Report orientation

Hi everyone,
I'm working on paper report. I want its orientation to be landscape. I have changed the orientation in Page setup, Edit -> prefrences and reports main section properties from portratit to landscape but still I'm getting the output in Portrait.
Please help me to fix this problem.
Thanks.

you have to set system parameter ORIENTATION.
in oracle 10g it is found in data model->system parameters->orientation.
initialy it is set to default eg. it uses the printer driver setings.
you can set it to portrait or landscape and override printer driver setings.
if you print in landscape mode dont forget to change your page height and width in paper layout->main/top/bottom(the one you use) section properties (eg for A4 landscape with = 29.7 and height = 21)

Matrix Reports Orientation!

Hi,
I have the following situation:
Report Orientation: Landscape.
Paper Size: Letter
Report Type: Matrix.
My matrix report fetches 20+ COLUMNS and 80+ ROWS. In this situation, neither all ROWS nor all COLUMNS fit on one page.
What happens is, when the report prints from the 2nd page onwards, the MATRIX ALIGNMENT GOES HORRIBLY OUT OF SEQUENCE.
(Note: U need to try this senario to see the output for visualizing).
Please let me know if i can do anything to correctly print the output data under respective ROW/COLUMN.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Set Report Orientation VI Broken on Mac

I am making a cross platform VI in Labview 7.0. It uses the Set Report Orientation.vi to make the page landscape. The VI works fine on the PC. On the Mac there is a corresponding Set Report Orientation.vi, that does nothing, however the VI comes up with errors (Wire has loose ends) When I try to edit the block diagram to fix it, it asks for a password. Where will I find this password?

Hi Kirk,
This is a known issue with the Set Report Orientation.vi on the Mac. According to notes written by R&D, the VI was not supposed to be included on the palette. The reasons were not indicated, but I have contacted the engineer regarding this issue and will try to get more information for you.
Thanks again for contacting National Instruments and have a great day!

Dynamically report orientation change. possible ?

Hello to everyone
Do anyone know if it is possible to have a report in two different orientation (landscape and portrait) in one shot ?
If yes how can i do to solve the problem ?
thanks bye

If you are running the report using RUN_PRODUCT then it is possible. Create parameter list and add the parameter:
Declare
pl_id PARAMLIST;
Begin
pl_id := create_paramater_list('ornt');
add_parameter(pl_id, 'ORIENTATION', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'LANDSCAPE');
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, REPORT_NAME, SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(pl_id);
pl_id := create_paramater_list('ornt');
add_parameter(pl_id, 'ORIENTATION', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'PORTRAIT');
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, REPORT_NAME, SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(pl_id);
END;
This is just the basic code. Some refinement is needed.

Different Page Orientation in Single Report

i am using Crystal Report XI Release 2.
I am creating a report. First page i want to use Portrait Orientation and all remaining pages should have landscape.
First page is cover letter which should only be in Portrait. I tried making this as sub-report, but when i change subreport's orientation, it changes the main reports orientation.
Thanks For Support...

Hi Sastry
I've just finished rehashing a report that has required a change from Portrait to Landscape, which I havent' been able to do until getting Crystal 2008... Phew!... Or so I thought...
While editing, the print preview shows me exactly what I want to see... seamless transition from Portrait to Landscape pages.
But once I load the report back into my database and generate it, Crystal seems to change its mind about the changing orientations, and completely ignores the call for Landscape from the second page onwards.
Do you have a suggestion to solve this problem?

Report 6i vs 10g

I have migrated from reports 6i to 10g. In reports 6i, we have a report previwer which give exactly as how we design in the report builder and we are able to print as it is.
But in 10g we have different destination format & type. Which is the best format to use.
I have used html, but my reports has line formating etc, which are not appearing in html.
I have tried pdf , format are almost same, but orientation is wrong. My report orientation is landscape. but printing it is going to potrait mode. every time i have to select landscape mode. Where as the same report is correctly printing in 6iver.
Please suggest a best report format.

I don't think there is a "best report format". Id depends on what you want to achieve. Instaed of html you could use htmlcss, this provides html-output with extended layour options. For printing, pdf (in my opinion) is the best format. About your problem with always having to choose the correct orientation, there is an option in pdf-viewer to "always take the best fitting paper", this should solve your issue.

Report Generation (MS Word)

Is there a way to make the target MSWord document have landscape
orientation?

Use "Set Report Orientation.vi" in the Report Layout pallete.

