Need to avoid printing of blank lines at end of report

Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
after printing, any report is sending some blank lines, moving paper up. It pushes printing of next page to some lines below, causing other reports to begin printing much under the correct position, and it's propagating to other reports I print later.
How can I print a report and avoid printing those blank lines below?
Printer that's being used is an Epson LQ-570+.
Thanks, and best regards,
Franklin Gongalves Jr.

Hi Franklin,
What version of Reports are you running? Also, is this a character mode report?

Blank line in xml publisher report -

Hi Friends,
There is one issue in xml publisher report. Its an rdf based xml report
In header section it used to display customer address details. like below
address1
address2
address3
city state province postal_code
country
If address2 is NULL, it prints a blank line in between the total address. Need to avoid blank line and print address3 in address2 position.
How can i remove the blank line? Finally there shouldn't be any blank spaces or lines.
Any idea? Plz post here.
Thanks & Regards,
Arun Peddi

Use a conditional region around the Address2. Your if statements could look something like this.
<?if:FIELDNAME!=''?><?FIELDNAME?><?end if?>Have the if statement start at the end of ADDRESS1 and endif at the begining of ADDRESS3.

Blank Lines at end of file when using Variable Substitution in File Adapter

Hi all,
I'm using variable substitution in a File Adapter, it's refers an element of message, like:
filename payload:MESSAGE_INTERFACE,1,FILENAME,1
The variable substitution is working right, but it's append a BLANK LINE at end of file.
Anyone knows how to solve this problem ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Regis,
I suppose you're using content conversion?
if so try adding
<b>endSeparator</b> = '0'
to your last element
this will delete the default line break at the end

Every page I print has blank lines where nothing was printed and should have.

I have an HP officejet Pro 8500 all in one printer, with MS windows Vista (HA) OS. I have recently experienced some problems and had to re-Install the software from a on line download from HP. Everything is working oK, but every page I print has blank spaces or lines missing from the page.

How to Avoid Printing the data twice when the sub report has drill down?

Hello,
I have a sub report that has drill down which is placed in report footer.When i run the report sub report displays the data but when i tried to drill down it displays the same data again.After that i can able to drill down on sub report.Is there any way to avoid
printing the same data twice.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If the subreport you're referring to does not grow in size and it does not span multiple pages and you know the size of it, here's what you can do to stop drilling into subreports :
1) Create a text object as large as the subreport (perhaps bigger than it) and fill it with spaces or new lines
2) Place it 'over' the subreport such that it covers the entire area occupied by the subreport
3) The subreport at all times should be smaller than the text object in all dimensions
Now, when you hover the mouse over the subreport, there isn't any magnifying glass for you to drill down into.
If the subreport has further drill-down functionality, then this isn't for you! Because, it just wouldn't allow you click on any objects in the subreport because of the text object eclipsing it. This is the only workaround I know at this point in time and I know a lot of users are looking for this.
I would suggest that you log this as an Enhancement Request at http://ideas.sap.com for our developers to have a look into this.
And finally, I also found an old forum post where Jamie has suggested a way to get this working on the Business Objects Environment. Give it a shot, if that's where the reports are eventually run.

File receiver : blank line at end of file

Dear friends,
we are using file receiver with file content conversion , tp : FTP
The file has a flat structure & fixed length (no delimiters) :
reordset parameters used- fieldFixedLengths
each record is in a different line, but at the end of the records a blank line is inserted.
(no endSeparator is used.)
Can you pls advise hot to get rid of this extra blank line

Hi Datta,
I am not sure but you can try with follwing parameters...
NameA.fixedLengthTooShortHandling Specify how you want the system to respond when column widths in the actual document exceed those defined in NameA.fieldFixedLengths. The following values are permitted:
·        Error
Error means that processing of the document is terminated.
·        Cut
Cut means that a value is shortened to the maximum permitted length.
·        Ignore
Ignore means that the system applies the value completely, regardless of it being too long. Subsequent columns are moved correspondingly.
U can use ignore in your case.
For more info. plz check

Need to place a variable value at the end of report heading in BI 7

Dear All,
We have to place a variable value at the end of the report heading and the value should get refreshed whenever we change the variable by using "Change Variable Value". I have created a macro and the value will get triggered unless and until we click on any where on a sheet. But, we want to automate this one by using a macro.
Ex: Quarterly TA Host Country Details As Of "Variable Date" Variable is created on TA Date characteristic. User can enter date on Pop up window box at the time of changing a variable TA Date. We need changed date at the end of the Report heading Qua----
Please suggest me on how to place variable value at the end of report heading by using a macro.

