Pls help! urgent! report in character mode

Hi all,
I have reports in Character mode.
In report designer, I have some text boxes in bold.
when I apply .prt file(like hpl.prt), the report output file will be inserted bold escape sequence before and after text boxes (like "(s7B" and ""(s7O").
My problem is the bold escape sequence only added into some text boxes, others are lost.
But when output the report on screen in character mode, it looks fine with bold and underline properly.
Did you have the similar problem with character report? how to sovle it?
Thanks in advance!!

Print landscape report in character mode

Hi!
It seems that I should change xxx.prt file in DESFORMAT parameter to match different kinds of printers in order to print landscape report in character mode.
Our customers are international wide. How can I do to make this setting meet every customer for printing reports in landscape style?
We will run the reports on Unix on the middle tier and customers read them in browser.
Thanks for help.

Hi,
This sounds like a similar problem that I had (and still having). It was (is) a Bug. Go to metalink.oracle.com and reference this bug#1413754. See if this is your problem as well. My only work around was change the format of the file instead of using character mode I am now using PDF. Which is working fine for me.

How to do a report in CHARACTER MODE?!

I have to do a report in CHARACTER MODE
and to print it to a EPSON LX-850 printer.
My report must have 21*9.5 cm (Width*height)
I did :
- in the Property palette of report Unit of measurement=centimeter
- in the Property palette of Main Section : Width=21,Height=9.5 and
in character mode Width=80 and height=22
- in System parameter the parameter MODE=CHARACTER and
the parameter DESFORMAT=R80x22
I did a file R80X22.PRT which contains :
printer "epson10cpix6lpi"
height 22
width 80
before report esc"@"
hilight overstrike
return control(M)
linefeed control(J)
When I print , the printer tear off the whole page A4
and didn't stop after 9.5 cm which is the height of my page in report.
What to do to stop the printer after the height of page in my report (9.5cm)?
Please help me!
Thank you!

What happens when you generate the report to file and look at the file? Does it look like it's generating to the correct size before the end of page marker?

REP-1352 when running web reports in character mode on linux server

Hi
After migration from 6i to 10g we have problems when we run reports in character mode on a linux (Red Hat Enterprise 4) application server (10.1.2.0.2).
The error REP-1352 occurs with any NLS_LANG or report's font setup. Original report's font is Courier New (Occidental) and NLS_LANG=FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8ISO8859P1.
I created a new simple report in character mode with font Courier New and it is generated successfully.
Witch migration step could I apply to avoid this error ?
Thanks in advance.

I didn't precise that reports failed to be executed with desformat=delimited but succeded with desformat=pdf.
Why Reports server on linux is unable to generate a full text report but can generate a pdf report ?

How to print report in Character mode using Oracle Developer 10g

I migrate my forms and reports from Oracle Developer 6 to Oracle Developer reports 10g,
We are using some character mode report for bill printing. But when i run these report through menu on Web i got error message like
"REP-1920: Character mode runtime incompatible with DESFORMAT of PDF, HTML, HTMLCSS, SPREADSHEET or RTF"
i don't want to change the character mode to any other mode because it effects the printing.
so how can it possible to set the mode to character and view report on Web.
pls. suggest me solution.

You have to pass the PRT file name as value for the DESFORMAT and use mode= MODE=CHARACTER.
E.g.
http://<host name>:<port>/reports/rwservlet?desformat=dflt&mode=character&.....

Reports 6i - Character Mode Printing

Hi all,
I am working on Oracle Reports (6i) and I had to generate the report to a physical file using Forms and Reports 6i. I have been generating the report to Screen and saving the report output to a PDF. But if I select the File int he DesType and give the filename to the DesName as "MyDrive:\ReportOutput" with any extension (.txt, csv, pdf, xml) I could not see the file in the drive sepcified. Whereas when I generate the report from the Report Builder with the same name as the DesName Parameter i could see the report. I hope it to be a configuration issue. Can anyone help me in this regard. And one more thing, If I got the file with extension as ".PDF" I could not open the file as such. But if text or csv then i could see the report output.
Thanks.
Ravi

Since a solid line is a bitmapped object, the only way you'll be able to get something like that is to run in bitmapped mode. Sorry, but that's pretty much the difference between running in bitmap vs. character mode.
Hope that helps,

Run report in character mode

I changed the settings of Report Properties to "Design in Chracter Units", and properties of Main Section, Section: "Width" and "Height", "Report Width" and "Report Height". I also changed the settings Preferences of Menu-Tools to "Character Mode" and Rulers in Menu-Format.
However, some reports were changed to character mode (interface), some not when I run them in Report Previewer.
I do not know why. I created and run them on Windows NT.
Thank you for any instruction.

Did you set the system parameter MODE = Character?

pls help its urgent

hi
good
have you checked in the debug mode, if you have checked in the debug mode check wheather it is giving any error before data is displaying in the screen, if any error is displaying as a message than check that error why it is coming there.
If no error is coming than check your flow of the bdc screen in the debug mode , there must be some prob, so that it is not working in the background.
thanks
