Formatting a simple output

Hi !
I'm working on a report and wrote the heading as follows:
WRITE: /5 'P Det',
        30 'Material',
        45 'Description',
        65 'Qty',
        71 'QOH',
        78 'U Qty',
        85 'C Qty',
        92 'O Qty',
        106 'T qty',
        116 'T Value',
        126 'M A Price',
        136 'P No',
        151 'D Date',
        161 'PO Qty',
        168 'Vendor Name',
        188 'Purchase Org',
        208 'Purchase Group'.
ULINE.
but unfortunately I'm not getting a horizontal bar at the bottom so that I can scroll to view all the fields on the ouput scrren. Can someone suggest me a solution please?
thanks,
Srikanth.

Hi, make sure that your line-size is set.
report zrich_0001 line-size 255

Report Format in GLDI output

I am trying to publish our reports through GLDI and keep the print setup format on this output. Is there a way to keep the print setup on the output using GLDI without having to go in and reset it on every occasion?

All white space in HTML is collapsed by default. 2 possible options to modify this behaviour are:
1. Use the HTML element<tt><pre></tt> element.
2. Use the CSS property<tt>white-space</tt> property to modify the presentation of an element through the addition of a style sheet to the page HTML Header property:
<style type="text/css">
#your-report-selector {
white-space: pre;
</style>Use whichever is most appropriate for your report, in conjunction with a monospace font.

Formatting Input and Output

Dear Forummembers
I am having some problem in formatting output in a Java code.Actually I have to worite some data into a text file about each product.
For each product there will be one line mentioning it's code, description and availaible quantity.As the code is of 6 digits I am having no problem in Aligning the code and description in each line.But as Description is not so, the availaible quantity can't be aligned columnwise.Can u pls help me.
I have one mor query too -
The program that I am writing has actually got Classes namely Product, Catalogue and Order.Product should be added to Catalogue and Order is used for accepting orders from Customers.Now I can't understand by one of the things as following -
"Much of the systems functionality requires you to manipulate a product object. Therefore, you need to be able to obtain a reference to the product that you wish to manipulate. It is advisable that you provide a method in the Catalogue class named getProduct, which accepts the product code and returns the reference to the relevant object. If the product code supplied to this method is not the code of a valid product (according to those that in the Catalogue), then you should return null"
I do understand what is mean by referece.But i am not clear about the functionality of the getProduct() method.After getting product code as the parameter, what should it return?
i would be grateful to you if you can kindly address this issue
Regards
RK

I don't really understand what you mean by the first part of your query, is this to align columns in the text file? Why are you using a text file to display the data instead of something with a more simple tabular layout?
As for the reference to the object, if the method must obtain the product from a list of products then presumably the method will be along the lines of:
public Product getById(String ID){
...//Loop through list of products until we find the ID
...//Return the Product with the specified ID (I'm presuming the ID is a variable in the Product class and not the ID in an array or list?)
}

BPS Layout formatting looks simple but tricky - Help

Hi ,
Created a layout with the below charaterstics and Month1 give the qty for that month. It works great but
1) When there is no data i.e no qty for that month , it suppose to be blank but it gives the below out put
Currenlty :
Material     mplant DType month(qty)
552477     552477
552477     552477
552477     552477
552477     552477
552477     552477
552477     552477
552477     552477
552477     552477
552477     552477
Desired :
Material     mplant DType month(qty)
2) When there is data i.e qty for that month , it suppose to give two records but it gives the below out put
     i.e values and some more lines with material but no qty . Actually there is data for only 2 rows.
Currently :
Material     mplant DType month(qty)
552477     552477 A           10
552477     552477 B           20

552477     552477
552477     552477
552477     552477
Desired :
Material     mplant DType month(qty)
552477     552477 A           10
552477     552477 B           20
I created a macro to delete the duplicate when the number repeats but that doesnot solve because when ever I want to read the total number of rows in another macro it shows wrong total number of line because of these repeating material numbers .
How can I get the desired output ? is there any simple setting in the layout or XL with out using a complicated macros etc.........
Using sem bw 320
Please help . Thank you inadvance.

