dbms_output is trimming blanks, therefore you need to use some other non-visible character, e.g.
SQL> begin
2 dbms_output.put_line('Employee Report');
3 dbms_output.put_line('***************************');
4 dbms_output.put_line(chr(255));
5 dbms_output.put_line('*****************************');
6 end;
7 /
Employee Report

Office 2010 Don't print blank lines when data fields are empty

How do you do this in office 2010? Where do we go now?
This used to be under the Tools menu in previous versions:
On the Tools menu, click Mail Merge.
In the Mail Merge Helper dialog box, click Merge.
NOTE: You must select the main document and data source for the merge before doing step 2.
In the Merge dialog box, under When Merging Records, click either:
Don't print blank lines when data fields are empty.
-or-
Print blank lines when data fields are empty.
Click Close in the Merge dialog box, and then click
Close in the Mail Merge Helper.
NOTE: If you made no changes in the Merge dialog box, the
Close button is not available. Click Cancel instead.

Printing blank lines in IE 8, 9, 10 and 11 differs

We have Credit Reports that are put in Iframe (and hidden fields) and when the users checks which ones they want to print, we take the hidden fields an populate one Iframe to print them all from.
Problem is, IE 8 prints fine, IE 9 removes many of the blank lines that used to be there and IE 10 pretty much removes all blank lines. IE 11 seems to work ok though.
While IE 8 is being deprecated, IE 9 & 10 are still our majority users and am I trying to find a solution for them.
Is there something other than an iframe I should be using?
Here is the code:
for(count=0; count <= intCounter; count++)
vartabChecked = $get(printTab[count]);
if(tabChecked.checked ==
true)
varhdnPrintFieldName =
"hdnPrintFieldName"+
count;
vardoc = document.getElementById(hdnPrintFieldName);
    appendReports = appendReports + doc.value;
varprintDoc = appendReports;
    parent.iframeprint.document.open();
    parent.iframeprint.document.write(printDoc);
    parent.iframeprint.document.close();
    parent.iframeprint.focus();
    parent.iframeprint.print();
The report even looks different in the presented iframe (tabbed) in the various IE versions, though sometimes not exactly the same as the printed version in the same IE.

Hi,
IE8 doesn't understand textNodes that are white space. the firstChild property is affected by any white space preceeding the Node.
use
 <br/>
instead of
the above is a blank line.. (white space).
ensure that your external stylesheet links have a media attribute. Normally one would use a print only stylesheet (media='print') to show/hide visual elements when printing.
eg.
@media='print'{
#divCopyright{
display:block;visibility:visible;}
@media='screen'{
#divCopyright{
display:none;visibility:hidden;}

100           1000
100            1000
200           NIL

Arun,
1)
If you are using the function module REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY, then use the internal table it_sort with a row for the column where you want the suppression of repeated values.
2)
If you are using the function module REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY, then simply ensure that your internal table t_outtab has the rows that you need containing 'NIL'.

C4680 Prints Blank Pages using Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)

Hello.
My Hp printer recently started to print blank pages. The problem started with two of the prints partially printed and since then the rest appears blank. I check the UTILITY tool - the cartridge levels are good (the tricolor is full, the black ink level shows yellow warning triangle but no critical level). The next step I performed was printing a test page through UTILITY, but a blank page was printed. Finally I deleted the hp folder from Library/Printers, then deleting the Printer using the - sign in the System Preferences/Printers and back again to Printers with downloading and installing the drivers through the Apple Software Update as suggested by the system once I used the + sign (Add Printers) command. After all this manipulations the printer is still printing blank pages. Could you please help me with the solution.
Thank You,
PetarTzenev
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi TeriLynn,
I have successfully installed the v 3.3.1 Drivers on my Mac, but after triple check with my other macbook OS Yosemite and with other Windows Vista laptops I am almost 100% sure that the problem is the black cartridge. It should be completely empty nevertheless is shows some ink.
So, at least the Printer menus are there - utility, supplies, etc.
Once I buy the black cartridge, I hope I'll find the problem.
One suggestion for HP, please take my case and fix the Mac "no ink" notifications. At any moment I did not receive a pop-up warning that I have to change the cartridge.
TeriLynn, thank you very much for the efforts and your guidence. It was really helpful.
Thank you.
Best regards.

