Changing font color in a report using SQL query for APEX 5.0

Hello,
I am testing APEX 5.0 in my testing environment to see if I can migrate my internal apps from 4.2 to 5.0.
How can I change the font color in a field based in the SQL query? I know how to do it in 4.2 but I can't find the same in 5.0.
Thanks,

Well, I used to put the html tags in the select as text getting the color value depending a CASE , then I had to change the Display attribute for the column in the report as "Display as text (espace special characters...)".
I found an old post here: https://tylermuth.wordpress.com/2007/12/01/conditional-column-formatting-in-apex/ and this method still worked for me in APEX 5.0
Thanks anyways

Alternating row color for CF report Builder?

I have a user who wants one of her reports to display
alternating row colors for better read clarity. The reports are
rather lengthy and the rows tend to blend in with eachother.

Thanks Epulfy. I am going to give this a try later today.
Much appreciated
EDIT:: This does work. however I'm not sure how to set a
rectangle to the background of the report so it's behind my
details. I draw the rectangle and it just hides whatever I want to
display. When I look at the report it does alternate with rows, but
I can only see details from the rows that it does not alternate on.
Any clue how to set it to the background?

Report Builder - Previewer - Menu File - Generate to File

Hi all,
I am using report 6. I execute myreport from form and in the previewer I try to convert my report in pdf format from the given option File - Generate to File - pdf. It creates the pdf file but no data of the report exist. It is a plain report with data. Can anyone help me in solving this problem.
If I run the report from my form by passing parameter as destype - File and desformat - pdf then the pdf is created with data.
Can I know what is the purpose of the option given in previewer/screen to convert the displayed report in various formats when it is not possible or it doesn't convert in that format.
Please help me

Hello,
There was a bug about this kind of problem in the First versions of Reports 6.
I suggest to apply the latest patchset

Change font color in Report Code causes font size to change.

I am trying to dynamically change the font color in a report, red for negative, green for positive and blue for 0. I have created a report region and here is my code:
select city_name,
py_re_taxable,cy_re_taxable,
decode(sign(re_chg),-1,''||re_chg||'',
0,''||re_chg||'',
1,''||re_chg||'','') RE_CHG
from rc_dashboard_recap a, lk_city_code b
where b.tax_year = :CURRENT_TAX_YEAR
and a.city_code = b.city_code
and userid = :GLOBAL_USER
order by 1
This code works great except it overrides my css text size and shows up as a page default size. I can't seem to figure out why this happens. This also happens when I try to sum a column. I've set my font size to 11 in my css and it is calling it correctly, however with the above code, my font size shows up at 12 or so.
I am looking at the code (view source from my page and it shows the correct class
<td class="t3dataalta" align="right" >-13.98
in my css:
td.t3dataalta{font-size:11px;padding:2px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:5px;}
If I remove the decode statements with the font color then my font size is correct, but I need to figure out how to make the colors work.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank You

select city_name,
py_re_taxable,cy_re_taxable,
decode(sign(re_chg),-1,'font color="red"'||re_chg||'/font',
0,'font color="blue"'||re_chg||'/font',
1,'font color="green"'||re_chg||'/font','') RE_CHG
from rc_dashboard_recap a, lk_city_code b
where b.tax_year = :CURRENT_TAX_YEAR
and a.city_code = b.city_code
and userid = :GLOBAL_USER
order by 1
Here is my query, I removed the < and > signs in the code so that you could see what I have done.

Change font color in reports depending on condition

I have an application that generates a number of new records at
the click of a button, which the user can then modify through
several report-form links. My users have requested that the data
appear in one color in the reports if they have not yet updated
the records, and that they change color, permanently, when
updated. I'm not sure how to accomplish this. I do well with
PLSQL, but I think this is probably a Javascript issue(?) - or
is it possible to specify font color of a report when you call a
URL?
Any ideas anyone?

Thank you, both Michaels. I was excited. I was sure this would
work, so I added the updated_by fields to all my reports (they
should be useful anyway). I worked on a couple of other issues
related to this, and returnred this morning to add the HTML font
tags to my report queries. I CAN'T MAKE IT WORK! I've attached
my code, and error message. Any thoughts on what I'm doing
wrong? Thanks.
(Note: The query works fine without the HTML tags.)
My code:
select ''||activity.act_text||'' act_text,
from Activity, survey, temp
where activity.survey_id = survey.survey_id and
survey.survey_id = temp.survey
Error message:
Unable to describe SQL statement. Please correct it (WWV-13010)
Invalid SQL statement: SELECT ''||ACTIVITY.ACT_TEXT||'' ACT_TEXT, FROM
ACTIVITY, SURVEY, TEMP WHERE ACTIVITY.SURVEY_ID =
SURVEY.SURVEY_ID AND SURVEY.SURVEY_ID = TEMP.SURVEY (WWV-13005)

Oracle reports builder and Win7 aero theme

Hi,
I did sucessfully instaled Oracle reports builder 10gR2 (e.g. Oracle Developer Suite 10gR2 and patch 10.1.2.3) on Win7 x64 Enterprize. There was a few workarounds, but it is now ok.
Everything works just fine now, but that blink and baloon message that came on change of color sheme to Windows classic is annoying! Every time I run the Report Builder, windows is forced to change the Aero scheme ti Classic. OK, I figgured out, that if I do not use Aero, this is not an issue anymore. For me it's ok, but other developers in our company will not be glad :)
The same problem persist at Oracle SQL developer, but there is a solution for it with little change in "sqldeveloper.conf" file "AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true" .
Is there any similar setting for Report builder too?
I would be werry appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
Have you used 64-bit binaries?
Here are the steps that you need to make sure you have accomplished themL
1- JDK 64 bits to be used
2- wls1036_generic.jar (java -jar wls1036_generic.jar) or wls1035_generic.jar . It is mandatory to use java from a 64 bits distribution. Using java 32 bits will cause problems.
3- ofm_frmrpts_win_11.1.2.0.0_64_disk1_1of1.zip
An workaround is offered in the following thread:
Oracle Reports 11g installation problem

To set generic fonts in report builder

hi,
i have an issue regardign the fonts.
Even if i change the reports to use generic font names like Arial
instead of Arial(Western), the Report builder after reopening the
report is changing it to Arial(Western)

You seem to be posting to the wrong forum. There is no "report builder" feature in the Oracle Workspaces application.