No need to use Macro. You can use text variable.
Goto the Query Description and click on the Text variable icon.
Create a text variable of processing type as REPLACEMENT PATH and replace it with the characteristic for which you have a ready for input variable that will be eneter by the user.
This will populate the text variable with the value entered by teh user.
Use this text variabkle along with the Query Description. So your description will look something like REPORT_TITLE&TXT_VAR&
Hope this helps.

Mx 340 prints with "blank lines" across the words in just about the exact spot on each page.

I have tried all the cleaning options several times. Updated drivers etc and it still does it. very strange. This stared recently
Thanks.

How to introduce blank line separator in Interactive Report

Hi,
I've an Interactive Report that shows date-ordered records (game fixtures for our local Ice Hockey team).
I'm using highlights and filters to make the output more "meaningful".
Any advice on how to introduce a horizontal blank-record "gap" in the data to separate the rows of output please?
I know I can use the "Break" feature, but its not that pretty in this circumstance - it looks like overkill.
All I want to do is to deliniate the fixtures that occur in separate weeks.
The current list of fixtures is viewable via: [http://fixtures.naihc.co.uk/apex/f?p=1:2|http://fixtures.naihc.co.uk/apex/f?p=1:2]
I've created a hidden column that calculates the Week of the Year: a simple to_char(faceOff, 'IW') wrapped inside
a "to_number" for sorting purposes.
If you look at the output, its not that blindingly obvious which fixtures happen on which week - a simple horizontal
line gap when the week changes would look nice.
Some sort of SQLplus "break on weekOfYear skip 2" or so.
Thankyou in advance.

I've created a hidden column that calculates the Week of the Year: a simple to_char(faceOff, 'IW') wrapped inside a "to_number" for sorting purposes.Won't that give you a problem when viewing a period of a season that spans 2 calendar years? The weeks from the later year appear before those in the first year:
select   d, to_number(to_char(d, 'iw')) week_of_year
from     t
order by season, week_of_year, d

Blank page at end of report

Hi,
I'm getting a blank page at the end of a report.
The problem is something like this.
I have 2 queries,main query Q1 and child query Q2. Q1 returns the dept information and Q2 the employees of that department.
I do not want to display the dept info if there are no employees in that dept.
I have created a format trigger for the main repeating frame to take care of this.
But the problem now is I'm getting a blank page at the end of the report.
Any help appreciated.
TIA

* In previewer , the parameter blankpages=NO has no effect , because this parameter is mainly intended as a paper saving mechanism . This is the expected behaviour .
( I assume you are using 9i here )
* For pdf output blankpages=NO should suppress blankpages , but this is bug 2613988 for 9i . This bug has been fixed and you can expect the fix in the next patch set . If you cannot wait till then , please get in touch with Oracle Support and request for a one-off .
* If you are using 6i , this bug has been fixed and applying latest patch set should solve the issue .
Thanks

Printing blank lines using plsql

Hi,
I am trying to print a blank line using plsql can anyone help me on this
eg
Employee Report
(a blank line here)
I am not able to print a blank line where I have written (a blank line).
Chiranjib

dbms_output is trimming blanks, therefore you need to use some other non-visible character, e.g.
SQL> begin
2 dbms_output.put_line('Employee Report');
3 dbms_output.put_line('***************************');
4 dbms_output.put_line(chr(255));
5 dbms_output.put_line('*****************************');
6 end;

Small square boxes appearing on blank lines (UPDATED) - The question is, how to get rid of them?