Crystal reports 11: Values displayed in crystal report not showing in VB6

Hi!
I updated an existing lower version of crystal report 7 to crystal report 11. Changes are the following:
1. sql query in VB6 to add fields
2. sql query in crystal report to manipulate values and not use formula. crx11 doesn't allow summary/total in formula fields.
3. report orientation
4. additional fields to view
5. font sizes, length, can grow properties, etc.
When I tested it directly in crx 11, all fields/values are displaying correctly. When I integrated it in VB 6 using Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Library 11.0 and CR Viewer object, the field is blank.
I've tried several checking like field suppressions, conditional suppressions, etc.
By the way, I also have a report using a subrepot with conditional suppressions. Same thing is happening. The subreport data only displays the alloted space but does not show values in VB6.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Thanks for your response.
Before I read your response, I tried tweaking my reports and was able to resolve the issue.
Steps taken to solve the issue are the following:
a. Value not showing one field of four (4) reports.
Solution: I created new ones and integrate it in VB 6. The values are now showing. Tweaked on the line object properties, got a problem with the extended line but solved it by adjusting the height of the detail section.
b. Value not showing in sub-report.
Solution: My report used a shared variable so I can pass the condition to my sub-report. I used the new reports and just pass a query during runtime. The values in the subreport is still not showing. I added a formula and called the value in it. Values in the subreport is now showing.
I'll try to update the crystal reports version as suggested at a later time.

Printer Setup for HTML reports (Landscape)

I'm trying to print an HTML report in Landscape, the Report Orientation VI only works with Standard Reports, and I can't find anything that will let me modify the "Printer Setup"
Anyone done this?

Jeff,
To print an HTML report it first has to be rendered. To render HTML, you need a browser. For example, you can render HTML in either Internet Explorer or Firefox or Opera, and all three might render the same data slightly differently. To simplify the situation let's say that you're using IE. Once IE renders the HTML, you then have to get it to send the rendered output to the printer. So you can see why it isn't time or cost-effective for NI to try and necessarily support these functions. For the end user however, I'd guess that quite a few people have had this problem.
I have had to do a lot of digging around to get HTML reports to print right. My solution has been to use an ActiveX container with an IWebBrowser2 object (Internet Explorer). This will let you load and print HTML reports programatically however (glancing back over some old code) I don't see immediately how you can print a report in Landscape. With an ActiveX container however you can call the IE print preview function which will let you (the user) modify the report printing to Landscape. It's not a programmatic solution since you have to interact with the GUI but it works. Also, once you set the setting to Landscape, everything printed afterwards using your ActiveX container will also print in Landscape.
Something else which may not apply to you (but maybe--I'll at least mention it) is printing a landscape single image... that's usually why I needed to print landscape... to print out a full page screenshot of a graph or something. I do this in portrait mode by just attaching the control image but rotating it first and adding the HTML code to make it 100% of the vertical page.
Last but not least, if you are 100% set on using a programmatic implementation to print a landscaped report (no user interaction), the best thing to do would be to build on an ActiveX implementation so that your report is being loaded and printed from an embedded IWebBrowser2 object. With the IWebBrowser2 object there is an option for using a pre-defined print template. This option is NOT for the faint of heart and requires you basically to re-program the whole IE print-preview functionality. However, it's not impossible either, it just takes the time of learning basically how the IE print preview interface works and then adapting it to your application (in this case, landscaped printouts). This is also the ONLY way to change HTML report headers and footers. The print preview interface in IE is written entirely in javascript--you can get details on msdn (search for "print preview templates"). However, there isn't really enough info there to do things with any ease. So....
If you get to the point where you get an ActiveX container working and want to fool with the IE print preview javascript templates, let me know. I have extracted the entire template and associated images from the windows DLL it is stored in so I could adapt it and change the headers and footers for my reports and things of that nature.
Now that I mention it, I believe that is the only way also to actually set landscape or portrait--by programmatically changing the printing margins (so it prints 11x8.5 instead of vice versa).
Anyway, hope that helps...

Oracle report-how to change report layout to landscape?

Hi,
I am using Oracle report 6i. I want to change the report layout to Landscape. I had tried to go to 'page setup' and changed to 'landscape', but when I print, I still got portait layout.
Can anyone help me? Thanks.
Jun

Hi,
Easiest method for changing your reports orientation to Landscape is
Go to object navigator->System parameters->Orientation.
Set value of this system parameter as Landscape. Thats all. You also can set this property using srw. features at runtime.

The report is always printed in landscape

We have a VB6 application that uses CR 9 to print reports. When we launch reports to screen, and then to the printer, there is no problem and report orientation is as we design. But if we launch the report directly to a specific printer (Kyocera 250ci KX), the report is printed with landscape orientation. This error doesn't appear with the rest of applications.

