Multipage word report using template

Hello I am using the report generation toolkit and would like to use a template with the New Report.vi. The problem is that my report is multiple pages and I have no way of knowing how many pages until after the report has been made and so I cannot preset the number of pages in the template. So when the template is used it cuts the report down to as many pages as the template is long. Is there a way to have the full report inserted into the template having pages created as needed? Please let me know if you dont understand what I mean and I will make a second attempt for clarification.
Cheers!

Alv report using templates........urgent

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me what is meant by ALV report using template. I have worked on ALV reports. Can you throw some light on USING TEMPLATE. If anybody have some document. please send it to me.

Hi
Check whether any templates defined in your orgn for different types of objects.
For example for ALV reports so and so template and for Scripts something defined.
A template means I feel a std way of displaying data as per the orgn process/standards.
check for that.
Or use the same Std function modules and display the data and enquire further what's the template is?
Reward points if useful

Hi Srikrishna,
Thanks for your effort to reply. I think you are suggesting it for Excel report.
It seems that we can use the below shown VI to add Hyperlinks to a word report,
I initially thought it will only work for HTML reports.

WORD Error message -- Report from Template

Hello everyone,
I try to generate a "Report from Template" with transaction CG03.
I can select the generation variant and the parameter values in the next two pop-ups.
WORD is starting but then there is the error message:
"Word cannot read this document. Maybe it is corrupted. Try the following:
- open and repair the file
- open file with repair-textconverter".
This message is a translation from german to english so the correct messagt might differ from this.
When I look at my frontend PC in the local settings I see that the respective files are written, but I can´t open them.
This problem started two days ago out of nowwhere.
Additional information: Visual Basic pops up after the error message is closed with "runtime error '1055'.
A debugger is opened and this is the content of the window:
Private Sub TmpDDE()
Dim Template
WordBasic.FileOpen "C:DOKUME1chgiLOKALE1TempRehsfil0.WWI"
WordBasic.FileTemplates Template:="C:ProgrammeSAPFrontEndsapguiwwiwwi.dot"
WordBasic.Call "wwiES.S", "S", ""
End Sub
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance for your help!!!!
Best regards,
Christoph

Hello Christoph
any change happened on your client? New Windows version? New Word Version? New WWI Version installed? Did you manupulated Standad Dot path etc.? Did you change Standard.dot of Word?
Can you open in cg54/cg50 any document (ready, released or historic) without a problem and the problem is related only to "report from template"?
During WWI process a number of files are passed on to your client. Can you use Wordpad to open the files? I am not sure but I believe per WWI document there should be something like 4 or 5 documents in your local WWI path. One containing the data, one containing the template and some others (named something like resfil, lesfil etc.).
An error like you described is normally related to one of the above mentioned changes. Can you use "Report from template "regarding the same spec, same genvariant same language with a different client without a problem => then it is clear you have a local problem
With best regards
C.B.

MS Word Reports-how to use bookmarks

I am using the labview report writing tools to produce an MS Word report. I have produced several headings, information strings, tables etc. I need to use "Word Insert Object.vi" to place certain objects such as excel charts at certain places in the word report. This VI uses bookmarks in word to point at the right locations (the VI also seems incredibly limited in that it provides only a file reference as a source to obtain the object from - but no way of referring to which object in the file?? Does this mean I have to go to all the trouble to separate out my source objects to each reside in their own exclusive word doc? The documentation for "Word Insert Object" suggests you can extract objects from excel, but doesnt say how to identify the objects. Can anyone enlighten me?
The only way I can see to set up the bookmarks in the word doc to send my objects to is to setup a template doc with the bookmarks and pagebreaks in place as a starting point before I use the labview report generation vis to place everything else. The objects insert quite happily at the required bookmarks (since the vi has an input which specifies the bookmark to use), but now everything else that used to form my title page, tables, text etc are pushed to the end of the template document (i.e. after all of the bookmarks and pagebreaks structured into my template). None of the other report generation vis (insert tables, text etc) seem to have any ability to point at bookmark locations.
I can only hope for 2 possibilities here:
1) that there is a way to make the non-bookmark capable vis jump to a certain location in the document (by forcing the cursor there somehow)
2) that there is a way to programatically place bookmarks in the document as I write the various parts of it from labview, to which I can then insert objects at the end of the process.
Can anyone enlighten me about the approach to use here?
thanks
Fred

Hi Fred,
Well to answer both of the numerated questions, I can think of two ways that would most likely fix your problem.
1) Find the activeX call that can place bookmarks or move the cursor in your word document.
2) Make a macro that can do the same thing.
Has anyone in the community ever attempted this?

Malfunction in generating word report out of an app (using the report generation toolkit)

I placed in my program some features that generate a word report with some graphics and text using the report generation toolkit. When I'm in the developing system everything works. But the point is that I have to create an exe for a user and in testing this the report is not generated (and no error msg occurs). Does anyone handeled this problem already and could give me some hints? Thx.

