Hi papick,
this may be easier than expected for a million dollar erp system:
You need a PDF printer.
When I played around with adobe interactive forms our basis guys created a new printer in SPAD with
Device Attributes
Device Type PDF1
Device Class Stabdard Printer
location PDF-Frontend printer = Standard printer for workstation
Access Method
Host Spool Access Method FF
Host printer PDF
Then need some expremimenting with Functions
RSPO_OUTPUT_DEVICEDATA Spool Output Control of an Internal Table with Formatted Data
or something alike (see function group SPOD)
Then you should be able to create an entry in spooler (SP01) with spool request type adobe pdf document.
Sorry, I don't have this problem, thus I did not check out the details yet.
But I'm convinced it should work that way because the ADS server creates a complete PDF binary and it can be printed using the above described printer - actually a HP Laserjet V was configured as frontend printer and it can print the pdf.

Printing Response Data in the Form Layout?

I'd like to be able to select a response and print the data in the format of the form (so it looks the way it did when they entered it.) How can I do that?

Unfortunately you can't print a selected response and retain the format of the form. You can print out a response in more of a "record view". Try this - go to View menu -> Details View. A panel will open, at the bottom of the panel you can see buttons for save the detail view as PDF or print it.
This type of functionality is something we plan to provide in the coming months.
Hope this helps
Thanks,
Randy

Print a report on doc format truncate data

hi
I have a report launching with a form in an oracle applications, when I print a report on pdf format looks ok
but when I print the same report on doc format truncate data on left and right side.
Can you help me
thanks

Hi Herbe
Reports does not support .doc format. Are you referring .rtf format?
In any case, you must contact Oracle Support to get the issue resolved.

Printing Chinese Date format using Oracle Reports

Hi ,
I need to print the date as for e.g, 2006 4 12 (Year Month and Day) with a chinese character after each of the three components, representing the year, Month and Day.
When running the report with the format mask as RRRR Mon DD, I get the chinese character for the Month component and not for the year and day. I tried with different format masks available and also tried with somehting which is not in list as well. But, I couldn't get the intended format.
Is there anyone who has done this before? If so, pl. let me know the way to get this done.
regards,
tilak

Hi Olga,
If the Date in the database is date (not datetime) means you cannot use a DD-MON-RR HH:MI:SS in your reports.
If you want to show date with time means, change the properties in Oracle Forms of that date field and assign datetime as datatype.
So that the value inserted to the field will become datetime. and automatically if you use this column in your report you will get date along with time.
Hope this clears...

Soofi

Is there any way to print the data inside the Notes field of MIR6 Report

Hello Gurús.
We need to include the data inside the Notes field in the report MIR6 - INVOICE OVERVIEW - report.
Is there any way to print the data inside (comments) the Notes field as well in the Report ?
We found that the only way is to open the Notes and print it, but it takes time, any idea ?
Rgds.
MCM.

There's nothing built-in that does that. If you only have text fields and they don't have any formatting or other property that would prevent it (e.g., Date, character limit), you can run a simple script to populate each field with the field name, and then print. A more complicated approach would be a script that adds text annotations near/over each field that shows the field name. This would just be for documentation purposes, but it's possible. Post again if you'd like help with the first. You'll probably have to pay someone for the second approach if you don't want to do it yourself.

hi tripat,
actual problem is what u said it is decreased the wiidht of the output.
now the output is:
Sales Document C Date Entry time Created By Quotation date Date Document Date
SD document category Transaction group Sales Document Type Order reason
62741 07/29/1996 11:54:38 DARLENE 00/00/0000 00/00/0000 07/29/1996 C
actual output is:
output should come in a single line. it is splitting into 2 lines.
thanks,
maheedhar

Printing System Date on Report Title

How can I print the system date on the title of report generated by SQL*Plus?
I remember it is possible to include SQL.PNO in the statement TTITLE to print the page number. Is there any variable like SQL.PNO which represent system date?
Previously I've include SYSDATE to the SELECT statement of the report. It is the column named TODAY, with option NOPRINT and NEW_VALUE TT_TODAY, where TT_TODAY is include in TTITLE statement. The problem is: if the SELECT statement returns nothing, TT_TODAY will be blank/Null.
How can I work around with this problem?

Dear all,
My colleague told me the way to print System Date on title of SQL*Plus report as followed:
COLUMN today NEW_VALUE tt_today NOPRINT FORMAT A1 TRUNC
TTITLE CENTER tt_today RIGHT SQL.PNO
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET TERMOUT OFF
SELECT SYSDATE AS today FROM DUAL;
SPOOL RPTFILE
SELECT ....... << to generate report output >> .......
SPOOL OFF
SET TERMOUT ON
SET FEEDBACK ON
It works! The output file contains System Date on each page title.
I don't understand why Oracle didn't implement variable similar to SQL.PNO to represent the System Date. If Oracle is able to create SQL.PNO which can increment on each page break, why not the System Date which remains the same on each page?
