Output format problem.

Hey guys! You've always helped me out and I hope you can help me out with this problem I have.
I was asked to give two videos a specific output, one of them I developed in After Effects, the other is a Quicktime (.MOV) video.
I'm actively trying but I can't seem to figure out how to deliver the exact requirements they're asking of me. Here goes.
My animation on AE was made at 720x480, Square pixels.
The .MOV is at (according to QuickTime Inspector) 720x486 (640x480) Linear PCM. At 29.97 FPS, 53.62 Mbit/s Current Size 648x480.
Their requirements are:
Wrapper: Quicktime Selfcontained
Header: ALIS
Scan: Interlaced
Field Dominance: Lower field
Compressor: DVCPRO 50
Bit Rate: 50 Mnps
FPS: 29.97
Codec Audio: PCM
Aspect Ratio: 4:03
They're asking for Betacam format.
I have, honestly no idea how to get all those requirements in the file.
I can output it compressed by DVCPRO50 from AE, but I can't alter the Bitrate and the aspect is changed to 0.91, I have no idea how to get the PCM audio codec, or how to change the field dominance.
I've been using AE for a while now, but I've never been asked to get a different format other than Quicktime with H264 compression.
I'm sorry this is so long, but, I hope you guys can help me out on how to get these specifications on these files. Wether it can be done directly from AE, or if I have to use Adobe Media Encoder, or something of the sort.
If you need ANY information I haven't given you, please let me know.
Thanks for your attention!!

ME81N - Analysis of Order Values - output format problem

Hi all,
In transaction ME81N, we are unable to change the output format to a different type of output such as a File Store, Excel file etc.
All the options appear to be greyed out and it defaults only to SAP List Viewer.
Do you know why we are unable to modify this option and whether there is an issue with this? Or whether this is restricted via other means?
thanks and regards

I think you are looking for diff one
you are having the issue on the first screen it self.
To resolve that issue go to header and click on GOTO-Variants- save as variant
here you will see the std SAP variant SAP&BEWA
go to the bottom screen
Now scroll down the botton screen where you can find the all the fields you are looking as Protected and hide
uncheck all the filels which you want as protected and hide
and save the variant then go back to ME81N main screen and you will see that selectio is available.
sorry for confusion

Output formatting problem

How do i maintain my file format after calling a method to over write it with new data?
Instead of /n i get junk square boxes and it writes the output ina singleline.

Output formatting problems with SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

Hi,
I am sending an output file via email using the function module SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.
The tlines table which I am passing into this function has 66 lines in it and I expect there to be 66 lines in the output file attached in the email. However, everything seems to be output into a single line.
If I send the output directly to the server it is fine.
Has anyone seen anything like this before or have any suggestions on what might be causing this?
Thanks,
Ruby

Problem with Excel output format

Hi Guys,
I am creating a report in XML Publisher (not standalone). I am facing some problems could anyone please help me to figure out the issues.
Is it possible to have all three output format (PDF, HTML & EXCEL) exact (same aligned) only by creating a single RTF Template? I am facing the problem with Excel output format the output format of excel is taking excels cell formatting.
Example Numeric fields --> Right Aligned, text fields --> Left Aligned
One more issue with excel is -ve(negative) values are getting displayed in red and in brackets like ($13) (with red color).
Our client want excel output on priority.
Is there any limitation for excel output format of reports?
It is very urgent for us please help.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pragati

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 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.

Attempt to process file failed with Exception in XML Parser-format problem

Hi all,
Iam getting an unusual error in the J2EE stack in XI.
And the message is:
006-11-30 17:31:07 Error Attempt to process file failed with Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.NestedSAXParserException: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Invalid char #0xf(:main:, row:1, col:1044002)(:main:, row=1, col=1044002) -> com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Invalid char #0xf(:main:, row:1, col:1044002)' 2006-11-30 17:31:07 Error Exception caught by adapter framework: null 2006-11-30 17:31:07 Error Delivery of the message to the application using connection AFW failed, due to: RecoverableException.
My scenerio iam posting IDOC to a flat file with content conversion in the receiver side,the mapping got executed successfully and in the audit log i found that the error was after the 'Start converting XML document content to plain text'.
This means that error occured during content conversion of XML to the prescribed file format.
Can anyone suggest any better approach using which we may trace the junk data in IDoc. Manual adhoc approach could take time and is error prone.
Thanks in advance...
karun

Hi Bhavesh,
Thanks for the early reply. I checked the mapping and everything is fine and the output is also in valid XML format.
The audit log shows that the mapping got executed successfully and the error is after the step 'Start converting XML document content to plain text '. Is there any constraint in the file adapter regarding the message size for parsing.

