Non Repeating output format

So, I'm contributing to a small POC application that is going to track tasks. The statement I am working on is a report, to which I will add a date range option when I get the formatting correct.
I want to see the item (Task), Person Responsible and project name. In addition to that, I am connecting the tasks with each time. There may be many tasks for one item. I would like to show all of the tasks at the right, but not repeat the rest of the details (eliminating redundancy for the viewer).
This is what I have so far. Did I mention I CANNOT Proceduralize it? I don't think so anyway. We are using it in Oracle APEX. I am a noob at APEX.
Thanks for any input ahead of time.
SELECT Prj_applications.Appl_name, Prj_staff.Staff_name,
Prj_items.Description, Prj_items.Date_added, Prj_items.Due_date,
Prj_items.Complete_date, Prj_comments.Detail
FROM Prj_items, Prj_applications, Prj_staff, Prj_comments
WHERE (
(Prj_applications.Appl_id = Prj_items.Appl_appl_id)
AND (Prj_staff.Staf_id = Prj_items.Staf_staf_id)
AND (Prj_items.Item_id = Prj_comments.Item_item_id(+) )
By popular request I am adding to this question so I stand a better chance of getting an answer.
The desired output I am looking for would be this:
1 Project Name Staff_member Description Date_assigned Date_added Due_date Complete_date Task_note_1 date
Task_note_2 date
Task_note_3 date
2 Project Name Staff_member Description Date_assigned Date_added Due_date Complete_date Task_note_1 date
Task_note_2 date
Task_note_3 date
etc...

Your best bet is to use the Apex forum for this question.
You can do quite a bit in apex and whereas you may get a pure sql solution here it may not be appropriate to solving your problem in apex.That's a good point!
Display is best handled by the front-end.
If you (meaning OP, or the reader in general, not Keith) do have to use a back-end solution, you may have to adjust it depending on other display factors.
For example, if you are displaying N rows per page, you'll probably want all the columns displayed for the first row on the page, even if that row belongs to a group that started on a previous page.
This is exactly the kind of functionality that SQL*Plus provides with the BREAK command.
If Apex has something like SQL*Plus's BREAK, you're better off using it.

Bug with use of TRn and nX editting in formatting and non advancing output

Hello.
I am using non-advancing output to print data values in columns in tables. Where a column doesn't have values
I use the TRn editor to skip over the column field. However, this doesn't work with non advancing output.
e.g., the following code doesn't work properly. The output is missing the 10 spaces between the data items.
(I tried changing TR10 to 10X and that didn't work either).
a = 1.0
b = 2.0
! Write data
write(10,'(F10.4)',advance="no") a
! Skip 10 places
write(10,'(TR10)',advance="no")
! Write data
write(10,'(F10.4)',advance="no") b
This works fine on all my other compilers, just not the one that comes with oracle studio 12.2.
Edited by: davidb on 16-Oct-2011 15:06

My original post wasn't too clear (sorry). The bug is with TR.
The following code should write the numbers 1 to 10 with four spaces separating each value. But no spaces are written.
program tst2
integer :: i
do i=1,10
write(10,'(I4)',advance='no')i
write(10,'(TR4)',advance='no')
end do
close(10)
end program tst2
In fact the file fort.10 which is produced contains
12345678910
Whereas, with gfortran, open64, ifort, nag Fortran compilers I get (there are four spaces, this forum just doesn't show them all):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Satellite U300 connected to TV - Non supported video format

I am using Toshiba Satellite U300-15q and it has a vga output so i bought a cable and a box that transfers te analogue signal of vga to digital of hdmi so that i can connect it to my 32' TV Sony make.
But if i connect it it says on the tv in yellow letters non supported video format.
Why is that and how can i fix it ?

In the whole story problem is that you use third part hardware or software so this described issue has nothing to do with your Toshiba notebook or Toshiba in general.
On notebooks side is important that video signal is sent on proper way. What happen later and why this signal is not transformed correctly is matter of this box.
Which box do you use?
In my opinion you should contact manufacturer of this box and their support. They should know how it works and how to fix this.
Generally speaking, Toshiba has nothing to do with this problem.