Thank you all for your reply very very useful tips. This is getting some how very interesting and frustating at the same time.
Bindu : I used the similar code that you gave me that works perfect it removes the rows data that I do not need but retains the format for exmple the STYLES that I applied for the data and header data
Arya : The cube has the 2 records and my below msg will clarify that the issue is not with this
Aby : Yes even, I do not understand why the those 2 columns data with no key figure values
Jeoffrey :
- I checked 3- : Layout set to From Transaction data
- I checked 4- restrictions (variables?) may not be because ...see... my below observations........
- I checked 5- ...may not be because ...see... my below observations........ BUT I am going through they
are very interesting.
Sappie :
...may not be because even for one material ...see... my below observations........
More Facts : Sorry I would have given this in the beginning.
- I am running an adhoc package that contains an existing layout which works perfect
- When I copy layout and remove all the styles and macros still it works great
- BUT when I create a new layout with exactly same setting NO CHANGE and run the SAME adhoc   package I get those material numbers repeating .........
I have both the layouts in my PC and compared but did not see any difference , Can you please look at it if you think there could be something there ? Please send me you email I can email you.
Again thank you for looking in to it, your replies are very logical.

Fixed format data file output

Does anyone know how to generate fixed format text file? I have few fields in the select which are null and hence messes up the file format, as space does not take up same amount of character width than any alphabets.
Basically I want to generate fixed length data file which is scheduled through DBMS_JOBS. I am using UTL_FILE utility.
Every suggestion are welcome
Thanks in advance for help :)
email your response at [email protected]

hello,
using spaces as filler is sufficient. a space takes up the same room (one character) as any other letter in the alphabet.
if you look at the output in any word-processing tool or editor, that uses fonts like times, helvetica, arial, etc. those fonts are rendering the space-character smaller. in fact they are rendering each letter different. if you want to see what your output looks like, choose a font like courier.
if you just generate the file and then process it further, you should be OK. don't let you be fooled by what you see in your editor.

Amount formating in Excel output of XML Publisher Report

Hi,
I have to display my XML output in Excel format. I want the output of amount column to be displayed in form '#,###.00' and the negatives numbers are to be displayed in parenthesis. For eg number -234.5 should be displayed as (234.50).
I tried <?format-number:AMOUNT;'99G999G999G990D00PT'?> and also <?format-currency:OPEN_BALANCE;'99G999G999G990D00PT'?>.
Both of these works in PDF output, but its not working for Excel output.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

The best way i found was to put a equals and then double quotes... this only works for excel however it will allow you to cut and paste (ie to use the value to search in Oracle) and also to do vlookups.
In a bit more detail:
- I used word to generate my default table
- this created a field INVOICE_NUM
- in the cell in the table i put = " before the INVOICE_NUM field and then put the closing " afterwards.
The theory is that excel will concatenate the values together... because it has quotes around it, it will treat it as a string rather than simply a value.
For any other formats this will not work.
I'm guessing most people have moved on and resolved this some other way, but just thought I'd share the wealth!

XML Publisher - how to make column as date format in excel output

Hi,
I am having a XML publisher report , output is excel format. There are some date fields in reports, which are being displayed as "General" type in excel.
Any way to restrict it in Date type only.
Please explain the solution in detail. I am using rtf template.
Regards
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
I have the same issue. After looking at a lot of replies from various blogs, some suggest to use this format in your rtf.It did not work for me. You could try this and check if it works for you.
<?format-date:datefied;’yyyy/MM/dd’?> where the format can be specific to your use.

Changing the file format of spool output when scheduling a background job.

Hello Experts,
I have an issue. It is related to Spool output format. I created a job for one report program for which the output is a list output. I have added one recipient in the 'Spool list recipient' while creating the job SM36. After the job is finished the spool output is sent to the recipient mail id as .htm format as an attachment. But the attachment should be excel sheet or text file. No coding in the program should be used to convert the file format. Only settings in the spool while creating job should be manipulated. Please help me in solving this issue.
Regards.

Hi Sunil,
You can use the logic for converting spool to PDF using program : RSTXPDFT4 . Alternatively you can use FM: CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF . In this FM you need to pass the Spool id .
u can make use of these FM's SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
Check out the following wiki:

hope this will use full to you.
Thanks!!

How can I print to file (simple output) from the print dialog? Not PDF or PostScript

Hello
I do quite a bit of work in virtual terminal (SSH) and I tend to pull enormous amounts of data that need to be saved to a *.txt file. This needs to have ZERO formatting, as it is simply data extracted from a data base (CSV, tab delimited, etc). This information is then formatting through the use of other applications (excel, access, etc). By zero formatting i mean, no text wrap, nothing! It needs to be a text based pure database output.
I cannot use Print to PDF
I cannot use Print to PostScript
both of these include formatting, and erroneous data that would require me many hours to clean up the data by hand. On a Windows based PC you can simply install a "Print to File" printer through your printer setup menu.
I've spent many hours searching online and other seem to need this same exact type of output.
The closest thing i've been able to do is create an automator file that upon printing converts the PDF into a text file. This doesn't work as it retains the formatting per the original PDF document. This also doesn't seem to help as some outputs are 30mb in size.
If anybody could assist with this that would be awesome. Thanks!

