Print out of Report Region dropping negative values

I am very new to APEX (< 2 months) and don't have much of a programming background. I have created a report layout using BI publisher and made it available as a shared component in my APEX applicaiton. When I print the the report region, most of the data displays fine on the print out, but any amounts with negative values are suppressed. I can view the negative amounts just fine when they are displayed on the report region itself.
It took me quite a while to get the style sheets from BI Publisher to work with APEX. I thought the two were supposed to be compatible. Does anyone know how to resolve the issue above or if their are any known compatability issues between BI Publisher and APEX? We are on APEX version 4.2.1.00.08 and BI Publisher version 11.1.1.

This was indeed a bug. Response from Oracle:
This issue has been noted by development as a bug and I have file bug 16224878 regarding your issue. The issue explained by development pertains numeric format string which wraps the negative value in angle brackets: < val > , and the report is treating this as a HTML tag and filters it out. It looks like this is happening only for classic report regions, i.e. report queries seems to support this type of numeric format mask.
A work around would be to turn off printing for the classic report region and to provide a button to a report query for printing, using the same SQL for the report query as is used for the report region. Alternatively you could also use a different format mask.

hi,
U can either use this function module also
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT
or
SHIFT <yourField> LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'
or
try NO-ZERO option of WRITE statement
or
Another way is to create another variable of type I and assign the value into it
example:
DATA: L_NUMC(08) TYPE N.
DATA: L_INT TYPE I.
L_NUMC = '00000018'.
L_INT = L_NUMC.
Result will be = 18.
Hope this helps

I suspect you may be using ActiveX print control(?). If that is the case, look at permission issues.
1) If you run the app on the server it's self, are you able to print from there?
2) If you log in as an admin on the server, can you print?
3) If you log in as an admin on the a workstation, can you print?
Process Monitor will be a good utility to use to check permission issues. Process Monitor is here:

Printing PDF from Report Region - Header Details

Hi,
I've searched around for a while but was unable to find an answer to my query.
I have a simple report region, which i added a "Print" link to the bottom of - this brings up a formatted PDF version of the report which can be printed out, i'm just using the default PDF layout.
When it comes to adding a header and footer the PDF still functions ok, but when i try to add any page items it all stops working.
I basically need the time and date to appear at the top of the report, i created a hidden field just using the PL/SQL command "SYSDATE" which does return the correct value. But when i try to add this to the header or footer in the format "This document was printed on &P1_DATE", the PDF doesn't work, and when i try to download it, IE says the filesize is 0b.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, either something i've done wrong or if there is a better method,
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply Scott,
The PDF does download when I put a fullstop after the name of the item. Unfortunatly now the PDF displays as if the item "P1_DATE" is empty, i.e. it says "This document was printed on ",
I've made P1_DATE visible and it definitly displays a date, yet the exported PDF displays nothing where P1_DATE is referenced,
Just to confirm:
The Item is called P1_DATE
The references i've tried are &P1_DATE. and &P1_DATE
the date is populated by the code SYSDATE
Thanks again,
Iain.

Can i take print out of report

hi
 my report has line-size 205 czn i take print out of OUTPUT of this on A4 sheet on landscape.
 my second question is : - - what CIZ refer in SAP script i have seen it like
 &J_1IEXCHDR-EXBED(CIZ)& , , i think it use to truncate leading space.

1) yes, you can take print out on A4 paper in landscape format.
2) There are formatting options...
 C--> Space compression
 I --> Surpress output initial value
 Ex: &value& --> 0.00
 &value(I) --> empty space
 Z --> for omitting leading Zero
Close the thread once your question is answered.

Refreshing sql report region based on values from another region - 4.0

Greetings All,
I have a page with two regions, say region 1 and region 2. I have a before header process that fetches values from db based on criteria entered from another page. Region 2 is a sql report region with bind variables from region 1. When this page is rendered region 1 renders properly however sql report region always returns no records. What am i missing here?
I would like to have the region 2 render a report based on the values from region 1. Region 2 has a sql query that looks something like
select
colum 1,
column 2,
column 3
from table t1
where t1.c1 = :p10_item1
and t1.c2 = :p10_item2Using apex 4.0
thanks
Seetharaman

If these items hidden, try making them display only .
Also what happens when you move the items from region 1 to region 2.
From my experience items do not have much of a dependency on the region they are attached to other than cases when the region is not rendered(when its condition fails) and then the item values become null(bcoz they themselves are not rendered).

