How to modify the width of a column?

Hi,
I would like to specify different values in the width for the columns in a custom report, because from Microsoft Excel I would like to print all information in an only page.
I have tried to modify the values from "Additional formatting options" specifying different values, but when I donwload the report in Excel format, the columns doesn't modify (they have the same with as default).
How can I do it?
Thanks and regards.

Thanks and Best regards

Hi Deyang,
You have to create your own layout:
- Navigate to System Administration->Support
- Choose Portal Runtime -> Browse Deployment
- Navigate under pcd or under temp, and download the layouts par (com.sap.portal.layouts.default.par.bak if I recall correctly)
- Import that par as a project to Developer Studio
- Make your changes (create a new jsp acording to the existing examples, and update the portalapp.xml accordingly)
- Export to par (in a different name!) and deploy
- In the portal content: new from par -> Layout (don't forget to mark it as a template).
- Your new layout template will now be available when you create new pages.
good luck!

How to change the width of a column in the web templete

hai
can anyone pl help me to solve the issue
here is the issue
" how to change the width of the column in web templete?" is there any chance to change
thanx in advance

First use the Active Cell property and set the row value to -2 to change an entire column. The attached image shows how to set the background color of column 3 to green. I don't understand your comment about column size. It doesn't matter how wide or narrow a column is. Using the Cell Background Color property, the entire cell is colored. If you are having difficulty keeping track of the number of columns, thats a different issue.

Modifying the width of the DESNAME system parameter in Reports 6i

This is probably so simple so I apologise for posting it here but I've been asked to look at an error with an Oracle Report (Reports 6i) (I've never really used Reports).
When attempting to run the report, we get the following error :
REP-0091: Invalid value for parameter 'DESNAME'.
I think this is because the runtime value supplied for the DESNAME parameter exceeds the width property defined in the report. However, I cannot seem to modify the width property in Report builder.
Can someone tell me how to modify the width property for the DESNAME system paramter ??

Hi!
I don't think it is possible to increase its width. It's a system parameter which can have several pre-defined or user-defined values. Check the documentation or help regarding this.
Also, I think you can check several things.
1. Check "Report Triggers" if any. DESNAME can be modified there. Menu item "Program" --> "Find and replace in PL/SQL..." can help to search the code.
2. But more likely, incorrect value of DESNAME is passed into report from a calling module or batch script, or whatever. It can be a RUN_PRODUCT call in forms, or RWRUN60 in script. Check DESNAME there.
3. Try to debug. Use srw.message to display DESNAME value at report startup, for instance in "before parameter form" trigger.

How can we modify the maximum no. of columns in pivot table ?

hi all,
How can we modify the maximum no. of columns in pivot table ?
do i need to change the nqconfig.ini or instanceconfig file or else?
thnx..

A little search on the forum :
In the instanceconfig.xml add a <PivotView> element under <ServerInstance> if one does
not exist already.
Within the <PivotView> element add an entry that looks like:
<MaxCells>nnnnnn</MaxCells>
where nnnnnn is your desired limit for the maximum total number of cells allowed
in a pivot.
Warning: an excessively large number will cause more memory consumption and
slower browser performance.The details here :

How to change the width of a field?

Hi all,
I would like to decrease the width of a field on my report.
But I can't do it in the Property palette. I am not able to change the width property. The width of the database column is varchar2(255). I do not want to decrease the length of the database column, but only the width property of the field.
Any ideas?
Regards

As far as I knows, you can only increase the width of a
character column. If you wish to decrease it, I would think
you'd have to drop/delete the whole column and recreate it,
loosing all your data in the process (unless you create a
temporary table into which you copy the data first, and then
copy it back into the "new" column - the oracle db will truncate
the data automatically).
SQL Plus is very well suited for the task, but requires you to
write the appropriate SQL statements yourself. Other tools may
simplify this for you (I use SQL Plus myself).
Hope this helps.

Adjust the width of a column in a report.

Hi,
How can we adjust the width of a column in a report.
We have a report with around 10 columns.
out of the 10 columns 1 column has a width of 500 char..
we want to display only the first 150 chars of that column with 50 char on first line,next 50 on second line and last 50 on third line.
i have tried using the the substr and <br> in the region source but it takes 3 lines by default even if it is not of 150 chars .I want to display it in 3 columns if it of 100+ chars.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Using the col tag is the more proper way of fixing the width of a column.
If you don't want to use the col tag, you should change your expression to:
<table style="width:500px">
Firstly, you should use the unit of length (ie, "px") for any non-zero value and secondly because we are being encouraged to use the style attribute whenever possible as, as I understand it, this will become the standard.

1.Go to your SharePoint site -> your list.

3.Towards right you will see option as Form Web Parts, click on it, the three forms will be listed there [New Form, Display Form, Edit Form].
4.Select the one on which you want to increase the width/height.
5.It will open in edit mode, click on Add a Web Part.
6. Click on Forms [Categories] => HTML Form Web Part.
7.After adding the HTML Form Web Part, click on Edit WebPart.
8.Click on Source Editor, Remove all code from it and put an empty HTML table with width and height as per your requirement ex. to increase width
<TABLE WIDTH="800px">
<TR><TD></TD></TR>
</TABLE>
9.Save the form and check out your respective modal by clicking on the same in your list view.