Broadcast Email to PDF output format

Hi All,
We are using the standard web template (0ANALYSIS_PATTERN) to broadcast email for PDF output format. I'm managed to received the PDF attachment email but however instead of one query, it contains duplication of the same query (repeated query) in the PDF file. We are also using the standard 0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCAST_PDF web template.
Has anyone experience this issue before and what is the solution for this?

Enhancement Req (v4.0): Report Query- Output Format- Derive from Item

Brief Introduction
I have 1 major request I would like to make (and 2 lesser ones). The first, I would like to specify custom available output formats for 'Report Query' objects, as well as Reports Regions, Interactive Reports, etc. I believe that this could easily be an instance setting in the Report Server region of the internal workspace, or per workspace / application. Even if not supported on the system wide level, I would recommend that the "Derived from Item" output format "Return Value" be allowed to be returned unaltered to the Report Server. I know that the type is returned as "_xf", and for my purposes I would REALLY like to be able to get something other than the defaults.
Use Case
I am creating a custom JasperReports integration (for which I will be launching a public SaaS beta extremely soon). It uses the standard Apex reporting objects (Queries, Layouts, Print Buttons, etc). JasperReports templates are uploaded as Report Layouts and everything works fine. I am, however, wanting to implement as many output formats as are available to me in Jasper...that means Word 07, Excel 07, ODS, ODT, etc. For the items that take a print server override I can handle this in other ways (even though this appears broken [see below]), but for the standard report queries this isn't available. I would basically like the option to define the set of available output formats for the report server, and what the "_xf" returned for each one is.
Minor Requests
- Replace Uploaded Templates: If a template is used often and updated, then it has to be changed everywhere...minor irritation.
- Customize Report Server URL for the Workspace or Application: For SaaS instances, workspace developers may license or have access to reporting solutions that are not (and should not be) available to all of the Oracle instance's workspaces, or may conflict with a service that is already provided by the instance administrators.
Broken
When I use the print server override, with the "Use Headers From" option, it appears that neither my content type, nor my content disposition headers are being sent back to the client. This is the work around solution for the non-standard types issue I am requesting enhancement on, so I would like to know what I can do to get this working immediately.
Additional Info
As it stands, if the site is available, feel free to sign up for the beta. The beta keys will be exported soon to the instance and made available. Instructions on setup will also follow:

Hi, please did you get any solution to this issue? I am having similar challenge right now.
select     EMP.DEPTNO as DEPTNO,
     DEPT.DNAME as DNAME,
     EMP.EMPNO as EMPNO,
     EMP.ENAME as ENAME,

     EMP.MGR as MGR,
     EMP.HIREDATE as HIREDATE,
     EMP.SAL as SAL

     SCOTT.EMP EMP
where EMP.DEPTNO=DEPT.DEPTNO
and      DEPT.DNAME =upper(:dname)
This run perfectly in sql developer, toad, and even inside publisher if I login directly to publisher to create report.
Generating this same query in shared component query builder and testing it returns no data found. If I remove the last line, it works. but with the last line, it return no data found. It seems no one has been able to provide solution to this issue

LinkedList - printing non-repeated occurrences

I have to read some data from a file. Each line is in the following format: ID_number;Name;address.
Store it and then print all the occurrences that are not repeated.
If the file had the following lines:
+12345;John;California+ <-- repeated ID
+3243243;Marie;Mars+
+12345;Jane;Madrid+ <--- repeated ID
+4344444;Jill;US+
I would print:
+3243243;Marie;Mars+
+4344444;Jill;US+
Since I don't know how many lines the file has I was thinking about using a LinkedList to store the values
instead of an array but I do not know of any efficient way to remove the repeated occurrences or just print
the non-repeated.
I'm quite new to Java. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

