options:s1 for sflight-carrid.
    select carrid connid fldate from sflight  into table it_table
        where carrid in s1."i put that field in select statement
    loop at it_table into wa_table.
    write:/ wa_table-carrid,
            wa_table-connid,
            wa_table-fldate."here i wrote that field
            endloop.
    if you execute this you will get that extra field and extra column for that existing report.

  • Simple Report Question

    Post Author: scott123
    CA Forum: General
    I want to take the information in a simple excel table and recreate it 3 times, each time sorting/grouping on a different columnHere is the tableAnd here is the report that I'm trying to generate (first sorted by name, alphabetically, then grouped by rank, then grouped by size) I'm comfortable working with excel tables in Crystal, but I'm running into a problem repeating the information and then sorting each group separately. I also have no problem doing each group in a single report (without repeating any records), but I'd like to include all 3 groups in a single report.  My apologies for how remedial this question is- I thought for sure that Crystal could do this easily but I've spent a couple of days on this and am running into a brick wall.

    That's right Scott, and maybe make them "on demand"
    sub reports so the user only has to see the data they
    really want at the moment.  Gives the report a nice clean look too.

  • Multiple Column Report Question

    Post Author: LCS213
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    I'm creating a student transcript report that has multiple columns, and is three groups deep.  The first two groups need to be in a columnar layout. However, I'd like the third group to contain a subreport that spans the width of the entire page. 
    Are there any options within Crystal XI to do this?  I know in the Section Expert, i can format the detail level with multiple columns, and on the Layout tab, I can select "Format Groups with multiple columns".  But that seems like it either formats ALL groups or NO groups.  Am I mistaken?  Is there a workaround I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance for any help on this issue!

    Hi Dan,
    According to your description, we are not clear about the “6 sections for each Additional task”. Do you mean six data records? If so, based on my understanding, there are three groups and eighteen records in your report. You want to make those records appear
    on eighteen separated pages, right?
    In Reporting Service, we can add a page break to groups within data regions to control the amount of information on each page. In your scenario, you should add page break to group “Sub task”, group “Additional Task” and details. As we tested in our environment,
    add page break to these records, the report appears in eighteen pages. Please refer to steps below:
    1.On Group Properties of Details1, choose “Between each instance of a group” option on Page Breaks page. Please refer to screenshot below:
     Choose same option on Group Properties for group “Month” and “Name”.
    2.Click drop-down button next to Column Groups, then choose Advanced Mode.
    3.Click on Static under Row Groups, set RepeatOnNewPage as True in Tablix Member Properties.
    4.Click Preview, the results before and after adding page break look like below:
    If you still have any question, please post some detail information or screenshot about the report design you expect.
    Best regards,
    Qiuyun Yu
