Report printing escape codes

Hi,
My report comes out with escape codes printed.When I print to file it shows that the escape codes are interpreted correctly BUT they still come out as printable characters when I send to printer. Funny thing is when I output to file then print it using DOS (copy the file to printer port) my report comes out ok with the printer codes interpreted! What could be wrong? sb pls help urgently! I am using reports 6i on WIN2000 platform.

You need to set the printer to spool the raw data (and not try and be clever and interpret the escape characters, which is what's happening now). To do this on Windows 2000:
* Click Start , point to Settings , and then click Printers .
* Right-click the printer that you want to use and click Properties .
* On the Advanced tab, click Print Processor .
* Click Raw in the Default data type box.
* Click OK to confirm changes.
* On the Advanced tab, clear the Enable advanced printing features option.
* Click OK to confirm changes.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Escape codes for laser printer Kyocera FS-3920dn in reports 6i

Hi,
I use many reports for printing on laser printer Kyocera FS-3920DN. But now I need print some reports on special performed paper. For this we added 1 paper tray to printer ( Now we have 2 trays in printer ). How can I define for new reports which tray have to use ??? I wish to specified for report2.rep to use automaticly tray 2. Its a way through PRT file use escape codes ?? Have you any experience pls??

In the report itself you can use:
SRW.SET_PRINTER_TRAY('tray');
see the online help.
We do it differently, though. Our printers have 2 trays, one with blank paper and one with pre-printed logo paper.
On each PC there are two printers defined (PRINTER_BLANk and PRINTER_LOGO). They point to the same printer, just a different tray.

Print Bar code for inspection report

Dear all,
I have a requirement for printing bar code in the inspection report. Normally, we use QGA3 print inspection report which based on the script form. Now as I would like to add bar code, as I know, I have to use smart form to realize. but it can just enter Form in the standard way. So could anyone give me some useful suggestion to realize this requirement?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Benny.

Hi,
Identify corresponding form.In the character format we have to define the bar code and assign that one infornt of which we need the bar code.
eg:
SE71 screen if you go the character
there below you will get the bar code
specify one character for that bar code and
in place of which u want to print place it.
for eg u have character specified as bb,
and in place of Inspection lot (w_lot) you want to have bar code
the just type.
<bb>w_lot</>, this will print the bar code for instead of inspection lot

Transaction Journal Report - Print Layout Design

Hi all
Is it possible to add Journal Entry Project Codes to this Transaction Journal Report (Print Layout Design)?
I tried to add Journal Entry Project Codes to this system PLD but the result still not showing any Project Code.
Kedalene

Hi Kedalene Chong
ou don't need a list of variables to use them. Simply go to View -> System Information so whenever you hover around a field with the cursor, in the left bottom corner of the screen you will see the details of that screen along with the variable number if it is a variable.
So you will see something like:
[Form=139 Item=29 Pane=0 Variable=91]
-> in this case the variable number is 91 - use it in Print Layout Designer.
So you can just use the variable specified in these details. When creating the print layout, just go back to your form, stand on a field with your mouse and you will see what variable to use.
Also Check with the PLD Variables Note No 867048...

PDF report with bar code

Hello.
I am creating a PDF report using the Oracle Reports 6i running on Oracle Concurrent Manager.
The PDF report has a bar code.
The report finish with success but it is visualized without the bar code.
Into the output report the bar code name is small font (mw6code39mt) always.
I can visualize the output report when I manually alter the bar code name from small font to large font (MW6 Code39MT) only. I do it in my Unix server using the text editor.
The bar code name installed in my PC is large font (MW6 Code39MT)
I am experiencing problem when visualizing or printing the output report.
Has somebody experience about it or some idea about how can I to configure the Unix server or Oracle to solve the problem?
Thank you.
Edson

Hi Julie,
Sorry my english.
I will try to explain in more details the problem.
I have identified that the bar code name into the PDF output is lowercase (mw6code39mt).
I only visualize or print the PDF output with the bar code when I manually alter that bar code name from lowercase to uppercase (MW6Code39MT).
I do that in my Unix server using the vi editor.
Please, see what I need to alter in the PDF output file on Unix server:
<</Type /Font
/Name /F1
/Subtype /Type1
/Encoding /WinAnsiEncoding
/BaseFont /mw6code39mt ====> alter to MW6Code39MT
/FirstChar 24
/LastChar 255
/Widths 9 0 R
/FontDescriptor 10 0 R
>>
endobj
Thank you.