Printing blank spaces using dbms_output.put_line

There is one string getting generated dynamically. Upon generation, it may or may not contain blank spaces in the beginning. Then I am trying to print this on standard I/O using DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE. But if there are some leading spaces in the string, they are ignored. Is there any other way to print the exact string as it is?

hi..
it's depend on your client configuration.. you can configure the wrap option at the serveroutput parameter...
set serveroutput on size 100000 for wrap;
begin
2 dbms_output.put_line(' Hello world.');
3 end;

How to print blank records after the detail records in a masterdetail report

Hi,
Developing a report for time and attendance record. In this report I am printing all the employees in a department, limiting the no. of records per page to 10.
I need to insert blank lines at the end of all of the detail records in a page that has less than 10 employee records so that the no. of records displayed on a page can always be 10(these blank lines will facilitate the management to note down the temporary employees who worked for the department but are not part of the department).
I am using a tabular form with group above layout.
The report layout is as follows:
Department : FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION
Employee Name | Employee Number |
1 Jim | 1234 | _________________
2 John | 5678 |__________________
3 blank
4 blank
5
6
7
8
9
10 balnk
Supervisor's Sign:______________________
Note: the no. of blank lines should be inserted dynamically based on the no. of emp. records being printed on the page.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kavita.

Your solution works when I am not limiting the no. of records per page for a department to 10 records and when I want to print blanks lines for the depts that has fewer than 10 employees in it.
Exactly in my report I have several dept's that has more than 10 emp's. In such cases I'll be printing first 10 in one page and the rest in the next page. Now I want to dynamically print the blank lines in the second page depending on the no. of emp's on that page. I tried to acheive this by using a CS column that reset's at page level but, REPORTS is not letting me use CS column that reset's at page level in a format trigger. I also tried to copy the CS value into a parameter and or to a Place holder column and did not help.
Any more work around ideas to acheive this?? please help.
Thanks alot
Kavita.
Hi

Display the column in the report by using the text color as white
so it doesn't display in the report
I think this should help u i believe

How to avoid blank lines in smartforms?

Hi all,
I am using an INCLUDE TEXT in a smartform. The problem is it is priniting with the blank lines entered in the standard text.
I couldn't find any option for avoiding these blank lines using the respective smartstyles.
Is there any option to avoid the blank lines ? Please help me.
Thanks,
Aravind

Hi,
well if the blank lines are present in the include text.
then you have to modify the standard text.
in the smartform the text is printed as it is.
you need to make changes to the standard text.

SQL Report Writing blank lines or Formfeeds

I have a SQL Report that prints the data out correctly. My problem is there are several formfeeds or blank lines written at the top of the spool file. The report prompts users for information, does several calls to the database to create headings, creates 3 temp tables. The temp tables are:
TEMP1 - gathers information that is summed in TEMP2
TEMP2 - stores data from temp1 that has been summed
TEMP3 - creates the report using data from TEMP2 and other tables
A command file calls the sql file. Inside of the command file is the call to the spool file. Overview of code:
set trimspool on When these are on I get formfeeds. When they
set trimout on are off, it prints blank lines.
set heading off
set echo off
set feedback off
set verify off
set newpage 1
set space 0
set pagesize 60
set linesize 160
clear columns
prompt user for information
create headings and titles by quering various tables
create and insert data into TEMP1
create and insert data into TEMP2
create, insert, and update data into TEMP3
BEGIN report with TTITLE
SELECT * from TEMP3
end of report.
When I run the report in sql without using the command file, I get the same results.
Any suggestions as to what is creating this or how to get rid of it?
Thanks for your help,
Penny

Yes I have a suggestion.
Please move your spool line to just before the SELECT statement.
[not_meaning_to_be_sarcastic__really]
I have another suggestion. Please move your spool line to just before the SELECT statement.
Maybe if I say it enough times - you might actually take and try the suggestion. I find it useful when I ask people questions, to listen to them.
[not_meaning_to_be_sarcastic__really]
I mean no offense - but I gave you that answer days ago and it doesn't seem like you have tried it yet. TTITLE will be fired off when the SELECT is called, there is no need to have the 'spool' before the TTITLE.
It will take you maybe - tops - 10 minutes to give it a try - what'do'ya say - give'her'a'spin?
-- all your junk that creates form feeds or line feeds
SPOOL file_name_to_spool_to
SELECT * from TEMP3;
SPOOL OFF

Please specify what system, (OS X 10.?)

If you have an Intel based Mac built after 2006, you are in a pre-Intel forum.
PowerPC Macs cannot run an OS X newer than Leopard 10.5.8, in general.
And many newer applications need the Intel-based hardware, not PPC.
There are several ways of performing tasks, based on the software in use
and this changes when you may have posted in a different area than your
computer model, thus software suggestions based on this, may not apply.
As a user-to-user support community, we have no way to know what your

Some photo card stock (paper) requires a maker's software, to set it up.
