Problem with column export

Hi ,
I have a column in a report that I want to include in the csv export.
The column has a "Column Link" pointing to some other page in the application.
I tried setting field "Include In Export" to "Yes" and applying the changes. But when I see the column again, this field shows "No". I have tried this many times but every time, this field gets reset to "No". I am not able to export this column to csv export file.
Is there any problem with exporting columns with "Column Link"?
~Ketan

That problem is being debated, see: Include in Export does not work in APEX 3.1 .

  • Many problems with the 'Export to Text' (.txt) in CR Xi

    Hi,
    I have listed many problems with the 'Export to Text' (.txt) function of CR Xi.
    These problems are related to this export format only (meaning everything works fine in the Viewer or in the 'Export to PDF')...
    - Multi-columns layout do not export as Multi-column (export only a one column);
    - Numeric values with parenthesis for negative values or with a fix currency sign at the leftmost position are not exported correctly;
    - Fields having a Suppress formula which is "WhilePrintingRecords" do not appears when exported;
    - Fields with 'Suppress double value' checked are not always suppressed when exported to Text.
    - 'Keep Group Together' flag is not working.
    - 'Reset Page Number After' simply does not works when exported to text;
    - 'Keep object together' on TextBox/Section is not working.
    - Whenever a group is ending on the last line of a page, the the following page as the same Group header as the previous group with no records until the page is filled, then the PageBreak and PageHeader is missing but the records of the following group appears.
    I would like to know what is the status of the 'Export to Text' function (is it a deprecated function not supported anymore???).
    If still supported, when will these bugs be fixed???
    Thanks

    Hi Rene
    Export to Text is supported till date. Crystal Reports 2008 also supports this with Keep together working however when I tried with format with multiple columns, it didnot show up in the exported text file.

  • Problem with columns in the middle of my book

    I am writing my second book with Pages 2.02 and have run into a problem with columns. I want to add a long list of items as a list with check boxes for readers to check off. If I paste in enough text for three or four pages of two columns it gets messed up in various ways - the text flows into the following text if I don't use section breaks at the end instead of layout breaks, if I use section breaks it solves that one, but if I add anything to the list it changes all the columns across the pages so that one or several of the pages has way less in the right column than in the left. So far the left column fills the entire page all the time, but the right column has lots of spaces. If I switch back and forth from one column to two, it fixes it. If I add text before the list section it messes everything up again and because there is a section break I end up with a little bit of text on the last page and a huge gap before the single column part that follows.
    Does anyone know how to get reliable results that will not mess me up when adding content before the list or in the list itself?

    Hi Cymru,
    Thank you for thinking about my problems. I guess I s half asleep when I posted and it didn't make sense.
    I have so far 77 pages of the book divided into several chapters via section breaks. Inside the 5th section there is almost two pages of paragraphs. Those paragraphs could become 3.75 pages or who knows how long before the list of items. The list of items is 226 items separated by carriage returns and go from one word with 5 characters to 7 words and 34 characters. It needs to be a list with check boxes before them so that the user can check off the items that apply. It is a workbook about turning bipolar into an advantage and is currently 8.5 x 11 and printed on my laser printer for now, but when completed will be more like 8 x 10, so it needs to resize without major hassles.
    I have tried every combination of breaks to get the list to flow in two columns, but perhaps have not done the correct combination. I show invisibles and layout. At the end of my paragraphs I do a paragraph return. I then do either a section break or a layout break, followed by a paragraph return and another layout or section break. I then put my curser before the paragraph break, but after the first section/paragraph break, and set columns to 2, evenly divided by default with 3.2026" columns and .3375" gutter, but I want them to change with page size in the future.
    Once set up, I copy the text out of BBEdit and paste into the left column. It takes up several pages because it is formatted to do double spaces, so I use one of my styles to make it bold and single spaces. I then apply list style with image bullets and one of the default box images that came with Pages. There are 5 items in each column on the first page because it is close to the bottom, but flows into the next two pages. (with text edits it might end up 20 items in each column on the first page) The second page has 39 items in each column and the last page has 8 items in the left column only, but if with section breaks take up the whole page and the next paragraphs start on the next page. If I then add items to the list, every page gets messed up and the second page ends up with 39 on the left column and less items in the right column for each added item.
    If I use layout breaks instead of section breaks, the paragraphs following my lists (now with only one column) end up under the list. What that means is I can see my bold items, but beneath them are my paragraphs that belong after the list. I can see the layout break at the end of the list, but the columns that are shown as part of the 'view layout' are visible right over the single column text also for the rest of the page. The only way to solve that is to go with section breaks and put up with the gap from the end of the list to the following paragraphs.
    I hope this makes more sense.