Crystal Report print to PCL file needs to contain searchable text

Hi,
I am using VS(2005) and Crystal Report XI R2 .net Service pack 4. I need to be able to create a pcl file that contains text information on the first page that needs to be parsed and read by another application. However, I am not able to use a generic/text only pcl driver to do this because the remainder of the report (page 2 on) needs to contain lines and table borders as if it were printed to paper from the printer. The report/print to file driver I have configured will produce a pcl file that meets my requirements when I print from Crystal XI R2 but when I use either the .Net view or I print directly form code all of the text in the pcl file is contained in an image.
Any suggestions on ways I can resolve this issue are greatly appreciated.
Greg

The CR.NET uses the .NET Framework print service for sending the output to the printer itself, where the page is sent as an image. There's no way to alter this behavior within CR.NET.
This is problematic for your task, as well as for tasks that rely embedded fonts or text strings (such as phone dialers, faxes, printer fonts, etc).
Whatever you do, you'd have to do outside of CR.NET
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Crystal Report Print Error

Hi I am having the strange issue.
When my application is running as windows service, the RAS engine is not printing the report.
I am getting the below error.

Draft mode report printing

Pl. help us, urgent....
We are developing report in Dev 2000 Reports Builder 3.0.4.6.3 on Windows 98 node.
Our client's requirement is to print the reports on High Speed Dot Matrix Printer at every
workstation place in Draft 10 Cpi font.
I have tried setting Font of all layout components with (Draft 10 Cpi, Regular, 10). The result I have got on Wipro LQ 1050+ Dot Matrix printer is -- it is printing in draft mode but the printer head was tremendously twisting especially while printing the digits.
Later I have tried with setting MODE=character DESTYPE=PREVIEW. The output of preview geting trailed for each line and words. The same result is coming wile printing at this setting.
What should be right way of designing the layout of the reports and setting the required
preferences/properties, to achieve that.
This is very urgent, pl. reply as soon as possible. We are expecting yours
valuable suggestion.
Regards,

Just a first point, Reports 3.0 has been desupported, so you may want to look to upgrade.
That said, it sounds to me like you just need character mode output. The first thing that I would do would be to run to file with mode=character set, then send this file directly to the printer to see if you get the same results.
If you do then you should take a look at the documentation on prt files, and your printer manual to make sure that the prt file you're using includes the correct printer escape sequences to set the printer up in the way you require (the right font, etc.) Note that this won't work for bitmapped reports.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Please help about Report Printer and PS tables-objects . ..

Hi everybody
I'm in trouble. I have a requirement in PS módule related with reports created by the Report Printer tool. I don't have any idea about these topics.
My requirement is to create a report (not with Report Printer) with the structure for projects, with all the structure Project-WBS-Network-Activity and with some values like Budget, Commit, Actual, Paid, etc.
The functional consultant only tells me about some reports created with Report Printer wich have the columns required, some report has the Budget, other one has the Commit, etc. For example, one report is the tcode S_ALR_87013532; i don't know if this transaction exists in all the SAP implementations or if it was created only for my company.
These reports only show two levels (Project-Network) so i i have to investigate:
1. How to get all the structure levels (project-WBS-network-activity)
2. How to 'translate' in code some value showed in a report created with Report Printer, i guess these values are created with formules and objects.
3. How to get the same values showed in these reports, but for the Networks and Activities.
I do not know anything about PS module and Report Printer and i really don't have any idea about how to make my development.
4. I think the functional consultant could be able to create the report himself with the Report Printer, but he tells me he does not manage this tool so good and he wants to send SAP mails with the reports, and he say the reports created with Report Printer can not send mails. Is this true ? and then, would be easier for me to learn Report Printer and create the report myself instead to develop it ?
Does somebody can help me ? Any idea ?
Please help !! I don't know even how to start with this.
Thanks in advance ..
