Export to text problem

Hi ! Everyone,I'm using crystal report 7. I report file which is calling from PB. Crystal report display the output properly.When I'm trying to export to text format..it exports properly excepts few text columns get TRUNCATES....I have checked CharPerInch setting is available for 8.5 onwards .for CR7 is there any patch.... Also i want to suppress "Number and Date Format Dialog" dialog box which appears exporting to crystal report to CSV formatcould you help?Thanx ....Vishwas

I am assuming PB is Power Builder. The issues with PB in CR 7 was that PB could get structure sizes properly. The fix was to build and app using MS C++, run in debug mode and get the actual size required and add that value to PB.
Also, CR 7 is well past it's life cycle so we have no more samples or patches available.
Please upgrade to a develoment tool that supports .NET Assemblies and CR Xi R2 or above.

Crystal Report 2008 export to text problem

Hello,
I am using Crystal Reports 2008 for generating reports in our WPF application. In this application, we are exporting the report to txt file on a button click. Now the application contains a form called u2018Print Manageru2019, through which the user can print the exported report(text files). Now the issue, when we try to the any of the exported report file through the application, the printer leaves alternate blank pages. The printer used in this case is DOT MATRIX EPSON LQ-1150II ESC/P2. We even tried printing the text file on HP Laser jet 4600, but the same issue is faced.
Also, please note that when I try to read the exported txt file, a formfeed(u2018\fu2019 page break) character can be seen at the place where the printer leaves a blank page. Hence, my concern is, Is there any property of crystal report that I am missing on or is this a printer driver issue? But if it would have been a driver issue, then changing the printer might have solved the issue.
I also tried doing u2018Keep Togetheru2019 property = false of all the sections of the report. Also, I found that the u2018New Page Afteru2019 property = true and disabled for the u2018Page Footeru2019 section. So I set u2018New Page Afteru2019 property = false programmatically as
rdTest.ReportDefinition.Sections["Section5"].SectionFormat.EnableNewPageAfter = false;
but no luck.
If anyone has faced similar problem or have any clues, please help!
Any kind of help in solving this issue will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation!

Good morning.
We've got something to get straight first
When you say "...from the Report Viewer. The report printed as expected on HP printer...", do you mean the viewer of the .NET app, or the viewer of the CR designer?
And version 12.0.0.683, is very old (well as far as CR is concerned anyhow ). That version is SP 1, we are now on SP 2. So that will be the place to start. Get to SP 2 which can be downloaded from here;

Many problems with the 'Export to Text' (.txt) in CR Xi

Hi,
I have listed many problems with the 'Export to Text' (.txt) function of CR Xi.
These problems are related to this export format only (meaning everything works fine in the Viewer or in the 'Export to PDF')...
- Multi-columns layout do not export as Multi-column (export only a one column);
- Numeric values with parenthesis for negative values or with a fix currency sign at the leftmost position are not exported correctly;
- Fields having a Suppress formula which is "WhilePrintingRecords" do not appears when exported;
- Fields with 'Suppress double value' checked are not always suppressed when exported to Text.
- 'Keep Group Together' flag is not working.
- 'Reset Page Number After' simply does not works when exported to text;
- 'Keep object together' on TextBox/Section is not working.
- Whenever a group is ending on the last line of a page, the the following page as the same Group header as the previous group with no records until the page is filled, then the PageBreak and PageHeader is missing but the records of the following group appears.
I would like to know what is the status of the 'Export to Text' function (is it a deprecated function not supported anymore???).
If still supported, when will these bugs be fixed???
Thanks

Hi Rene
Export to Text is supported till date. Crystal Reports 2008 also supports this with Keep together working however when I tried with format with multiple columns, it didnot show up in the exported text file.

Exporting text problem

When I use the article panel to export to epub the first page text exports fine, but when I create additional articles and select any text from any pages after that it always places the first page text in again. The text is linked from page to page so is there a setting which will allow me to drag text from a new page and it not being exported as only the the text in page 1. Just so I'm clear example is
text box on page 1 reads
Going green is no longer a trend, it’s a lifestyle. We are consuming less, but we are reading labels more, and we’re much more aware of making our purchases count. We’re also factoring in a value differential that encompasses fair trade, sustainability, and giving back (corporate social responsibility programs).
When it comes to beauty, not only are organic and natural products healthy, they are stylish, sophisticated, and luxurious, and they really work. The granola-crunchy days of green beauty are gone. The question now becomes: “Why wouldn’t I use them?” As consumers eat healthier foods and embrace more sustainable lifestyles, it’s inevitable that they are drawn to natural and organic beauty, because they are thinking, big-picture, in terms of what is safest and healthiest to put in and on their bodies.
text box on page two reads
On a global scale, consumers are beginning to connect the dots, think about their beauty products, and ask, “What is that washing down my drain, and how does that impact my health and the health of the environment?” When we apply moisturizer—if the molecule is small enough—it penetrates through the skin and directly into the bloodstream. In fact, penetrability has been a selling point in the industry for years.
When create a new article and drag the text on page 2 I instead end up with the text repeated from page one.
Follow?
Any help?

