Output format as text

Hi All,
I am trying to run a report in 9i. when i run it from developer it is generating the correct output in text document. But when i run it thru apps it is giving me some special characters of the kind - &d@in many places.Please let me know the solution.
Thanks

Rhodri:
Application Express expects text response to actually be text response, delimited by other characters denoting a new value, and a new record set. You should leave the response as XML. The XML document will be stored in the xmltype01 column of the collection you specify. You can then convert that xmltype01 column to a clob if you like using .toClobVal().

Error in REST Web Service with Output Format as Text

Hi All,
I am referencing a REST web service, and can successfully connect to it and retrieve results with the Output Format set to XML.
I don't need the individual node values, I just want to capture the entire XML as a string, and populate a table column with it.
When I create a new Rest web service reference, with Output Format set to Text, and then create a form/report to run it, I get the following error when I click 'Submit':
ORA-06550: line 1, column 63: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "end-of-file" when expecting one of the following: ( - + case mod new not null others avg count current exists max min prior sql stddev sum variance execute forall merge time timestamp interval date pipe
Error Error sending request.
There are control characters in the XML, but surely this is handled by Apex, so I'm not sure what the problem is here.
Any ideas most welcome.
Thanks,
Rhodri

Concurrent generating wrong output format with TEXT as output type

And Actually i am trying to generate this output format type because , wer are using Zebra Printer to print lable and it is a XML enabled bprinter and understand this specifice XML DTD type. We found when set Output type to XML, it was not generating XML in accordance with DTD which Zebra printer understand Hence we are tring to use TEXT output.
Please suggest.

I get the solution for this issue.
The solution is to use XML Publisher etext temaplate.
Etext is used to get text output in any format.

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

Problem with Excel output format

Hi Guys,

Example Numeric fields --> Right Aligned, text fields --> Left Aligned

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

Output autonumber as text in xml-file

Hi All,
just wanted to know if it is possible to take the autonumber that is created via the EDD or a paragraph format in the application template and put it in some attribute or - even better - output it as text in the xml-file.
Btw: I'm still using FM8, if that makes any difference.
Thanks for all suggestions,
Anna

Hi Anna,
Generally, an autonumber is considered part of the document's formatting so it is not normally exported to XML. I am not sure if there is a built-in way of assigning it to an attribute in FrameMaker, but you could do this with FrameScript if necessary.

D51wkdmp.exe output format query

When i run d51wkdmp.exe to get the report details ,the syntax i see is
d51wkdmp <Workbook_Name> <Output_File> <DB|FS> <Connect_String> <Eul_Schema> -f
and the example given is "d51wkdmp "Video Tutorial Workbook" video.txt DB disco/[email protected] disco "
where video.txt is the output file.can i create an xml output file i.e Can i give the cmd like
"d51wkdmp "Video Tutorial Workbook" video.cml DB disco/[email protected] disco "?
Will it give me output in an xml format or .txt is the only output format that can be used?

Hi
The utility will only give you output in text format I'm afraid. It's just a quick way of seeing what a workbook is up to.
Best wishes

Build Array and Output Values to Text or Excel File

I know this is a simple question but I need some help. I'm reading a DC voltage in LabVIEW a while loop. I want to store all the read values into an array and export that array as an text or Excel file. I had a VI that I build before for this but I cannot seem to find it and I can't remember how I did it before. Any help is appreciated. I think I can do the exporting part but I do help with building the array (storing all the data values).

I run into a problem while using the "Write to Text File Function". Initially I took about 60 measurements and wrote to a text file. That works but I increased the amount of measurements to be taken to 600 and when I did that the output in the text file are all Chinese letters (or that's what it seems like). Is this because I'm writing too much data?
When I use the "Write To Spreadsheet File VI" to write the measurments it works fine for the 600 measurements. The problem with this is I cannot insert any text. Using the "Write to Text File Function" I inserted some text before the measurements and "end of lines", to format the data. Attached is a screenshot of my VI.

Formatting dynamic texts

Hi,
in SmartForms I use dynamic texts to output information in the form. It works fine but I have to format some of them for a smaller or bigger font. SAP does not give any possibility to set the paragraph and/or character formats like in the case of text elements.
How can I format my texts ??
Thanks.

Hi Jorge,
It is possible to create paragraph format and character formats in smartforms.
Go to tcode-SMARTSTYLES and create a style and then specify ur style in smartforms
Globalsettings->Formattributes->outputoptions->style
if ur copying predefined smartform the copy the used style into Zstyle and make further changes like ur own formata and use it...
Thanks&Regards,
Rama Krishna.
