Formatting for columns in group above report(non grp col)

Hi
I have a report that is group above. So for every record that appears in the group above, below is the corresponding fields. What I am trying to do is apply formatting like font, hide/show etc to the rows below. How can I do that.
record1...............................<group above>...
<corresponding columns-latest>
<corresponding columns-old>
record2...............................<group above>...
<corresponding columns-latest>
<corresponding columns-old>I want to be able to compare latest and old for a particular record and hide/show depending on if the value has changed. I only have one query for this report that is group above. Is it possible?

Like you did select * from ....(select....)... In reports I wasnt able to create a col to col link for such cases. I need to have the db columns directly in select.
Secondly, for a workaroudn i even changed that - next challenge was treating xmltype columns using xmlsequence as db columns. So if I have xmlsequence in my query, i cant create col to col link. I have 4 queries with unions. 2 have xmlsequence and 2 doesnt. When i create col to col link for cases with xlseq, it forces me to create a grp link... When i have queries without xmlseq, i can create the col to col link.

Oracle rdf report format

I want a help form you . If you can, please share.
In a oracle .rdf report, suppose data are arranged in this format, like this
RED     5
RED     6
RED     10
GREEN     15
GREEN     2
BLUE     10
BLUE     5
but now, I want the report like this format:-
RED     5
''     6
''     10
GREEN     15
"     2
BLUE     10
"     5
How can i do this ? I am waiting for your early reply.

In Data Model, find the group that contains your data.
In that group:
1. create a formula column named for example ”CF_set_value_color”
2. create a placeholder column named for example ”CP_show_value_color” of VARCHAR2
Outside the group; create a stand alone placeholder named ”CP_last_value_color” of VARCHAR2
Now, create a PL/SQL procedure for your formula column ”CF_set_value_color:
”color” should be replaced with the name of the column that returns RED, GREEN or BLUE..
function CF_set_value_colorFormula return Number is
begin
-- First row
if :cp_last_value_color is null then
-- Set values for placeholders
:cp_last_value_color := :color;
:cp_show_value_color := :color;
else
-- Second row and beyond
if :cp_last_value_color = :color then
-- If last color is the same as the current, show "
:cp_show_value_color := '"';
else
-- If last color is NOT the same as this one, show new color
:cp_last_value_color := :color; -- Set for comparison of next row
:cp_show_value_color := :color;
end if;
end if;
return 1;
end;
For each row the query retrieves, the value of “CP_show_value_color” will be RED, ”, ”, GREEN, ”, BLUE, ”
Use that column for output instead of ”color” and it should work just fine.

Hi,
Are you talking about the fields coming from the Data Source Explorer?.
If "Yes" then there is no such limits.
Are you able to run the report through the eclipse designer?
Thanks,

Lines Between Report Columns in Purchase Order Report

Hello All,
I am working with the Oracle Purchasing Report called POXPRPOP.rdf. I am trying to add a black frame between each column in the report. Imagine in a purchase order where several columns of data that have a black line in between them. I have tried working with the expanding frame around the data fields of the report, changing the line color of these expanding frames to black. This didn’t work to give me lines in between the columns. I have been able to bring other graphical elements into the report so it is not a graphics problem at the UNIX environment.
I am using Reports 6i and Running the report through Oracle Applications Concurrent manager.
Thanks for any help,
Bradley

It seems like I might be able to put a line between the data fields and set it to expand with the repeating frame. Maybe this is this how it is done.

Reports Requirements using R12 and Oracle 10g Reports

Hi All,
Looking forward to some valuable inputs to propose a technical solution in R12 using 10g Reports Developer.
Requirements are :
1. Report output should be in Excel Format. ( Is this possible without XML Publisher using 10g Reports only )
2. Report Parameters to have multi selection criteria. ( Is this possible in 10g Reports and Oracle Apps, Report Manager responsibility ?)
Regards,
Anand

>
1. Report output should be in Excel Format. ( Is this possible without XML Publisher using 10g Reports only )
>
Yes, Reports can create output in Excel - but XML Publisher offers better and easier options.
>
2. Report Parameters to have multi selection criteria. ...

Pl explain what you mean by multi selection criteria.

Oracle Matrix Report output to XML Publisher

We have an Oracle matrix report (rdf) registered in our applications and we are trying to format the report output using XML publisher.
I have taken XML output of the report by changing the Report output to XML in concurrent program definition. Using this XML output we have started designing the RTF template using Template Builder for Word 5.6.2.
I am not able to get the MAtrix output in XML publisher. I am not sure how to design a Matrix Report using Template builder for word. I am not sure whether the XML output of Original Report has Tags mentioning Matrix report attributes or Not.
Can anyone help me by explaining how to design a Matrix Report template using XML report output. Appreicate your help.

I have posted a Blog on our blog site about how to create a matrix report in XML-Publisher
http://technology.amis.nl/blog/?p=1558
Perhaps this helps.