OK after doing some experimenting I have narrowed this problem down to the following.
If I just export an .indd file as an epub I get ALL content but obviously not in the correct order.
It's when I use the articles panel and THEN export is when threaded text does not export right.
For instance, if I have 3 pages with images, graphics and threaded text I would select the text box and drag the first text box to the articles panel. It will drag the proper amount of text that is displayed within the box. But when I go to select the second or third textbox ( which is threaded from the previous page) it copies the same text from the first box, NOT THE CONTINUATION.
I have tried this with other .indd files to see if it was confined to onefile but this happens with ALL my .indd files that ghave threaded text. So the problem lies within using the articles panel and exporting threaded text to an e pub file.
Below is a link to a .zip file which has a 3 page .indd files that I used to try this.
Link to a 3 page sample is here

This is very odd to me as this cannot be as I'm sure there has to be a preference or something I'm doing wrong.
Thanks for looking into this.

Hi Avinash
To download such characteres you need to adjust code page to be used during export. You can review SAP note 73606 to identify which code page is required for this language

Export to Text failing when Report height is more than 23 inches

I have a problem while exporting to Text, when report height is more than 23 inches. It's failing with "an unhandled exception occurred in crw32.exe [3856]"
Both Crystal Reports 2008 and Crystal Reports XI Release 2 are failing. Export to PDF is working fine.
I am trying to design a lengthy report and export to text.
I searched in forum with out any results.
It would be great, if some body can point me in right direction. Thank you.

Export to text - formatting

Post Author: Ralphred
CA Forum: .NET
Im trying to export a report to a .txt from within a vs2005 program, using CRXIr2. I have been able to export to the text file through code since the option to export to text isn't available for some reason when in vs2005. The problem I have now is that when I try to change the Characters Per Inch Textformatting option they do not change and the report gets exported with the default of 12 characters per inch, and some of my data is cut off.
Here is the code that I am using and would really appreciate if anyone knows a way around this and can help out.
Thanks
Public Sub ExportToText(ByVal ReportName As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument, ByVal ParamName() As String, ByVal ParamValues() As String)
Dim MyReportDocument As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument = ReportName
Dim Field As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValues
Dim Value As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue
Try
If Not ParamName Is Nothing Then
For i As Integer = 0 To ParamName.Length - 1
Field = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValues
Value = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue
Value.Value = ParamValues(i)
Field.Add(Value)
MyReportDocument.DataDefinition.ParameterFields(ParamName(i)).ApplyCurrentValues(Field)
Next
End If
Dim exportOpts As New ExportOptions
Dim diskOpts As DiskFileDestinationOptions
diskOpts = ExportOptions.CreateDiskFileDestinationOptions()
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportOptions.CreateTextFormatOptions.CharactersPerInch = 16
exportOpts.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Text
exportOpts.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
diskOpts.DiskFileName = "c:\exporttotext.txt"
exportOpts.ExportDestinationOptions = diskOpts
'**************************************** Here is where I set and nothing happens
ExportOptions.CreateTextFormatOptions.CharactersPerInch = 16
MyReportDocument.Export(exportOpts)
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Print Report")
Finally
MyReportDocument.Close()
MyReportDocument.Dispose()
End Try
End Sub

Yes. Use character styles, and map XML tags to the styles. It's the same process as for paragraph styles.

Export to text removes trailing spaces in XI R2

I've found an article that talks about the problem of the export to text removing trailing spaces, but the article mentions that this is fixed in Crystal Reports XI with a newer version of u2ftext.dll to version 11.0.0.941.
[1218375 - Trailing spaces ignored when exporting to Text format|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313338333333373335%7D.do]
I'm using Crystal Reports XI R2 and my u2ftext.dll version is already 11.5.11.1470.
I'm I missing something or is there another solution to the issue in XI R2?
Thanks,

2 Years, multiple people are asking this question.......Does anyone in support have a response for keeping the trailing spaces intact during export?

CSV Export - Foreign Character Problem

Hi,
We have created a report which queries records from various countries. The problem we are having is with foreign characters (eg: Ã¼, Ã, Ã, Ã¤ etc). These characters are being displayed correctly in the browser however when we export to Excel (CSV) file they get turned into something like (Â¼, Â¤, Â¶, Æ).
Could someone please explain why this might be happening and if possible suggest a fix or workaround?
Many thanks,
Richard.

Hi,
I've been looking into this problem a bit further and it appears that all of the foreign characters are being correctly written to the .CSV file during the export. The problem is when Excel tries to open the .CSV file. I'm guessing that my characters don't fall into the .CSV's UTF-8 format, therefore Excel swaps them with other characters.
If you're interested here is my work around to this problem:
1) Open the .CSV file in Notepad
2) Select All then Copy
3) Paste into blank Excel document
4) Highlight Column A and select Data -> Text to Columns
5) Select Delimited then make sure only Comma is ticked
6) Click Finish
-- My original characters are now intact.
7) Finally save as .XLS
Regards,
Richard.