Hi muchalla,
the report generation toolkit for MS office depends on the version of MS Office (not the OS). You must generate your application for the version of MS Office or use some dynamic technic.
The different versions of the llbs you need are on the CD in a subfolder called compability.
Here I have asked if some ideas to do this will work. Until now I haven't got the time to verify it by myself.
You will find here more information about using the report toolkit with applications.

How can I select pages to print from a Word document using the report generation 'print report' vi?

I have researched the knowledge base and found:
Printing A Range of Pages or Number of Copies of a Report Using the Report Generation Toolkit in LabVIEW.
This seems to be from a previous version of LV. I am using LV2010. The instructions given do not match up with the current vi. The information did provide a tip and drilling down into the vi I was able to insert the from/to page numbers at the printout invoke method, however this prevents the print function from working in that it can no longer find the default printer.
The error message is:
Error 1015 occurred at NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Print.vi -> NI_Word.lvclassrint Report.vi ->
error 1015 is: Printer is not responding. Check printer configuration.
Any ideas how I can make the modification to print, for example, pages 24 through 29 out of a 32 page word document?
Thanks,
Chris

Hello, take a look at this article. Unfortunately the Generate Report Get Data to Modify.vi was remove since RGT 1.1.3 release. That being said, we can try to find a workaround. See "Configuring a Printer Through the Windows Dialog in LabVIEW", open the GetPrinterSettings.vi, at the PrinterSettings property node you can select the from/to page. I hope this helps.

First group heading below displays below column headings using Template 23 Classic Report using Repeat Headings on Break

Hello,
I am migrating an application from APEX 3 to APEX 4.2 on one thing I notice with the classic reports when I bring them into Template 23 is that the first break section has the break row display below the column headers for that section while the remaining rows correctly have it display above the headers on subsequent group sections.
When I look a the code in firebug I can seen that the all tables but the first, the break row is being included as the last row of the previous table so I can see how this would not work for the break since.
I have tow questions.
1. Is this really intentional because it doesn't seem terribly elegant and my users zeroed in on it right away as a perceived bug.
2. Is there a reasonable work around that still uses Repeat Headings on Break? I have multiple reports on the same page in places so changing over to interactive reports is not a silver bullet for me in this case.
Example of issue can be seen at apex.oracle.com at Home
Thanks,
Brad

The Standard report template definition in theme 23 contains thead and tbody elements:
Before Column Heading
<thead>
Column Heading Template
<th #ALIGNMENT# id="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th>
After Column Heading
</thead>
<tbody>
After Rows
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody class="uReportPagination">
#PAGINATION#
</tbody>
</table>
<div class="uReportDownloadLinks">#EXTERNAL_LINK##CSV_LINK#</div>
This is intentional, following best practice for marking up HTML tables. What is not intended is the problem that arises when this template is used with the Repeat Headings on Break break formatting option. The repeated headings result in the table consisting of tag soup containing multiple incorrectly constructed tbody and thead elements, which is invalid.
2. Is there a reasonable work around that still uses Repeat Headings on Break? I have multiple reports on the same page in places so changing over to interactive reports is not a silver bullet for me in this case.
Create a copy of the Standard report template as Standard (break formatting) for use with break reports, remove the thead and tbody tags from the template definitions, and change the break reports to use the new template. (Or, if you primarily have break reports using the Standard template, keep the tags in the copy and remove them from the original to minimize the number of reports you have to edit.)
Personally I'd create a custom row report template for complex break reports in order to be able to have complete control over the structure and presentation.

How to use Templates in Interactive Report?

Hi,
I have migrated a report into interactive report, but the template used in earlier report are not applying into new report? Could you pls tell me how can i do that?
Thanks,
-Amit

Hi Amit
Interactive reports work differently than classic reports - the formatting is controlled by the AJAX controls - not by fixed templates.
While interactive reports have brought some wonderful new possibilities, there may well be times when you'll want to retain the more rigid, formatted look of a classic report.
You should choose what the purpose of the report is, and what facilities you want to offer your user - this will guide you to choose an interactive or classic report.
Both have their place in applications.
In summary, the short answer to your question - there is no direct equivalent of the report formatting template in interactive reports.
Hope this helps.

Error when trying to email report using Analyzer for Excel template

I have a report for which I have created both "RTF" and "Analyzer for Excel" based templates. I can email the report using the RTF template, but when I try to email it using the A4E template (using the 'Send' button from the report screen), it never arrives. If I schedule the report to be emailed, it fails, and I get the following error information:

Ideas?

HI,
Is this qury is running fine in SQL?? Have you checked this query in Sql server(Management studio) whether working or not??.
I feel there is some mismatch with relations in query.. Cross check your query once in SQL itself. once it is running well, we will take a look.
