Formatting report output

Hi,
I built a report (under Applications) and am trying to change the size of the column widths. Under 'Edit' there is a tab to format the columns, but changing the pixel, % or Char size does not seem to be helping. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
THANKS!

Hi Cindy,
This is a forum intended for questions about programmatic portlet development using the Portal Developer Kit. Try posting your question in the Applications forum under Products > Portal.
Good luck,
Peter

Formatted report output to J2EE?

We have a requirement to implement a J2EE application (non-Portal) that executes BI reports and displays the formatted results in the application. Research done so far comes up with only interfaces (e.g. SOAP/XML, BI Java SDK) that handles non-formatted query results. The formatting of the data will have to be handled by the J2EE application, by using BI Java SDK classes, for example.
What is the possibilites of delivering formatted report (in WAD or pdf format) to a non-Portal J2EE application. For example, is there some interface that let me run a web template and can store the formatted results in a J2EE container?

One other way to get around this is to put the headers in the header seation of the report. It looks like the data and the headings are both in the main section of the report layout. But do this it has worked great for us.
There is a small bug in Reports 6i, and I'm not sure if they corrected it in any of the new versions. The bug is that when the headings are put in the header section there will not be any return, so your headings and the first line of data come out on the same line. I have a little trick to get around this issue. What you do is add this query to your data model:
SELECT 'chr(10)' FROM DUAL;
Then add this field after the headers that are in the header section.
I hope that helps,
Tom

Issue while downloading the alv report output in spreadsheet format .

Hi,
I have a report output, whenever I try to download it in the spreadsheet format to my desktop,
I get the following issue:
Say the correct material number is 10833340001218999 or 10030000063207001
(This appears in the report output)
But in the excel file the number is displayed as 10833340001218900 and 10030000063207000.
Please help.
Regards,
Sucharita.

Hi Sucharita,
The reason for your problem could be that in excel 2007, characters more that 15 are replaced with 0.
Or you can try downloading the data using FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' , if currently you are using stadard SAP functionality of data downloading.
Best Regards,
Vishal.

Xml report output in excel format without using options tab in EBS

How to get xml publisher report output in excel format without using options tab in EBS?

But i want to get excel output automatically.
Can anyone give idea to get XML publisher Report output in excel without selecting options tab.
Thanks in advance
Sandeep V

Hey Sandeep,
I am working on a similar format for a report and if possible can you please give me some guidelines. I have initially created reports using XML Publisher, but for those , the output preview format was PDF. So, if I select the preview format as EXCEL will it give me output in Excel and for this to happen, how do I define the rtf template. I believe the working will be same as for PDF, create a rdf report, get output in XML and apply the template to get the data in Excel or there is something different to this.
Thanks,
Sunil

Changing Oracle Report Output Format at runtime

Dear All,
I've custom Oracle Report in Oracle Apps., and would like to give the users an option to select the output format (XML, TEXT, PDF, etc.) whilst submitting the request.
As a SYSADMIN, we can modify the Output Format value of the concurrent program(Oracle Report in this case) to one we like.
But I would like the user to select this output format option at runtime, rather then hard coding at SYSADMIN level. For that I've to create a Value Set with the desired report output format options, and attach this to the concurrent program.
My question is, how we can make the desired output format to work at runtime?
If any one can help?
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Steve,
I couldn't get it...???
I'm running an Oracle Report in Oracle Apps. release 11.5.9
The default output format of this report is TEXT, which is defined in its concurrent program.
This report is submitted using standard request submission screen, and after successful completion we can view the output by pressing "View Output" button on "Requests" screen. This will open an another window and we can view the output page by page. Using "Tools>Copy File..." menu option, we can view the same output in IE window.
Now, how does your resolution fits here and how can I view the same report in XML format?
Many Thanks,
Sandeep

Formatting problem when downloading classical report output to excel sheet.

Dear Experts,
My classical report o/p looks like:
SI    Name   ID
1      xyz     11
2      abc     22
3      eet      33
4      jnc      44
When I download the same to a excel sheet from List->Save->file->Spreadsheet and save it.
The formatting looks like this:
SI   Name   ID
1     xyz               11
2     abc               22
3     eet                33
4     inc                44
That is the heading and column entries are in different columns.
There is no GUI_Download used.
Kindly help what may be the issue.

Hi,
In the report output the formatting looks fine. It is exactly below the heading. But only when I save it to excel, this alignment issue is coming. Even the columns after this column are are properly aligned and there is no issue at all. Only this column in the middle has issue.