Printing out a report in PDF format

Hi,
A colleague and myself have been converting an existing system for our customer from the traditional client/server architecture to a web-deployed system on 10g application server. I have been converting the reports from report 3.5 to reports 10g. The reports work fine but the problem we have is more to do with the printer than the reports itself.
We have a requirement to print a barcode label (and some other text) to a DataMax printer. This printer seems to be quite fussy about the fonts that are used and essentially if you don't use the DataMax fonts the label comes out blank. I have managed however to produce reports as PDF and if I click the Printer button in the adobe control the report will print out as a bitmap image on the printer.
Is there any way that I can produce the report as a PDF file and get it to print automatically ?

Prohan,
I have never been able to get PDF generation working from APEX. I have asked for some help on this forum, but go no responses. And I just won't spend the outrageous license fees for Oracle BI Publisher. But I have been successful in doing what need with some simple methods.
1. If the email has some simple tables or formatted information from the database, use a PL/SQL procedure to generate an HTML formatted message and the utl_mail package to send the html formatted email. I use this for many customer and internal emails from both APEX and Oracle Forms applications.
2 There is a stand-alone product PL/PDF (http://www.plpdf.com/) that allows you to generate PDF files directly from PL/SQL (again not APEX specific). I have demoed this product and it works pretty well, but I am not using it at this time because of the licensing that requires a fee for each database instance. It's not really that expensive, but it's more than I want to spend for the number of databases I have.
3. If you have Acrobat Professional, you can export XML file from the database and create "mail merge" type PDF documents. But you can also do this with Word and a simple CSV or Excel output. Both of these are pretty easy from APEX. I have used both. I found the Work mail merge to be a little easier for end users to use, so this is my primary choice. But Acrobat Pro method also works well.
If you are interested in any examples of these methods, let me know and I can send you something.

Set focus to a report region after select value (user) report region

Hello,
On my page I have 4 report SQL Query report regions (among themselves). After selecting (user) of a value (report region number 3 with column link), the result shown in report region number 4. However, the focus is on report region number 1. The user sees the results do need to scroll down to see the answer(in report region number 4).
Does anyone have a solution for me with an example. Thanks.

Hi Varad,
sorry for the delayed response.
Please check the page:- 9999 of App:-964
I have made 2 simple reports with a button in each region.
SUCCESS MESSAGE of first one:- first process run by first report
SUCESSS MESSAGE of second one:- Saved Data..process run for second report
when first process is run by clicking the SUBMIT button in the first region, we will see the same first region back. But, when we click the SAVE button of second region, page submits and we will see the first region and user should scroll down to see the second region.
so, I am trying to see if I can have user see the same region back[second region,when SAVE button clicked, in this case] if he has done any operations on second region. My actual page has around 6 regions where scrolling down might be pain full for a end user.
Have created this page in a hurry .. My actual pages and processes are doing some use full job, the page I have given here is only for our testing purpose. please do not mind.
Thanks a lot for helping me..

HT204088 how do i print out a report of my individual purchases?

How do I print a report (not just view it on screen) of the individual purchases made on my itunes account?

There is no way to print a report of your purchases. All you can do is view your purchase history and take a screen shot of each screen and print the screen shots.

Printing out a report in Apex

I am building an Apex application that requires that a letter be sent to clients. The data in this letter will consist of a combination of boilerplate text merged with data from the database. Can somebody tell me how to do this in APEX?
I have been told that there may be a PL/SQL package that allows one to create a PDF document that can be displayed on the browser and then printed. If this is true, can somebody give me the details of where to find it and how to use it?
Or, if there is a better method, please tell me.
Thanks.