When it is printed Landscape, is the page truncated on the bottom? In other words, is the data on the page expecting to be printed in Portrait mode, but is coming out landscape, or are page footers showing on the landscape page?
If the later, then I'm suspecting some setting in the application that is causing the landscape printing, as the page lengths are correct.
If the former, then I'd guess that there's something screwy with the printer itself. (Can you print anything on that printer in Portrait orientation?)
HTH,
Carl

Missing format in Report 10g

After converting the reports 6i to 10g, all the format are missing in the output.
We have horizontal line, vertical line and column header line in all the reports. But in report 10g output displays with out any horizontal or vertical line. This line formats are very important in few reports like purchase order, sale order prints.
I am using RP2RRO library.
Any solution.

I am using HTML.
PDF output displays it correctly but orientation is changed. In the report orientation is Landscape. Even in reports 6i, it was perfect. But in 10g desformat as pdf, the orientation is changed to pdf.

How to Run Batch files from inside Reports.

Hi All,
I have 2 questions.
1) How to change the direction of the reports with Arabic orientation i.e Right to left Change without changing the registry.
2) How to execute a batch file from report or before execution of the report i.e before opening the report.
I want to set few environmental variables before opening the report. How do i achieve this?
Request the forum community to discuss and help me out on this issue.
Thanks in advance

Thanks Inol

Reports printing issue

We have a report which prints fine when it is previewed and printed. But when we run it in batch, it prints portrait instead of landscape. Any known issues around this.
ver: forms 9i, reports 9i
app server: 9ias

Please try using this command line parameter (Also just see what is the default value of the system parameter "orientation" for that particular report)
ORIENTATION=DEFAULT

Difference between reports & modulepool programs

hi experts,
what is module pool programs?
Pls tell me the difference between reports & module pool programs?

hi..
TYPES 1
Type 1 programs have the important characteristic that they do not have to be controlled using user-defined screens. Instead, they are controlled by the runtime environment, which calls a series of processing blocks (and selection screens and lists where necessary) in a fixed sequence. User actions on screens can then trigger further processing blocks.
You can start a type 1 program and the corresponding processor in the runtime environment using the SUBMIT statement in another ABAP program. There are also various ways of starting a type1 program by entering its program name. This is why we refer to type 1 programs as executable programs.
When you run a type 1 program, a series of processors run in a particular order in the runtime environment. The process flow allows the user to enter selection parameters on a selection screen. The data is them selected from the database and processed. Finally, an output list is displayed. At no stage does the programmer have to define his or her own screens. The runtime environment also allows you to work with a logical database. A logical database is a special ABAP program which combines the contents of certain database tables. The flow of a type 1 program is oriented towards reporting, whose main tasks are to read data from the database, process it, and display the results. This is why executable programs (type 1) in the R/3 System are often referred to as reports, and why running an executable program is often called reporting.
Since it is not compulsory to define event blocks, you can yourself determine the events to which your ABAP program should react. Furthermore, you can call your own screens or processing blocks at any time, leaving the prescribed program flow. You can use this, for example, to present data in a table on a dialog screen instead of in a list. The simplest executable program (report) contains only one processing block (START-OF-SELECTION).
Executable programs do not require any user dialog. You can fill the selection screen using a variant and output data directly to the spool system instead of to a list. This makes executable programs (reports) the means of background processing in the R/3 System.
You can also assign a transaction code to an executable program. Users can then start it using the transaction code and not the program name. The reporting-oriented runtime environment is also called when you run a report using a transaction code. This kind of transaction is called a report transaction.
It is appropriate to use executable programs (reports) when the flow of your program corresponds either wholly or in part to the pre-defined flow of the runtime environment. Until Release 4.5A, the only way to use a logical database was to use an executable program. However, from Release 4.5A, it is also possible to call logical databases on their own.
Type M
The most important technical attribute of a type M program is that it can only be controlled using screen flow logic. You must start them using a transaction code, whcih is linked to the program and one of its screens (initial screen). Another feature of these programs is that you must define your own screens in the Screen Painter (although the intial screen can be a selection screen).
When you start a program using a transaction code, the runtime environment starts a processor that calls the initial screen. This then calls a dialog module in the corresponding ABAP program. The remainder of the program flow can take any form. For example, the dialog module can:
return control to the screen, after which, the processing passes to a subsequent screen. Each screen has a following screen, set either statically or dynamically.
call other sequences of screens, selection screens or lists, from which further processing blocks in the ABAP program are started.
call other processing blocks itself, either internally or externally.
call other application programs using CALL TRANSACTION (type M program) or SUBMIT (type 1 program).
ABAP programs with type M contain the dialog modules belonging to the various screens. They are therefore known as module pools. It is appropriate to use module pools when you write dialog-oriented programs using a large number of screens whose flow logic largely determines the program flow.
REGARDS,
VEERESH