  • Problem with column selection in GUI_DOWLOAD

    Hi everyone !
    I want to save data from an internal table to a DAT file using GUI_DOWLOAD. In this internal table, there are 2 colums that won't be downloaded so I call the FM this way :
        CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
             EXPORTING
                  FILENAME                = L_FILE
                  FILETYPE                = 'DAT'
                  COL_SELECT              = 'X'
                  COL_SELECT_MASK          = V_COLSELECT
             TABLES
                  DATA_TAB                = TAB_OUT
                  FIELDNAMES              = TAB_FIELDNAMES.
    V_COLSELECT contains an 'X' for each column I need to be downloaded and a space for the 2 other columns.
    In the result file, the columns that I didn't select don't appear BUT there are 2 columns with no header and filled with zeros at the right edge of the file. I don't know where these 2 columns come from. Maybe a problem with fieldnames but I'm not sure (in TAB_OUT, all columns are present but in TAB_FIELDNAMES there are only headers for the selected columns).
    If anybody have an idea, please just tell me.
    Points will be rewarded for helpful answers.
    Thanks.
    Nicolas.

    Hi,
    Try to keep fields same in TAB_FIELDNAMES and TAB_OUT. because anyway you are using COL_SELECT_MASK.
    I think you are using COL_SELECT_MASK properly ie
    if you have 6 field in the TAB_OUT out of that you need to donwload 1,3,6 then your
    COL_SELECT_MASK will be X X  X

  • Problem with column heading sorting

    I have a problem with a classic report.
    I created a simple report. We want to sort the report, when we click the column heading. But when we cklick on the column heading, nothing happens. In firefox we get the error "apex.jQuery.datepicker is undefined".
    When we created another simple report and connect against another database (but the same web-server), we can sort the report, when we cklick a column heading. On both databases we installed the same apex version (=4.0.1.00.03).
    on "apex.oracle.com" (workspace:ama / user:demo / pwd:demo) I created an example.
    what is wrong?? Can anyone help me ??
    Thanks
    Robert

    Hi Jari,
    yes, you are right. I changed my query. I attempted to find a solution and so I changed the query several times => I used other tables, with or without date columns, with or without columns in the select and so on.
    You said, the problem is the authentication scheme. It crossed my mind that I do another change:
    during the creation of my application apex created a login page => page 101. For my example application I don't need a login page, and so I droped the page. After starting the application I saw the error message "page 101 not found ". So I searched for a property where apex definies the "start page" respectively "login page". But I don't found anything. Then I looked into the export file and searched for "101". I found the package procedure "wwv_flow_api.create_auth_setup" and the parameter "p_invalid_session_page", which receive the value "101". In apex the property "Session Not Valid Page" was blank. So I inserted the page number "1" (=the first and sole page in my application).
    After the explained changes I could start my report.
    I don't know, whether these informations help to find the problem!