Oracle Report Builder Font diffrenece in different O/S

Dear All,
The report that I have developed in windows environment using Oracle Report Builder while running in Solaris environment displaying wrong character. Basically I am trying to display Portuguese character in my report, its working fine while running in windows environment where as when I run the same in Solaris environment its displaying wrong character.
Sample:
In Windows Environment the word that I am trying to display is - RESUMO DE TARIFAGCO POR BANCO
where as its displaying wrong in Solaris environment - RESUMO DE TARIFA?O POR BANCO
Thanks in advance to provide solution.

Hi
Reports builder picks up the font information from the display server and printer. In case you need the same font to appear in layout editor and paper design i.e live-previewer, make sure respective fonts are installed in your display server for the character sets you are using. If you are running the report to file with pdf/html format etc or to the printer, make sure the required printer fonts are installed. PLease also refer Font document on otn under Reports doc section.
Thanks

How do you set NLS_LANG environment variable in report builder

How do you set up the reports builder environment to display foreign fonts.
So far what I read makes me think that in report builder I have to set the NLS_LANG environment variable .
If anyone has done this is that true and if so how.
Also the languages I want to use are the following.
Armenian
Cambodian
Chinese
Russian
Tagalog
Vietnamese
How do I find the NLS_LANG environment variables for these.
Where I am at now+
I have to set the DEVELOPER NLS LANG. I see the NLS LANG in the registry and I guess I have to add the DEVELOPER NLS LANG.
Now I am searching for syntax. If anyone knows the syntax for those languages please let me know and how do I set more than 1 at a time.

Hello Howard,
Check out the following link here you can find your desired NLS parameters.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/htdocs/nls_lang%20faq.htm
And about the NLS_LANG for developer why you want to create for developer. Its is already there in REGISTRY. Just seaching in developer registry you can find there.
how do I set more than 1 at a time.
You can set only one NLS_LANG parameter at a time.

Custom fonts not displayed when PDF is generated using 10g Report builder

Hi
I have two fonts , abc.ttf and def.ttf which I have placed under C:\Windows\fonts. One of these displays a logo and the other displays barcode
I have added the environment variable REPORTS_PATH which has value C:\Windows\fonts. I have also added entries for PDF Subset in uifont.ali.
But still when I run the report and out to a PDF file, the fonts are not displayed. They are remapped to some other fonts.
When I check PDF document properties in Adobe reader, under fonts tab it says
abc
   Type:Type1
   Encoding:ANSI
   Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
   Actual Font Type : Type 1
def
   Type:Type1
   Encoding:ANSI
   Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
   Actual Font Type : Type 1
uifont.ali entries
[ PDF:Subset ]
# This example shows how to subset Arial True Type font into the PDF file
# Arial = "Arial.ttf"
# The True Type font files must exist in any one of the folders specified in
# REPORTS_PATH.
abc= "abc.ttf"
def="def.ttf"
In Oracle reports builder, I am able see these fonts and select them in my report layout
I am able to see the fonts in Preview/screen output while running RDFs in my reports builder, but PDF output doesnt display these fonts
Is there anything else which is required to do ? Do I need to restart the machine after environment variable is added ?

In one PC were Report Builder is installed, we see "COURIER NEW - WESTERN" font and the RDF created / saved in that font works fine on server. I don't know if this helps!

Printing XML report (with report.xsl stylesheet) shows font colors, but not table highlight colors

I am trying to print the XML report generated by TestStand to a PDF in order to archive it. When the XML report is rendered in Internet Explorer, everything looks fine -- Sequence names are highlighted in teal, Pass is in green, Fail is highlighted in red.
However, when I print this page to a PDF (using BullZip PDF printer, or even the XPS printer), all of the table highlighting is gone. The UUT Result in the header is red or green font color depending on the pass/fail state, but sequence names and any formatting applied to tables within the body of the report have no highlighting.
Is the stylesheet altering what is rendered when the XML file is printed?
This is the output when viewed in IE
This is the output when viewed as a PDF printed from the same file viewed in IE.
Thank you,
Matt
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey Matt,
This is actually because of a default setting in Internet Explorer to not print background colors on webpages. To change it, simply go to the Page Setup screen (on IE9, you click the gear icon, then Print > Page Setup) and select the option to print background images and colors. After doing this, the printed report should contain the colors you see on your screen.

How to dislay other language font in Report Builder paper layout?

How to I display other language font (e.g. chinese) in Report Builder paper layout?
I have no problem displaying Chinese characters in web layout.

If your NLS_LANG is properly set to chinese character set and if you are choosing the right chinese fonts, in Reports builder, your report paper layout should display chinese characters properly.
If you are generating to PDF, then you might want to use PDF subsetting to display the chinese characters properly.
See the documentation on how to use PDF subsetting.