Use css file in oracle 10g report builder

hi every one
i am using oracle 10g report buidler. i want control paramform by usign css file.
any body have idea how can i use css file in oracle report builder 10g and how can i modify it's path and i how can i manage any css class on a perticular field.

Thanks Billy.
Yes you are right.
Here why I discarded that option is,
I may get the source files with changing layouts.
My Actual scenario is as follows.
Initially we developped all the things using PL/SQL packages. Its working fine.
But as per the inputs we received from requirements group, the file structure changes dynamically. and we would able to consider those new columns also. We should be able to changes the rules dynamically.
Lets say, we doing fullouter join on Src_A and Src_B. on columns col1_A and col1_B.
Now the requirement changes in a way that, the join should be done on Src_A and Src_C. on columns col1_A and col_C.
For this I need to define a new package.
Instead of that, I would like to do everything dynamically based on configuration parameters given as input.
Thank you,

if input selection is Normal and RDO then only 2 columns w'd be created and the other 2 fixed columns.
Can anybody help me how do I design such report....
Thanks

Hi Developer life,
According to your description that you want to dynamically increase and decrease the numbers of the columns in the table, right?
As Jason A Long mentioned that we can use the matrix to do this and put the year field in the column group, amount fields(Numric values) in the details, add an filter to filter the data base on this column group, but if
the data in the DB not suitable to add to the matrix directly, you can use the unpivot function to turn the column name of year to a single row and then you can add it in the column group.
If there are too many columns in the column group, it will fit the page size automatically and display the extra columns in the next page.

If your still have any problem, please try to provide us more details information, such as the data structure in the DB and the table structure you are currently designing.
Any question, please feel free to let me know.

How to embed/show an image file (.jpeg or .jpg or .png) into a Oracle 10g report file (.rdf)

Hi All,
Morning , have an urgent requirement and need some guidance regards this.
we are currently having an existing Oracle 10g reports file (.rdf) lets say with name : Testing1.rdf .
The report output is getting generated in a pdf format . it opens up in a pdf format..
Now we want to embed an image file lets say : (logo.jpeg or logo.gif ) into the report output..at run time the image from the image file should show up in the report output.
Could someone please help as to how this could be achieved..and what approach we could follow for this...
with regards
Thanks as always !!

Hi All,
Morning ...just a follow up question to this original post : embedding the image files at runtime into an Oracle Report..
We were able to achieve this by entering the folder location where the image files are place on the server in the REPORTS_PATH env variable in the report.sh file.
Then we update this filename like file1.jpg into a table and from there we fetch this in the Oracle Reports data model directly.
for The layout field we select the option as Image.
All this works fine..
Issue : The resolution of the embedded image in the generated report output is very low ...means the image appears there but it is not very clearly visible ..is there any way we could improve the IMAGE RESOLUTION in the report output....?????
With regards

in this case the total is not formatted.
I also refered developer guide. There i found how to set value to total column.. but how to get the value its not given..
Any body pls help in this regards
Thanks & Regards

ORA-01401 error on char column with oracle oci driver

Hello,
We found a potential bug in the kodo.jdbc.sql.OracleDictionary class
shipped as source with Kodo:
In newer Kodo versions (at least in 3.3.4), the method
public void setString (PreparedStatement stmnt, int idx, String
val, Column col)
has the following code block:
// call setFixedCHAR for fixed width character columns to get padding
// semantics
if (col != null && col.getType () == Types.CHAR
&& val != null && val.length () != col.getSize ())
((OraclePreparedStatement) inner).setFixedCHAR (idx, val);
This block seems to be intended for select statements but is called on
inserts/updates also. The latter causes a known problem with the Oracle
oci driver when settings CHAR columns as FixedCHAR, which reports an
ORA-01401 error (inserted value too large for column) when definitely no
column is too long. This does not happen with the thin driver.
We reproduced this with 8.1.7 and 9.2.0 drivers.
For us we solved the problem by subclassing OracleDictionary and removing
the new code block.

I read at
re:'ORA-01401 inserted value too large for column' - 9i that:
"This is fixed in Oracle9i Release 2"
Can you try that version of the driver? Also, does it fail in the Oracle
10 OCI driver?

Regarding T Bar in Oracle 10g Reports

Hi,
     We have the requirement to generate line graph report to meet the following requirement.
     The graph must be draw 4 horizontal lines.
     In these 4 lines, two lines displayed in the top and two lines in the bottom.
The bottom two horizontal lines should be drawn along with vertical lines(T bars ) for      every x values.
     This graph is actually a combination graph which have both horizontal lines and T Bars.
     We have been recommended to use Oracle 10G Report builder to build this kind of report.
     We tried all the option available in the reporting tool, we could not able to represent T bars.
     Is it possible to generate report with T bars using Oracle 10G
reporting tool.
Thanks & Regards,