  • Problem with PDF export and embedded font (characters disappear)

    Designer: Crystal Reports 2008 SP 2
    Engine: CR4E 2.0 SP2 (runtime_12.2.203)
    Hi there!
    we found a problem in the pdf export. It seems like there would be a problem with the embedded fonts, the problem is as follows:
    Rpt file with, for example only a text box which contains the german string " Änderungs Schlüssel ".
    Export the Rpt file with CR4E to a pdf file.
    When we open the pdf file in Adope Reader 8, the text appears to be correct,
    but if we print the PDF file from the Adope Reader, the text changes to " nderungs Schl sselu201C,
    here we are missing ther german umlaute.
    When we open the file for example with an alternative PDF reader like Foxit Reader, there they are also missing.
    After i found some posts here in the forum, there are people facing the same problem, since i couldn't find a solution in the forum, we build a little workaround for it that works for us.
    For all of you that have the same problem here the workaround:
    We used the IText JAVA library, this jar can can help as to fix the PDF file so the text is displayed correctly.
    Here the code:
    ReportClientDocument doc = new ReportClientDocument();
    doc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
    doc.open("C:\XY.rpt", OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
    //... database logon,.....
    InputStream inputStream = doc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
    inputStream = PDFHealer.heal(inputStream);
    //... write the stream some where

    The helper class using IText:
    import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
    import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.InputStream;
    import com.lowagie.text.Document;
    import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;
    import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfContentByte;
    import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfImportedPage;
    import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader;
    import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
    public class PDFHealer
       public static InputStream heal(InputStream in) throws DocumentException, IOException
          try
             ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
             PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(in);
             // we retrieve the total number of pages
             int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
             // step 1: creation of a document-object
             Document document = new Document();
             // step 2: we create a writer that listens to the document
             PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, out);
             // step 3: we open the document
             document.open();
             // step 4: we add content
             PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
             int i = 0;
             while( i < n )
                document.newPage();
                i++;
                PdfImportedPage page1 = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i);
                cb.addTemplate(page1, 0, 0);
             // step 5: we close the document
             document.close();
             ByteArrayInputStream ret = new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray());
             out.close();
             return ret;
          finally

  • Indesign CS5 - Problems with PDF-Export

    Hello community,
    we do have a problem with Indesign CS5 and exporting data into PDF. It is about that logo on that white surface, which doesnt come along with the rest after the pdf-export. What we did was: We created that white surface in Indesign itself, put an effect on it with the Indesign effect gallery and then imported the logo in the surface ... the logo itself is .psd data. So, if we export it into pdf like that, it is just dissapeared. Does anyone have had a similar problem and what can be done about it?
    By the way ... if you put, for example, a simple backgroundshadow on a picture ... done also with the Indesign effect gallery, then you get just a white surface instead of the shadow, after the export into pdf. It does maybe correlate with the other problem ... not sure. Any suggestions?
    Thank you very much for your help and kind regards ...

    I would create the entire logo, including the white background, in Illustrator, save as PDF and place that in ID.

  • Apache FOP Problem with column width

    We are using Apache FOP to generate simple pdf documents out of reports.
    My problem is that the table in the pdf is as standard filled in with columns of same length.
    Further on the content of some table fields is to large or sometimes there is to much room.
    is there any possiblity to let fop react like html?
    The smallest table field size should be like the content. I don't want to adjust all my reports, cause there are really many reports with pdf printing.
    anyone an idea how to solve this with FOP?
    i have no BI pubisher or other reporting engines for this problem
    thx so far

    Oliver,
    I think what you're looking for is having your column width automatically adjusted based on the content of your column values. That is not possible with the built-in, generic XSL-FO template. What you can do is manually adjusting the column width to appropriate values on the print attributes page.