******* As to my display name "All I tried were in use" - when I registered at the Adobe site to use the Browser Lab, I tried something like 10 or 12 user names and finally gave up and went with "All I tried were in use" - my name is Bob
------------------------------- UPDATE --------------------
The problem, small square boxes showing on lines in Freetext Tool comments, is not limited to blank lines, as I originally reported here. These boxes are showing up at the end of every line. It does not matter if the line break is hard or soft, whether the line is empty or not.
Please read the original post bearing mind that the problem is occurring at the end of all lines.
Also - here is a screen capture of a part of one comment box, showing the square lines. I didn't show the entire box because the material above the area I'm showing is a tad private or confidential. Here is the image showing the boxes - note that there is no box at the end of the last line in the comment.
-------- Original Post ------------
We have a copy of Acrobat 5.0. and up until now it has done what we need, which is not much more than adding bookmarks, links, and some touch up. I know it is very old and I know things change. I'm hoping this has nothing to do with the release we are using. I would think this would be a backward compatibility issue if it is a problem with newer Reader versions dealing with PDFs "edited" with 5.0.
I am having small square boxes showing up on blank lines. (read my update above - the boxes are at the end of all lines, soft break or hard break))
I'm a programmer (37+ years in most all aspects of Data Processing) and I decided to learn the PHP programming "language" to add some server side processing to some of my web sites. So, I found a fairly good manual on PHP in PDF form and have been using it.
I quickly found that the PDF didn't have a single link in it and no bookmarks, so I've been adding them as I look up a particular subject. I'm also adding comments and notes to document things not in the original manual or to add comments that would help other programmers` (who know other languages) to adjust to PHPs' way of thinking - for example: in all the other languages I know (perhaps two dozen) to get rid of a file, you "delete" it. In PHP you "unlink" it.
I've added a lot of comments and notes like that and when I view the PDF in Reader (on this computer I have 9.4.2) I'm seeing small square boxes on empty lines. The lines were created when I pressed Enter twice to insert a blank line between paragraphs. (again, read the update at the top of this message - the boxes are at the end of all lines, soft break or hard break)
How can I get rid of them?
They are not present when I've got the PDF open with Acrobat, only when I'm using an Acrobat Reader.
They are also not present if I look at the comments using the Comments navigation panel - that is, they still show on the page, but they don't show in the copy of the comment displayed in the navigation panel.
They are not present in Notes or when I use one of the shape tools (Square Tool, Circle Tool, or Line Tool) to create notes. They are only present in Freetext Tool comments
They are clearly being show where there are successive line feed/carriage return characters - but how do I get rid of them?
I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING - I realized that I'd not printed any of the pages on which I have placed comments and wondered if the boxes show when printing the PDF with Reader -- they do. They are not present if I use Acrobat, not a Reader, to print the same page.
Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Please don't tell me to get a newer version - an expenditure like that is simply and totally out of the picture. For us, this is a Depression, not a Recession - we are self-employed and our businesses have been severely hammered since 2006 - we are down to about 1/4 of our income before the big guys trashed the economy.
Bob
P.S. Do you know that you can have a heart attack without chest pain, shortness of breath, or left arm pain? Well, you can! I've had two and the first one nearly killed me because I had no clue it was a heart attack. You can read about it first one here. Pass this on, it could save a life.
My second heart attack occurred on October 4, 20112 - it began, around 3:15 AM, as the first one did, with a headache. It turned out the stent implanted in 2002 had been completely clogged by too much tissue grown. The doctor put another stent inside the first one.

Problem Resolved - it is a font issue. Apparently Acrobat can't handle particular fonts and it is best to stick with a very small slection of fonts - Arial, Helvetica, Times Roman.
I haven't test a lot of fonts. If I do, I'll post there results here.

Smartform, blank line inbetween TWO include texts

Dear Gurus,
IN SMARTFORMS ,
I have to include a blank line inbetween two consecutive include texts.
Please help me.
Regards,
Roshan Lilaram.

Dear Matt this will not help my issue, i need a blank include text ONLY.
See for Eg, i have four include texts, inbetween each of these i put a text element as you said, then even if i am not printing anything in my second include text,this text element will be printed with a blank line,
Now as per this condition, there are two blank lines inbetween my first and third include text.
This is not right logically, In any case i need one and only one Blank line,
I hope i have made my issue more clear.
Please help me in getting a Blank Include Text.