This is how I did it. Works but I am not sure if it is the best way to do it.
import java.util.LinkedList;
public class TestFile {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          LinkedList<String> llist = new LinkedList<String>();
          llist.add("23167;sadas sd d;asdasd Dfffd");
          llist.add("12345;sdas s sd;asd sd sasd");          // repeated
          llist.add("443324;sadasd;Asdasd");
          llist.add("12345;sGadasd;Asdd sd ssad");          // repeated
          String[] v = llist.toArray(new String[0]);          // LinkedList to Array
          boolean dupFound = false;
          // sets repeated occurrences to null
          for (int i = 0; i < v.length - 1; i++) {
               dupFound = false;
               if (v[i] != null) {
                    for (int j = i + 1; j < v.length; j++) {
                         if (v[j] != null && v.split(";")[0]
                         .equals(v[j].split(";")[0])) {
                              v[j] = null;
                              dupFound = true;
                    } //inner for
                    if (dupFound) {
                         v[i] = null;

Diagnostic Reporter Output Format?

Hello; I've just begun working with the Diagnostic Reporter piece that comes with the StorEdge 3x00 software, and I've generated reports and notifications in both XML and non-XML format.
I have no XML experience; when I receive the report in XML format, and I attempt to open in IE, it displays the XML coding for the report. If I open it in Firefox, it also displays the coding, but includes an error at the bottom saying that there "appears to be no style sheet" available for this XML file.
If I use the non-XML format, the report comes in a jumbled plain-text format. Some sections are tidy enough to be read, others aren't.
I've gone through Sun support, and the group that I was directed to stated that no one on their team has any experience with the Diagnostic Reporter tool.
Does anyone have any tools or tips for how to read or reformat the Diagnostic Reporter output? Thanks!

Hi,
While defining Template you have defined the output format as pdf,so edit the template and output format Excel.

Best Output Format for Slide Show?

If I were to purchase Final Cut Studio...
What would be the best output format to use for a simple slideshow intended for Web deployment? In other words, which encoding method will provide the best compromise between file size and video quality? The slideshow is a series of simple static images with some fade transitions and Ken Burns effects. There is also a soundtrack for background music.
A 1.5 minute slideshow with soundtrack created using Adobe Flash is less than 2 MB in size (which is great for Web deployment), and it looks very good. If that same slideshow is exported from Flash to a QuickTime-compatible format, it balloons to over 20 MB!
So what I'd really like to know is, if something like Final Cut Pro were used to create that same slideshow, would I be able to produce a web-ready video that rivals the Flash version in size?
Thanks for any help and insight you can provide,
-Steve

Quicktime is a file wrapper that can contain anyone of a number of codecs.
Yes, I understand that.
H.264 is the prefered version for web/apple TV delivery.
A 90s slideshow that was less than 2 MB as a SWF file became a 27 MB behemoth when exported using the H.264 codec. The exported file had the same frame rate and resolution (pixel dimensions) as the original Flash file. The audio was optimized as well. Why the dramatic difference? (I think I know why, but perhaps I'm missing something.)
That being said, Final Cut Pro is a video editing program and is a waste of money if all you are doing is simple slideshows.
Slideshows are not all I will be doing, but I will be doing them occasionally, and it's hard to justify purchasing Flash just to create slideshows that are optimized for the Web.
Have you tried iMovie then converting the output to either Flash or (if you have Quicktime Pro) converting to h.264 QT?
My tests indicate that anything but Flash format results in a monstrous file for a simple slideshow. I have a notion as to why this is, but I wanted to check to make sure that I'm not overlooking some way of creating smaller non-Flash files.
The bottom line is that Final Cut Studio will be far more useful and versatile for what I need to do, and I would be much more proficient with that software; but if I can't output video files that rival those of Flash in terms of quality and file size, then I might have to get a copy of Flash after all.
And yes, you can convert a QuickTime movie to flash, but it's just not the same in terms of file size as generating the same slideshow directly in Flash. I suspect this is because Flash is optimized for animation, whereas the QuickTime codecs are designed for video, and a simple slideshow is more of an animation than a video.
So my real question is (and I suspect the answer is no), is it possible using Final Cut Studio to generate a simple slideshow which rivals the output from Flash in terms of file size for a given resolution?