    Zaheer,
    <output_dir> - (Required) Output directory where the exported xml file structure is to be stored. You may set this to any directory, however, we recommend that you export your packages or XML files to $APPL_TOP/personalizations.
    If you run the export tool for the package
    /oracle/apps/ak/dem/webui/customizations/site/0/REQORDERSTATUSPAGE and specify -rootdir
    $APPL_TOP/personalizations, the xml file is saved as
    $APPL_TOP/personalizations/oracle/apps/ak/dem/webui/customizations/site/0/REQORDERSTATUS PAGE.xml.
    In your case define rootdir as rootdir "/oracle/apps/ego/item/eu/webui ".
    Thanks

  • SSRS 2012 problem with excel export

    Hello
    I updated SSRS 2005 up to SSRS 2012. When I exported report in excel (xlsx)  I got following warning :
    "We found a problem with some conent in 'filnename.xlsx'.Do you want to try to recover as much as we can? if you trust the source of this workbook,click yes"
    After Pressing Yes Button
    "REpaired Recors: Cell information from .xl.worksheets.sheet1.xml port"
    15
    0.00000000000000000000 this is in string format instead decimal
    2
    0.00000000000000000000
    This heppens if i have decimal(38.20) variable in table and record value is 0.
    To avoid this problem i must change report and use this expression
    =IIF(Fields!SomeValue.Value = 0, 0, Fields! SomeValue.Value)
    for value in report, but this is not sulution for me because we have more then hundred reports.
    Is any other solution?

    Hi LashaGurgenidze,
    The issue seems to be related to the Excel 2010 or the Excel 2007-2010 rendering extension in SSRS 2012. If possible, I suggest that you keep the Office 2010 and the SQL Server 2012 up to date, and check the issue again.
    In order to solve the issue, we can enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension in SSRS 2012, and use this render when exporting to Excel. We can modify the EXCEL render extension in the rsreportserver.config file as follows:
    <Extension Name="EXCEL" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ExcelRenderer.ExcelRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ExcelRendering"/>
    Then, the Excel 2003 render extension will be available in the Export drop-down list.
    By default, the file is located in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer. Before we modify it please backup the rsreportserver.config file.

  • IPhoto problem with email, export, editing...

    Had my iMac upgraded with a new harddrive and Lion at my authorized retailer & service center. All has been good but did not use iPhoto much after the upgrade, but all seemed to be good.
    Recently photographed a family occasion and now I experience the following problems;
    1. After successful import I edit the pictures which leads to numerous crashes, seemingly randomly, but most frequently when jumping from editing one picture to the next.
    2. Share, Email does not work, only a few of the selected pictures are sent, sometimes with a low resolution thumbnail instead of the desired picture. The selection process works normally, but when the mail has been formatted only a few or none picture are inserted, in any of the templates, including classic. The number of selcted photos and their size are reported normal, they just don't show up in the mail itself
    3. Resorting to export to a folder, all of the pictures are exported, however not always with intact changes/edits???
    I have previously never had any major problems with iPhoto up until this version, and am seriously considering ditching it after all the wasted time.
    Any suggestions how to attack this problem in iPhoto 11 & 10.7 Lion?  (I am unable to find any plist etc like in 10.6 and earlier)
    Thanks for any hints and/or tips...

    Hi Larry,
    thanks for your quick reply...
    The harddrive and all user data was transferred by the authorized service center. I able to see and use all the old pictures, so I think (and hope) my pictures were correctly transferred.
    After reading this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3087683?start=45&tstart=0
    and done minor edits to ALL the NEW (of today) pictures I want, it seems to file, export correctly. I did some additional minor adjustments (exposure, saturation, sharpness, etc) and behold, the export worked ok, including edits like crops, straightenings, etc, that were omitted without the "adjustments"...
    It feels like some proper bugs to me, and will probably look for another more robust and flexible software to do my edits...
    Recommendations?
    Using Picasa sometimes, but read somewhere they use a hack to get to the iPhoto pictures & database, not sure I like that... Maybe I should go Aperture...???