Paul,
I'm the moderator here, and your response, in my opinion, was out of line. Daniel is a long-time vounteer here, and I see no evidence to suggest anything in your accusations.
In fact I would say your first post, made some rather egregious presumptions that your problem and that of harooki2 were the same, all evidence to the contrary. In his case he said that the type was visible in overprint preview, which categorically eliminates the possibility that it was set to non-printing in the attibutes panel. Though he might have phrased it better, Daniel was suggesting that had you followed the suggestion to check overprint preview and reported that the text (or whatever) disappeared, the first suggestion that any of us here would have made would be to check the attributes for non-printing. In fact, that's precisely why he suggested that check in the first response to this thread, to eliminate that as a possibility and quickly establish how complex the problem is.

Hello i need a help about script to export translatable text strings from ai files and import them back

Hello i need a help about script to export translatable text strings from ai files and import them back after editing, thanks in advance

Lanny -
Thank you for taking the time to help with this problem. Can I just say however that as someone who has posted a first comment here and quite clearly never used a forum like this before, your comment unfortunately comes across as very excluding. It makes me feel there are a set of unwritten rules that I should know, and that I don't know them shows that the forum is not for me. In short, it's exactly the kind of response that stops people like me using forums like this.
I'm sure it's not intended to be received like this and I am sure that the way you have responded is quite normal in the rules of a forum like this. However, it is not normal for those of us who aren't familiar with forums and who only encounter them when they have a genuine problem. This is why I hope it is helpful to respond in full.
The reason I posted here is as follows. I was directed here by the apple support website. The original comment seemed to be the only one I could find which referred to my issue. As there is no obvious guidance on how to post on a forum like this it seemed perfectly reasonable to try and join in a conversation which might solve more than one problem at once.
Bee's reply however is both helpful and warm. This could in fact be a template for how new members should be welcomed and inducted into the rules of the forum in a friendly and inclusive way. Thank you very much indeed Bee!

SP01 export as text

Hello,
In transaction SP01, I am trying to 'Spool request/Forward/Export as text' a spool.
But the red error 'Access to file denied' appears in the status bar.
Nothing else is indicated. No dump on ST22, no message on SM21.
i guess is a SAP Gui (7.20) issue as the problem appears in several systems.
Could you help me? Which file is access denied ?
Regards,

Hi,
For me it's rather problem with access to directory. My guess is that you're trying to store data in unexisting path or you have no write access to this directory.
Best regards

Exporting SMS text messages from the Treo 680

What options are available to export SMS text messages and call logs from the Treo 680? I need to create hard copys for evedence in a court case. I back-up files to the Palm Desktop on a Mac OS-X.
I have searched through the Palm guide, but no discussion on extracting the SMS data. I understand that the sms messages are in the file "Messages Database.pdb" and the call log is in "PhoneCallDB.pdb", question is how to extract the records.

Export to Text File

Post Author: hepburn
CA Forum: Exporting
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite which I believes has Crystal Reports 10 installed.I'm trying to export to a text file. Here's the code I have so far: DiskFileDestinationOptions diskOpts = ExportOptions.CreateDiskFileDestinationOptions(); // set the export format ExportOptions exportOpts = new ExportOptions(); exportOpts.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.RichText; exportOpts.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile; diskOpts.DiskFileName = AbsolutePath("c:/pleasework.txt"); exportOpts.ExportDestinationOptions = diskOpts; _crReportDocument.Export(exportOpts);Is RichText the only text option I have?? I've been googling and it sounds like I may need to install a dll to export to text. Can anyone confirm that?Thanks much...

Export to Text file does not page

Since I applied SP 7 for Crystal 9, when I export a report to a text file it does not page and print the report header on each page. It prints the report header once and one lone continuous page of information. My report was export to text with a page header on each page before I applied the service pack. How do I get it to page in the text export and print the page header on each page?

In 8.5 the default behavior of the export to text was to not paginate. With 9 you have a paginate option when you manually export data to text, however when processing in batch
Mary Vertz wrote:
export in the background
you had no such option and it simply defaulted to 60 even for those reports that were suppressing the page header. This causes those text files to have a new-page marker at the start of every 62nd line. This causes the data on that line to be moved 1 character to the right and caused many issue with 8.5 backwards compatibility as this functionality was used for flat file interfaces for instance with the bank for positive pay.
In SP7 they addressed this issue and changed the default behavior to not paginate and enabled a parameter to be passed to control pagination during batch processing.
If that
database application
is PeopleSoft, the parameter that needs to be added to the process request is -LN<number of lines> ex. -LN60
Also note that the CPI can be set via the command line as well. For PeopleSoft it's -CPI<numerical value> which defaults to 12 if it isn't specified.
Unfortunately I do not have the SP7 release notes handy to provide more detail on these options.
Thanks
