REP: 3002 & 19200 - Character base report on n-tier application.

Question

Dear friends
We are using ORACLE 8i as database server, IIS as Web server,
Front-end
is -Forms 6i and Reports 6i. We have developed Reports both in
character
and Bitmap as per client's requirement. Bitmap reports are
working fine
in 2- tier as well as in 3- tier application.
Character base reports are working fine in 2-tier application
but in
3-tier it shows “ REP: 3002: ERROR INITIALIZING PRINTER. PLEASE
MAKE
SURE PRINTER IS INSTALLED” We have tried and communicated with
local
ORACLE for quite some time, but the solution is not found till
date. (We
have tried with DESFOMAT and other parameters)
Is there any other way so that we can generate the output in
character
mode from 3-tier (without converting to bitmap) as this is a
specific
requirement of our client. (As within the premises they are
using 2-tier
and from remote place they will be using 3-tier application
through
web.)
Could any one please help us in this matter? Pl. consider this
as a
urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Yu may want to use a dictionary which has a built in hash table for the key.  See code below for starting point
List<string> input = new List<string>() { "abc", "abd", "def", "ghi" };
Dictionary<string, List<string>> dict = input.AsEnumerable()
.GroupBy(x => x.Substring(0,1), y => y)
.ToDictionary(x => x.Key, y => y.ToList());