  • Problem with columns length under Firefox

    I have a problem with Firefox. Possibly, someone could help?
    If you look at the following page www.tregor.fr using IE or
    Netscape, there is no problem.
    If you use Firefox, you will see that the display of the
    bottom page is not correct. The middle column is longer than the
    left and the right columns.
    So the bottom block is not correctly sticked to the middle
    block (the body background color appears at the bottom of the first
    and third columns).
    As I analyses, I saw that, under FireFox, the text in the
    middle column seems to start a little lower than under IE or
    Netscape. This may explain why the middle column is longer.
    But I have no mean to avoid this.
    Does anyone has experienced such a problem?
    Regards.

  • Problems with Importing / Exporting Keywords and Meta Datas

    Hi to all!
    I recently upgraded to Aperture 3 and upgraded my referenced library.
    Today I opened the Keyword HUD and noticed some keywords splattered in my list, which seem to be any older ones, since the new numbering indicated that they are not applied to any pictures.
    So I deleted them.
    Than I noticed the <Imported Keywords> folder, opened it, and it contained also a large number of previous keywords. Also they seemed not to be in use, so I also removed them.
    Than I locked the Keyword HUD.
    Now my question: If I export a version, with the option for 'include metadata' ticked, and edit the version than in Photoshop, and after it, import it back into the Aperture library I do have the problem.
    I have tried 'Import Meta Datas' and and click 'Append'. Than it is recognizing the former keywords, which I would appreciate, but not as 'Imported Keywords'.
    If I would open the file w/ the External Editor and return it back, I guess I would not have this problem. Usually I do open the referenced RAW file, and import than the edited version back into Aperture. Keywords are stored in the Library, so I would not avail the former given keywords than, is that right?
    By the way are the keywords part of Meta Datas or not?
    Are there any workarounds?
    And had other people also problems with their keyword list after upgrading?
    Thank for any ideas / infos!

    Hi Marc,
    I am trying to use this simple check box to update records in a tabular form that is created through tabular form wizard.
    Now as what you said I included one more column in the tabular form sql query for my check box column.
    Lets say, if my table column name is sent_msg_ind then I have this included as below
    select sent_msg_ind, --hidden
             sent_msg_ind as sent_msg_ind_no_submit --simple check box
    from table_x;Now how to propogate the value of simple check box(1 - checked and 0 - unchecked) value into hidden field.
    I am using this tabular form to just update the records based on what is being fetched using the primary key from the previous page.
    Any example or demo would be highly appreciated here.
    Thanks,
    Teku

  • Problem with Column types and String

    Hi
    I have some problem while comparing against empty string.
    My column is of type it_Linked_Button. Actually it seems that column type doesn't matter.
    If cell that belongs to this column is empty and based on other columns' values I put some value into this cell.
    It works fine.
    But when I clear that cell and try to put some value again nothing happens.
    In my if statement I'm checking against empty string and it fails second time.
    Before I put anything in that cell (in debugger) that value is "" so it is empty and it works.
    (OK, I see that after I posted this message it was slightly reformated)
    But after I put something and clear that cell and try to put something again (in debugger) I get "(here is some long space) " which fails String.IsNullOrEmpty(var) test.
    What is going on? Has it something to do with Column type?
    How to clear it so I can put something in it again?
    One more thing - to put values and clear it I use DbDataSource SetValue method. And String.Empty or ""(doesn't matter)
    Thanks
    Kamil
    NOTE
    I made some workaround that gives me the behaviour I want but still I would like to know what is going on?

Put the target strings in a collection, write a loop to find the match in the collection and use the matching index in the switch statement. At least that will get rid of the hashcode kludge, where it won't mistakenly 'match' a string which isn't the actual target.3b: Map<String, Command>Yep.
    I also wanted to point this out to the OP:
    For example, let's say the 7 character string "BugABoo" happens to have the same hashcode as "EDI_DOC". And let's say your input just happens to have the string "BugABoo" in it, where you're extracting the 7 character substring. See the problem? You're getting "BugABoo" but treating it as if it really were "EDI_DOC", by virtue of comparing hashcodes instead of actual strings.
    OOPS!