Setting format and format options in Output module settings for render queue item

Hello,
I am unable to set the "Format" and "Format options" for video in output module settings programatically using After effects apis.
I referred the after effects cs3 sdk guide for the apis.
I find apis for all other options in the "outputmodule settings " like :
AEGP_SetEmbedOptions
AEGP_SetOutputChannels
AEGP_SetStretchInfo
AEGP_SetSoundFormatInfo
But there is no api listed for setting the options available in the "Format" tab and "Format options" tab.
The "Format" tab and "Format options" tab is available in the dialog that opens when user clicks on the Output module settings for the render queue item.
The format tab when clicked shows a drop down list with aff different formats. By default "Video for Windows" is set.
The drop down list contains following format options
Adobe Clip Notes
Adobe Flash video
Quicktime movie
Video for Windows
I need to be able to set the "Quicktime movie" option in the Format tab programmatically and then set the compression type as "Animation" in the compression settings programatically using the api functions available in AE CS3 SDK
Please suggest the suitable api to do so.
I need to write my own plugin to export to Quicktime movie using the after effects apis.
I follow below steps to do so.
1. AEGP_InsertMenuCommand and add export option to AE with my own plugin name
2. In the command hook, select active item using AEGP_GetActiveItem
3. Add it to render queue
4. Set the output module settings for 0 th output module using
suites.OutputModuleSuite1()
5. Use different functions from suites.OutputModuleSuite1() to set the output module settings like EmbedOptions,StrechInfo etc.
6. Till this step, I am doing it right. But I am not able to find any api for setting Format options using suites.OutputModuleSuite1()
I also checked all other suites available for setting FormatOptions but no luck.
Please help.
Thanks,
-Namita

Hi Namita,
I am experiencing the same problem.
I am using AE CC SDK, and I am unable to change the outputmodule format to any of the other movie format types (mov, mpg, flv, etc.).
It is always set to "avi"
I even compiled and ran the Queuebert example in the SDK, and there I get the same problem: the path extension is always left on ".avi"
Does anyone know how to change this?

Date format in Bex Output should be changed while using with Text Variable

I am using a Bex Query where have defined a Text Variable with replacement path. So whatever Date user enters in the selection screen variable (Input Variable) the same date appears in the report description.
For Ex: If user enters 30.04.2012 in Char Variable/Input Variable before executing the report, so once he executes the report the same date appears on report description like "ABC Analysis as on 20120430". Is also changes the report description whenever user changes the date in selection screen variable.
My requirement is......Date format should be come as 30.04.2012 (DD.MM.YYYY) instead of 20120430 (YYYYMMDD) in report description.
Guys could you please help me out to achieve the desired output.
Rgds,
Ritu

Please check if you have selected Replace with Key in that text variable.
Instead of that select External characteristic value key.
This should help you in giving the desired output.

Assigning a format to an output type while printing Hu label;s

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to see if there is a way to attach a format type to a output type which we are using to print HU barcoded labels...
we have about 6 different formats one for a customer... so when we ar desigining an output type we need to figure how to append this format type to the custom Output type we are developing....
I have looked at the handling units... there is a method to a assign bar code profile and formk to an output type... i dont have anything that allows me to embed a format type into an output type.... please help

Variable "elist" is a collection of record, so you access an individual field of a given collection element by specifying the field name, not its position :
DECLARE
SUBTYPE t_rec IS TEST_TABLE%ROWTYPE;
TYPE records_table IS TABLE OF t_rec;
elist RECORDS_TABLE;
CURSOR table_cursor IS SELECT * FROM TEST_TABLE WHERE rownum <= 20;
BEGIN
OPEN table_cursor;
FETCH table_cursor BULK COLLECT INTO elist;
    FOR j IN 1..elist.COUNT
    LOOP
      elist(j).value1 := elist(j).value1 + 1;
    END LOOP;
CLOSE table_cursor;
END;Your second example is different as you're dealing with a collection of collections.
