How to save report output in a PDF file and also show preview in one processing cycle

Hi every body,
We R re-developing an application from COBOL to Oracle.
Using Reports 6i 6.0.8.11.3.
The requirement is that whenever a user processes a report, it should be saved on disk say in PDF format. Then it should be shown in Reports Runtime Previewer.
So far I have explored that only one of theses can be done in one processing cycle.
That is if we set DESTYPE to FILe it will only be saved to disk. If we set DESTYPE to Preview, the report can be previewed and optionally printed but not saved.
I want that both saving to disk and preview should be possible.
I have explored .DST file option but there is only provision for FILE, PRINTER and MAIL.
Printing facility should be optional, otherwise we would have used FILE and PRINTER destinations in .DST file.
Once that file is saved on disk, it can later on be printer if user requires more copies.
I would prefer a solution other than User_exit as I don't have training in developing user_exits.
Any help please.
Tariq

I had a similar requirement and decided to run the report from forms. When a button is pressed, the report is run to create the pdf file, followed by separate command to invoke acrobat reader or internet explorer to display the file, rather than using reports previewer.
The file can be displayed from forms by a host command in client server, or by web.show_document on the web.

How to save a bitmap to a pdf file format?

Hello,
We have a scanning application that can write out BMP files or TIFF files. My boss would like to have the files in PDF format. Is there a way to do this? I can write code if given the specs. Call an external routine if there is one available for free or low cost. I initially get the info from a handle to a DIB, convert it to a Bitmap object, then save it to a TIFF. I am using VB.NET and am looking for a solution that isn't too costly in cash or time since the benefit is small, but I do not know if there is one. Even if someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Open in a graphics package and print to the Adobe PDF printer. TIFF files can be opened directly in Acrobat and converted (you would then use Save As to get the PDF). BMP files are not in the list of files converted by Acrobat, but you could still try -- might get an error message, but maybe it will work also.

How to generate report output directly to a file

Here's the issue...
We have several instances of queries that will run for a long time ( because they process a lot of data)...which are then intended to be exported to .csv files
So far, we run these as reports...they'll run...and they export the data to csv files...which seems to result in the query rerunning all over again going to a csv file this time...
Any recommendations/suggestions to directly go to a flat file instead of screen first...file second
Thanks

Your query is executing again b/c you haven't fetched all the rows to the grid(s). If you want to prevent the pain of the 2nd query execution for the export, then scroll to the bottom of the data grid before you do the Export. This will consume more memory, but it will save you the effort of running the query again.
You could also try using SPOOL and the /*csv*/ sql developer hint.
SPOOL c:/your_file.csv
select /*csv*/ * from ...
Execute via F5
The main limitation here will be the number of lines returned by your query as we default the max rows to print in a script to 5,000. That's a preference you can change though.

How to save the time to a .txt file and retrive it back as time?

I have to save the time [hour:minute:second] and the date [date:month:year] to a .txt file. I am using the Calendar API to set the time and date as below
FileOutputStream fileStream = new FileOutputStream ("what.txt");
PrintWriter pw=new PrintWriter(fileStream, true);
Calendar curDate = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.print(curDate.get(Calendar.DATE)+":");
System.out.print(months[curDate.get(Calendar.MONTH)]+":");
System.out.print(curDate.get(Calendar.YEAR));
pw.println(curDate);
I'll have to retrive these data back to use it to set timer
timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new RemindTask(), time);
I try to retrive the data and use the Calendar API to that data by using the below program.
I get the error as :
C:\t\Retrivedate.java:41: int cannot be dereferenced
System.out.print(t.get(Calendar.DATE)+":");
How can I solve this so that I can use Calendar API on my retrived data?
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
class Test {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
File inputFile = new File("what.txt");
FileReader in = new FileReader("what.txt");
int t;
char[] tmp = new char[100];
int cnt = in.read(tmp);
String tm="";
for (int j=0;j<cnt;j++)
{ tm+=tmp[j];
try {
t=Integer.parseInt(tm,10);
catch (NumberFormatException exception) {}
System.out.println("jika "+tm);
Calendar curDate = Calendar.getInstance();
String months[]={
"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr",
"May","June","July","Aug",
"Sept","Oct","Nov","Dec"};
Date time1 = curDate.getTime();
System.out.print(" \n"+time1.getHours());
System.out.print(":"+time1.getMinutes());
System.out.println(":"+time1.getSeconds());
System.out.print(t.get(Calendar.DATE)+":");
System.out.print(months[t.get(Calendar.MONTH)]+":");
System.out.print(t.get(Calendar.YEAR));
in.close(); }
catch (IOException ex) {
System.out.println("IOException:"+ex.toString()); }

These lines do not make sense:
System.out.print(t.get(Calendar.DATE)+":");
System.out.print(months[t.get(Calendar.MONTH)]+":");
System.out.print(t.get(Calendar.YEAR));
1. t is an integer, it does not have any methods.
2. It's a bad idea to use char[] to retrive the date. You should use readLine() method to retrieve the whole date string, say "10/23/2001" (certainly you can have hours, minutes, seconds, etc.). Then you need to use SimpleDateFormat class to parse this string. SimpleDateFormat gives you everything to parse a date string in any format you want.

How to save a 4D Array in a File and load it later on?

Hello,
I am trying to save a 4D Array (Array[4000] [3] [20] [5]) of UINT in a File. I can do it through "write in binary File". But then I can´t load it. I know I can transform my Array down to 1D Array of 1.200.000 Elements (4000*3*20*5) of UINT. When I load it, I have to transform it back (with a lot of "for-looping") back to 4D. But is there an easier way of doing that?
I was not able to find a solution in this forum - I am sorry if I made a new thread if there is already a solution in this forum.
Best regards
LabVIEW 2011
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As Lynn said, there should be no extra code required.
When writing, make sure that "prepend size" is true (true is default) and when reading, wire an empty 4D array of the correct representation to the "data type" input.
(I also assume that your LabVIEW version is not extremely ancient)

Hi,
Go through the program RSTXPDFT4 (Converting SAPscript (OTF) or ABAP List Spool Job to PDF), you will get some idea. Using this program you can convert spool into PDF file.
