Report in text format

I have a report need to send (output) in text format thru form 6i , please help

Hi,
Try adding there parameters when calling the report. (To view the report, the DESTYPE parameter will be SCREEN
     ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'DESTYPE', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'FILE');
     ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'DESFORMAT', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'DELIMITED');
-- If you didn't mention the DESNAME parameter, then the output will be generated in the application folder named report_name.lis
     ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'DESNAME', TEXT_PARAMETER, '<file_path>');Regards,
Manu.

How do I generate a report in text format

How do I generate a report in text format and send it to both a file and to a printer?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I run a series of tests on multiple stations and I need to generate a report, both electronic and one to be printed for a DHR (device history record), for each station. If I use file i/o as you suggested is the preferred approach to generate an electronic file and make the report from that, or generate both the electronic and hard copy report from arrays as the measurement data is acquired. Note that the electronic data is more detailed than the data in the hardcopy report.

How are you viewing your layout in report editor? Are you viewing with Grid?
If it is Yes and with grid, try to fit your layout objects within the Grid.

SSRS reports in text format

hi
how can i save a report in text format using ssrs 2008 R2

Hi Gourav,
By default, SQL Server Reporting Services render a report to .CSV File Extension with CSV rendering extension. While device information settings for the CSV rendering extension allow us to change its format from .csv to .txt format, we can modify FileExtension
setting in the RSReportserver.config file as below:
Please navigate to RSReportserver.config file: <drive:>\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\RSReportserver.config.
Backup the RSReportserver.config file before we modify it, open the RSReportserver.config file with Notepad format.
In the <Render> section, modify the code for the CSV extension like this:
<Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
   <OverrideNames>
        <Name Language="en-US">TXT (Pipe Delimited Text File)</Name>
    </OverrideNames>
    <Configuration>
        <DeviceInfo>
            <FileExtension>TXT</FileExtension>
        </DeviceInfo>
    </Configuration>
</Extension>
Save the RSReportserver.config file.
For more information about CSV Device Information Settings, please see:

Unable to add special characters such as # and ( in headers of Report in Text format

Hi,
I am working on developing a report that will be exported to tab delimited text format from SSRS. The Report has been developed and it is getting exported to tab delimited text format. However, special characters in the heading are getting trimmed. I would
like to get these special characters in the heading of text file. Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Hi Abhijit,
Per my understanding that you have add an extension which export the report as .txt format, now the issue is the special characters"#" not display after exportted, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue , this is by default, when you type some special characters "#" as the textbox name in the properties window or as calculatted field name you will get error pop up window,
if you type the text in the textbox as "#" it will also not display in the CSV or tab delimited text format report.
But we have some alternative method to make them display some way, more details information below for your reference:
Display "#" in the table header
If we want to make them display in the table header, we need to create an new table an put all the table header as one record in the table, because the value in the table can display "#" correctly：
I assumed you have four columns as the table header(Test1#,Test2#,Test3#,Test4#) please create an new table (HeaderTable )to store these value:
Create two dataset2:
Dataset1: display the record from step1
DataSet2：display the record of the report
Create two Tablixs as below and both remove the header column, Tablix1(Dataset1) diplay the value comes from the step1 as the new header column:
Tablix1(Dataset2):Report Data
In this way, when export to tab delimited txt, you will got the table header display correctly.
Display "#" in the textbox outisde of the tablix
If you just want to display "#" outside the tablix, you can just add an calculatted field(Test) and use expression like below to specify the value which you want to display in the calculatted field:
="test######test"
Then you can use below expression in the textbox:
=first(Fields!Test.Value, "DataSetName")
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

XML Report in text format

Hi,
Can any one help how to create a XML report so that i should be saved in text format OR is there any way where when you click on view output a dialog box with open, save and cancel option appears so that i can save the output in required format.
Thanks,
Dinesh..

Hi Dinesh,
Can any one help how to create a XML report so that i should be saved in text format
While defining the respective concurrent program set the output to 'TEXT'. You can do this by:
Sysadmin > Concurrent > Program > Define ; and the select or define the program that you want the output to as TEXT
In the OUTPUT field ensure to have the type as 'TEXT'.
is there any way where when you click on view output a dialog box with open, save and cancel option appears so that i can save the output in required format.
Alternative to the above, while submitting the request after selecting your desired concurrent request , click on Option and change the output type.
Hope this Helps!

Report in text format show break page !!

when i generate a report in char mode, in a text file, it show a break page between the head section and the principal section. there is any way to delete this break page (a line command or properties ( i specify a desformat no_ff)).
thanks.

To get a output data to a text file that contains no form feeds ( page breaks ), or other control characters in the output), do followings:
Modify the printer definition file to eliminate form feeds
a. Invoke a text editor and open the file dflt.prt.
b. Move to the following line:
after pages control(L)
Remove "control(L)" so the line appears as shown
below:
after pages
Removing the control sequence from the printer definition file will keep the output from breaking between pages when the report is formatted.
Thanks

Crystal report : Export to Text format from BI Launch pad

Hi,
We are facing issue in exporting the Crystal report to text format option from BI Launch pad view mode. Currently BI launch pad doesn’t support export to Text format option for crystal report in view mode. But export to text format option is feasible in schedule mode. But customer is not interested in exporting the reports through schedule mode.
Please advise, if we have any alternative way of exporting the crystal report to text format option from BI Launch pad.