Different resolution in preview and output format

Hi Folks
I need your help. We already captured a lot of e-learning material but come to a problem.
The output format quality is less good than the preview quality.
Win7 /Captivate 6
Capture resolution for software simulation is 1024x768.
Producing the material in swf and html. No compressing, set to best quality.
Open the preview: quality is nearly the same as the original source.
Open the swf directly or the html --> output looks cloudy, diffuse.
Test with an without scalable html. In case of scalable html it is hard to find the right resolution (1024x768) on a 1280x1024 resolution monitor, but you can find it and the the output is clear as the preview.
The output format resolution within the project is set to 1024x768. We measured the "true" output resolution on different produced output formats, and they are all a little bit higher than 1024x768, about 4% more heigh and width.
Of course, I was able to change the html-script which sets the start-format for an swf to open, if I change it to 1024x768 and save it, the quality of the swf is like the preview and sharp and ok. But in case of scalable html I cannot set the format. However, why the swf -even when i start/opeen it directly- didn't start with the right resolution set in the settings within the project?
Also our target group should not "search" for the sharp resolution by scaling the output window.
Why does captivate change the resolution? why is the preview ok and the produced swf not? I didn't understand that fact.
Also we like to produce with TOC, so the widht for TOC is 250. If I change the html script in that case to 1024+250=1274x768 the swf is also unshapr/cloudy and I havee no change to fit it to the right resolution (1024+TOC).

Rob

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

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().

Jason

Query Output Formatting Help

Hello All,
I'm having problems trying to format the output of one of my queries. I'm new to SQL and I consider my writing the query a HUGE win.... but I can't seem to get the correct output format.
Per the code below, it is outputting the Last Name (lname) of the employee, a count of what I want, and the overall rank. I would like to concatenate the employee number (emp#) the first (fname) and last name (lname) together into the same column in the output.
The concatenation code would be something like the below.
Desired concatenation:
emp# || ' - ' || lname || ', ' || fname AS EMPLOYEE
I'm using Oracle 11g Express. Please let me know if you need any supporting information to assist you.
I appreciate all your help!!! Thank you.
Query
SELECT EMPLOYEE, PREPARED,
RANK() OVER (ORDER BY Prepared DESC) AS rank
FROM (SELECT lname EMPLOYEE , COUNT(DISTINCT reportnum) PREPARED
      FROM employee
      LEFT OUTER JOIN faultreport USING (empno)
      GROUP BY lname
      ORDER BY Prepared DESC)
WHERE rownum < 15;

Whenever you have a problem, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).
See the forum FAQ: https://forums.oracle.com/message/9362002

It looks like you've found the right way to concatenate the columns. How to use that in your query depends on your data, and what you want the query to do with that data.
If you GROUP BY lname, what do you want the concatenated value to be when different rows having the same lname have different fnames and/or emp#s?
Do you want to GROUP BY the new concatenated employee instead of lname?

How can i set permanent neat output format

Hello Experts ;

Always i a, having problem with table output format.
please provide permanent solution for neat output.
i am not asking for following output. i need permanent solution because every i have to adjust axx to a 99;
My emp table output looks like following below

Thanks !

Hi,
It looks like you're asking about formatting done by the front end. How to control that depends on your front end, so say what front end you're using. (This forum is supposed to be for SQL and PL/SQL language questions, so this may not be the best place to ask this question.)
It looks like you might be using SQL*Plus as your front end. As far as I know, the default column formats can't actually be changed in any version of SQL*Plus, but you can put changes into LOGIN.SQL scripts, that get run automatically whenever you start a SQL*Plus session, and that may be just as good for your purposes.

Scheduled Reports Output Format

Dear All,
Does anyone know how I can schedule WEBI reports in the same formats as crystal reports? I currently use BOXI r3.
The current WEBI options are only:
Web Intelligence
Excel
Adobe Acrobat
Where the crystal options are:
MS Excel
MS Word
PDF
RTF
TXT
TTX
CSV
XML
I need to be able to schedule a series of WEBI reports in csv & txt formats to an FTP location.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

I believe the only option for WEBI reports output formats are Web Intelligence, Microsoft Excel and Adobe Acrobat.
We have been having problems with scheduled reports output format in Excel. WEBI report's page layout is set to Legal and Landscape. But, MS Excel does not keep the same WEBI page layout margins for legal and landscape, and the report does not fit to page on Excel. WEBI formatting works best on Adobe Acrobat.
We opened a ticket with SAP... their response was it is a known issue with no solution.

Formatting problem when transform to PDF

Hi all,
I've found a problem with program RSTXPDFT4 and functions CONVERT_ABAPSPOOL ... and CONVERT_OTFSPOOL...
I want to convert to PDF the spool generated by a report using "classic" list programming (write and so on).
Output format is x_65_132, which is ok while I'm in SAPGUI, but when transforming it with report RSTXPDFT4, I get a PDF file in a x_65_80 (I think) format, so I'm having half of my list cut.
I've searched for notes and forums, and I found nothing about this.
Any Ideas? Is this a limitation of these FM's? Is there any other way of converting a list spool into PDF?
Thanks in advance,
Rafa

Hi all,
yesterday I went home and I tried the same in the MIniWas I have installed in my laptop, and the result was exactly the same!!
The test I made was: run a program in online mode, generate a spool request, and then use standard program RSTXPDFT4 to convert this request into a PDF file.
The report is defined as 65 x 132 (which should be landscape), but the PDF file appears in portrait (65 x 80 I presume).
I think the problem is in the funcions CONVERTxxx_SPOOLJOBxxx.
Did anybody have this problem? Should I think that it's not possible to convert list output spools to PDF???
Here is the code I used at home in the report.
REPORT z_test_list NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING
                    LINE-SIZE 132
