Printing LONG columns -- truncation

When we include LONG data in a Hyperion report section, it always gets truncated at the end of a page.
Are we doing something wrong? Is this a bug (we've seen it since Brio 6.6 and now in Hyperion 9.3)?
What are others doing to work with it? I don't like the option of breaking the LONG data into segments and then printing the segments -- but....
Thank you!

Justin,
I just checked my problem against ODBC driver version 8.1.7.8b and 9.0.1.5 and in both version the problem is corrected. Version 8.1.6.6 still has the problem but 8.1.6 seems to be desupported now so no new drivers will become available.
I guess the only option for 8.1.6 clients will be to upgrade to 8.1.7 client software.

How to find out the length of a LONG column?

How can I find out the length of a LONG column, I should write a stored procedure which will return me the length of a LONG column passed as an argument to it!
any ideas or suggestions? please respond, i need this urgently, or you can mail me at [email protected]
thanks,
srini

Actually a LONG variable in PL/SQL maxes out at 32K, so this would not be accruate. If you are running Oracle 8+, you could do a conversion to LOB which will give you an accurate length. Note, this example needs a table created to hold the converted lob value, you can't do it directly in pl/sql:
create table lobhold
(templob clob);
declare
mylength number;
begin
execute immediate 'insert into lobhold select to_lob(text) from equipment_notes where equipment_id=1448';
select dbms_lob.getlength(templob) into mylength
from templob;
dbms_output.put_line(mylength);
execute immediate 'truncate table lobhold';
end;

Please Help - SQL Report long column value required in a separate cell

Hi.
I need to create a SQL report with the structure like below:
Country State City Vertical Business Details (detail desc)
US MA Quincy Healthcare
This is a detail desc value that needs to displayed in a different cell.
This is a detail desc value that needs to displayed in a different cell.
This is a detail desc value that needs to displayed in a different cell.
This is a detail desc value that needs to displayed in a different cell.
US MA Braintree IT
This is a detail desc value that needs to displayed in a different cell.
This is a detail desc value that needs to displayed in a different cell.
This is a detail desc value that needs to displayed in a different cell.
I came through a solution where you can hide/display the long column value in a different cell. But my requirement is that it should be displayed when the page opens and user don;t want to click on a button to see the value. This is mainly for their presentations and printing. so its very annoying for them to click on so many buttons to see the detail desc value for every record. I am new to Java script, Please help

I'm not sure I understand your requirements--are you showing us 2 lines of data, 7 lines, or 9? Do you want the long detail description on the same row, or underneath it?
I'm going to go on the assumption that you're showing us two rows, and that the long descriptions in this example happen to be 3-4 lines long, and that you want the long descriptions underneath the details. In which case, I suggest using "named column" templates. They're a lot easier to use than they appear when you first look at them, so bear with me.
Under "Shared Components", select "Templates", and then click on the yellow Create> button. You're creating a report template, from scratch. On the final page of the wizard, select "Named Column (row template)" for the template type. This will create a rather generic (and useless) template, which you'll have to edit; I don't know why they chose to not send you straight into the editor. When you edit it, you'll see that the only field with a value in it is "Row Template 1", and it's set to:
<tr><td>#1#</td><td>#2#</td><td>#3#</td><td>#4#</td><td>#5#</td></tr>For meeting your requirements with basic functionality, change it to something along the lines of:
<tr><td>#COUNTRY#</td><td>#STATE#</td><td>#CITY#</td><td>#VERT#</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="4">#DETAILS#</td></tr>Then you'll probably want to put something under Column Heading Template, like:
<tr><td>Country</td><td>State</td><td>City</td><td>Vertical Business</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="4">Details</td></tr>Apply whatever CSS styles you want to it, of course.
Using the template is straightforward: if your report, chose the template, and make sure your SQL returns values using the column names you specified in your template. Otherwise, you'll see literal "#COUNTRY#" text in your report.
You can get fancy with these, of course, such as applying different styles to alternating rows, but I'll leave this as good enough to get you started (I hope).

I want to print an 8 x 10, but the photo does not look like the print preview - it truncates part of the picture

I am using an HP PSC 2355 printer - and have not had trouble printing before. The 8 x 10 photo does not print like the print preview does - everything elarges when the actual print completes, which truncates all details that need to be printed. Is ther a setting that I should be choosing?

There is no O or L in my Serial Number, and it starts with one single D, then a set of 3 numbers, 3 letters, 4 times, then 3 letters closing it down. When I check my Final Cut's serial number in the help section of the software, I get the same number. Yet, when I enter it in the site, it says, I have an invalid serial number. So I will call Apple Care. I hope I will be able to talk to a representative in an hour or so. It always takes so long that I grow beard while I wait.