How to burst reports in text and XML format using API

Hi there,
I need to be able to burst PDF, Excel etc reports and at the same time, generate XML files containing metadata that will accompany the PDF files to their destination. The reason for this, is that the destination requires metadata to class the documents in the content management system.
My issue is that I just cannot get bursting to XML, text or HTML format right. There is very little documentation available around creating reports in these formats using the API's and perhaps someone who has gotten this right can, once and for all, solve this issue where others can find the solution.
Alright, here is some sample supporting documentation (For the sake of the question, I have removed the bursting to PDF, Excel etc. formats and I am just focusing on the XML output):
In my code for bursting, I make use of the following constructor...
DocumentProcessor dp =
new DocumentProcessor("ControlFile.xml", "TestData.xml", "temp");
The ControlFile.xml looks like this...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xapi:requestset xmlns:xapi="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xapi">
_<xapi:request select="/DATA/LIST_BRANCH/BRANCH">
___<xapi:delivery>
______<xapi:filesystem id="dst" output="C:\${BRANCH_NAME}.xml"/>
___</xapi:delivery>
___<xapi:document output-type="text" delivery="dst">
______<xapi:template type="xsl-fo" location="Template.xsl"></xapi:template>
___</xapi:document>
_</xapi:request>
</xapi:requestset>
The data in my TestData.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DATA>
___<LIST_BRANCH>
______<BRANCH>
__________<BRANCH_NAME>BRANCH 1</BRANCH_NAME>
______________ OTHER IRRELEVANT DATA
______</BRANCH>
______<BRANCH>
__________<BRANCH_NAME>BRANCH 2</BRANCH_NAME>
______________ OTHER IRRELEVANT DATA
______</BRANCH>
___</LIST_BRANCH>
</DATA>
In my ControlFile.xml, I reference my XSL file called Template.xsl which should do my transformations into XML. That file looks like:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
__<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes">
__<xsl:template match="/">
____<METADATA>
_______<BRANCH>
___________<xsl:value-of select="BRANCH_NAME"/>
_______</BRANCH>
____</METADATA>
__</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I have tried about forty variations of the ControlFile.xml and Template.xsl and have had no luck. Among the various error messages that the compiler has reported to me, these are the most common:
[101507_055953158][][EXCEPTION] Error while generating the Document...
[101507_055953158][][EXCEPTION] org.xml.sax.SAXException: element metadata is not supported yet.
[101507_061037084][][EXCEPTION] Error while generating the Document...
[101507_061037094][][EXCEPTION] oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Start of root element expected.
I have managed in some cases to get the API code to compile, but the outputs are empty 0kb files.
I have also exported an XSL-FO file from word, but the output is always PDF even with tweaking.
I have wasted about 9 hours on this problem and it is driving me mad! If anyone has ideas, tips and/or solutions, they would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

How to save report in text (.txt) format using SSRS

Hello
I am using some .rdl file to generate reports and this is using SSRS. But only thing I did that I have changed the configuration file in C drive as below :
Here
Collapse | Copy Code
<Extension Name="TXT" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.CsvRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.CsvRendering">
<OverrideNames>
<Name Language="en-US">TXT (Pipe Delimited Text File)</Name>
</OverrideNames>
<Configuration>
<DeviceInfo>
<FieldDelimiter>|</FieldDelimiter>
<Extension>TXT</Extension>
<Encoding>ASCII</Encoding>
<NoHeader>true</NoHeader>
</DeviceInfo>
</Configuration>
</Extension>
The TXT is added to the drop down . But when I am saving the report it is not saving in .txt format. It is taking .CSV format. Kindly help to save report in txt format.

Hi Chat89,
By design, SQL Server Reporting Services render a report to CSV (text) format with a comma (,) as FieldDelimiter in .CSV FileExtension. So if we want to display Pipe FieldDelimiter in .txt format, we can modify those setting in the RSReportserver.config
file as below:
Please navigate to RSReportserver.config file: <drive:>\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer \RSReportserver.config.
Backup the RSReportserver.config file before we modify it, open the RSReportserver.config file with Notepad format.
In the <Render> section, add the new code for the CSV extension like this:
<Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
   <OverrideNames>
        <Name Language="en-US">TXT (Pipe Delimited Text File)</Name>
    </OverrideNames>
    <Configuration>
        <DeviceInfo>
            <FieldDelimiter>|</FieldDelimiter>
            <FileExtension>TXT</FileExtension>
        <NoHeader>true</NoHeader>
        </DeviceInfo>
    </Configuration>
</Extension>
Save the RSReportserver.config file.

Text Format Report to Dot Matrix Printer

Hi,
I would like to know how do I output my reports to dot matrix printer. In this way I need to output the report from Report Server (in text format) and send it to the dot matrix printer.
If I send the report in PDF or JSP format, then the printing process will be slow as PDF or JSP format may contains some graphical objects. The printing process will be faster if the report is in text format.
How do I output the report from the Report Server in text format to the dot matrix printer?
Cheers

How to create reports of rich text format usuing oracle pl/sql - urgent

"Urgent" means one of two things -
1) people are dying, or
2) you have a customer-facing, revenue-producing production system that is down.
(And to get some perspective on the second case, keep the first in mind.)
For the first, you call whatever civil emergency service seems appropriate.
For the second, you open an SR with Oracle - which requires a paid-up support contract. For them to consider your problem "urgent", you will need to demonstrate that your problem falls under item #2. I seriously doubt your problem fits that criteria.