How to change the output format (procedure) in the "norma 19" (CSB19)

A bank asks us that the file that currently we send to them with the data of the domicile of our busines partners (customers ISU) must have a different output format from that is currently sending, specifically ask us to change the procedure 1 to the 2 of the "norma 19" (CSB 19) --> (Data Medium Exchange)
I appreciate if someone can shed me some light on the subject ...
Where can I customize the "norma 19"?
How to change to the procedure 2?
thank you very much in advance.

Can someone help please. 1. Write a class that connects to the database, runs the proc, extracts the data and puts it in an ArrayList. This class does NOT have any gui code (none, zero.)
2. Test that class
3. Write GUI code that uses that class.
Questions about 1 and 2 are posted to this forum. Questions about 3 are posted to a forum that deals with GUIS - not this one.

Help deciding best output format and workflow to obtain it.

I’ve volunteered to create a class video for my son’s school. The majority of my source footage (~80%) is DV NTSC 720x480i 16:9 29.97 fps shot on a Sony DSR-PDX10. The remainder consists of 1920x1080p 59.941 fps, 1280x720p 119.89 fps, and 1280x720p 59.941 fps, all shot with a GoPro 3. I need to deliver the final product on discs to the students/parents, though I can be flexible as to whether it is SD DVD or HD Blu-Ray. I have Adobe CS6 Production Premium suite of applications and I’m not opposed to purchasing other products/add-ons in the couple of hundred dollar range if they’d be of a significant help.
I’m trying to figure out what output format would give the best quality and the workflow to achieve it. I’ve been perusing the internet looking for help, but it has gotten a bit overwhelming and there doesn’t seem to be a definitive answer out there.
I’m wondering since most of my footage is 720x480i, should that be my output format and just down-convert or crop the HD footage. Or since most folks will be viewing on HDTV’s (which would up-convert an SD-DVD anyhow), should my output format be HD and should I up-convert the SD footage myself. In any case, when and how should I do the up/down converting, interlacing/de-interlacing, and converting to/from square/non-square pixels (before importing into Premiere, on the timeline, with 3rd party converters, on export or in Encore with AME, etc).
Any advice or suggestions would be most certainly appreciated.

If most of the footage is SD, I'd just make the call to work SD and go out to DVD. You shouldn't have too much of an issue using the GoPro footage on an SD timeline I don't think. Just keep an eye on your frame edges and scale up if the PAR mixing is introducing any letter/pillarboxing.
But I wouldn't export out in DV AVI format for your final export. DV AVI is quite lossy. Sure, most of your footage is already DV, but if you're adding any titles they'll get really gunked up. Instead, go directly out of Premiere into your DVD formats (MPEG2-DVD with NTSC DV Wide preset).

Hi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Pragati

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

Output format in background is not same as Foreground

Dear All,
I am running a report in Background but output is not coming in desired format. Suppose output contains 35 columns ( while running the report in Foreground) but in doesn't show all the columns in background. Is there any SAP Standard settings by which we can set the output format as per our requirement while running the job in background.

Thanx Sourabh for your reply,
I have check the variant , it is correct. It's a common problem that end users are facing in my organization.
What I want that if standard output has width of 35 columns ( in foreground ), it must show all the columns in background also.

Lost Calendar appointments (only non-repeated evnets)

I have trouble in my Palm Z22 , Palm Desktop 4.2@Windows XP.
I recently found all the NON-REPEATED Data from yr 2003 to mid 2008 has gone whereas the repeated data during the period are intact. Besides, data before yr 2003 and after June 2008 are alright. The situation is similar to another thread http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=windows_hotsync&message.id=34943
I have backup copy of files "DateBook.bak", "DateBook.mdb" in Feb 2008, which might be created by another version of Palm Desktop. I know that under my current Palm Desktop 4.2, the working file should be "datebook.dat".
How can I extract data from "DateBook.bak", "DateBook.mdb" so that it is readable to Palm Desktop 4.2?
Thanks!

You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. Using 6.2 the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak. For 6.2, the files are located in the username folder in PalmOSdesktop in my documents.
The files are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. You can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.

Here is another link regarding data loss;
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=39503
The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.
Here is a link for other options for backing up your data;