     END LOOP;
END;
The copy works fine if I remove the long column from the CREATE TABLE "Tmp_CB_REPORT" statement
and the cursor copy statement. Any help is appreciated.

What I think you should do is to turn your long into a LOB. LOBs are much malleable than LONGs. I suggest you have a look at the documentation for DBMS_LOB. You can create a function using DBMS_LOB that uses a temporary CLOB to reas your long column an dreturn a CLOB.

How do i print multiple columns on 1 page in numbers

I think I am over thinking this but I have confused myself. I am using Numbers to create a spreadsheet of family names with their corresponding number. I would like to print multiple columns of names on one page to save paper but I can't figure how to do it. Will someone please help me???

Hi BestMommy,
Here is one way. Don't mess with your database. Create a new table for printing.
Database with a Header Row (named Table 1 as an example) might look like this:
Name
1
Name 1
2
Name 2
3
Name 3
4
Name 4
5
Name 5
6
Name 6
7
Name 7
8
Name 8
9
Name 9
10
Name 10
11
Name 11
12
Name 12
13
Name 13
14
Name 14
15
Name 15
New table for printing:
Name
Name
1
Name 1
8
Name 8
2
Name 2
9
Name 9
3
Name 3
10
Name 10
4
Name 4
11
Name 11
5
Name 5
12
Name 12
6
Name 6
13
Name 13
7
Name 7
14
Name 14
Formula in A2
=Table 1::A2
Formula in B2
=Table 1::B2
Formula in C2
=Table 1::A9
Formula in D2
=Table 1::B9
So it loops back from the bottom of a page to start a new column.
I made this example small for the pics, but obviously you could have more rows and columns per page.
Having created your table for printing, select it, Cut, add a new sheet and Paste. Print just that sheet.
Have a look at 'More Like This' at the bottom of this page. Trying to format page to print table in two columns Jerry suggests using Pages instead of Numbers.

Ian.

I recently began using reminders in ical and downloaded the iPhone and iPad app. It works great. However, the reminders in ical on the COMPUTER is difficult to work with - thin long column on the right rather than in it's own screen. is there a reminders app for the COMPUTER that is more user friendly?

How to Print Long Text

Hi All
I want to print long text of WCD (work clearance document) in smart form (Field name is LTXT). How do i do. I don't know different parameters for function module 'READ_TEXT'. Any suggestion.
Thanx and Regards,
Rajesh Vasudeva

Hi,
Go to the text in the Standard Document and then double Cliick on it. Then Click on the Lens below(Detail). In the new screen, Naviagate Goto---->Header. It will give you the relevant details like Text object, Text ID etc which can be used in the read text FM. Usally the text name is the Document Number and the Text ID and Text Object is Constant for that particular Document type.
Hope this helps

Change Tablespace of a table with LONG column

I have a 9i database that I have just gotten control of. At this point there is just one big dictionary managed tablespace for everything created by users. I am trying to move to multiple locally managed tablespaces with fixed extent sizes but I have run into a problem.
I have one table with one LONG datatype column. Apparently there is a huge amount of work involved to change the code if I make it a BLOB so that is out.
At this point I would like to change the tablespace of this table but I can't move it the normal way because of the LONG column. I have found mention of being able to do this with "COPY" but I can't find any documentation on the "COPY" command in the 9i Docs.
Any help would be appreciated,
Chris S.

Chris-
Can't you create your new table ahead of time in your new tablespace?
You could then use a statement like:
COPY FROM old/your_password@olddb TO new/your_password@newdb -
REPLACE NEWTABLE -
USING SELECT * FROM OLDTABLE;

You should report this in a service request on http://metalink.oracle.com.
It is a shame that you put all the effort here to describe your problem, but on the other hand you can now also copy & paste the question to Oracle Support.
Because you are using 10.2.0.3; I am guessing that you have a valid service contract...

Select LONG column from Remote table

Hi to all.
I have the following problem: I can't select a LONG column from remote database, when there are Join operation in the query. Example:
SELECT long_column FROM remote_table@DB
-> that's OK, but:
SELECT long_column FROM remote_table@DB INNER JOIN remote_table2@DB ON ...
-> returns: "ORA-00997: Illegal use of LONG datatype"
I cannot even perform (because there a LONG column in the joined table):
SELECT nonlong_column FROM remote_table@DB INNER JOIN remote_table2@DB ON ...
That's very strange to me because:
SELECT long_column FROM local_table INNER JOIN local_table2 ON ...
-> is OK!
Can someone help me to SELECT a long column from remote in SELECT query with JOIN clause!
Thanks a lot!

Hi
"Distributed queries are currently subject to the restriction that all tables locked by a FOR UPDATE clause and all tables with LONG columns selected by the query must be located on the same database. " by otn docs.
I have no idea.
