Report Wizard 10g default layout

I have a lot of data columns in my report and want the wizard to generate a default layout 132 columns wide. However the wizard always defaults to only 80 columns and wraps fields and headings to multiple rows. Is there a way to make it default a wide layout so that all fields are on a single row?

In the object navigator, I expanded layout section main and set properties for body section with a wider width of 1200 points(desfault was 512 points) and orientation landscape and then used report wizard to create a default layout and it still defaulted to 80 columns portrait. I also tried character mode with a col size of 132 and it still doesn't work. Has anyone seen report wizard default layout spanning 132 cols or more? I usually get a 80 col default and extend it manuallly to the right.

Reports 3.0 - Default Layout

Can anyone help me with Reports 3.0? I'm changing the Data Model
and want those changes to be reflected on Layout. (in Reports 2.5
this used to be done via Default Layout, it used to display a
Warning and after acceptance it used to change the layout
according to new Data Model). How to do the same in Reports 3.0?
Thanks in advance

The only way I've been able to do this is to go into the layout
editor and from the Edit menu pick 'select all' and delete
everything. Then go into the margin and do the same thing. When
you click the 'run' icon you will get a message that says
'You cannot run without a layout. Would you like to create a
default layout?'. Not pretty but it works, hope this helps.

Default Page Layout in Standard Report Wizard - CRXI

I have Crystal Reports XI. When creating a new report I always want the page layout set to Legal Landscape. Using the Standard Report Wizard always defaults to Letter Portrait. I know how to change the layout once the report is generated, but I can find no way to make my settings the default. I would like the Wizard to default to Legal Landscape. Is there a way to change the default layout?

Hi William,
This needs to be set in printer settings :
Go in Control PanelPrintersright click on default printergo in propertieshere you need to change the default values to Legal Landscape and click on apply and ok.
Now when you create a new report it will take the above format as default.
Thanks,

Atanu dey,
If you wnat to download excel in back ground
You have to download in application server only.
EX:
DATA : v_filepath(80)     VALUE '/data/sapdata/inc/error_log/pme_br/',
c_coma     VALUE ',' .
OPEN DATASET v_filepath FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
     LOOP AT i_errors_bat.
     CONCATENATE i_errors_bat-plant c_coma
                             i_errors_bat-zzvendor c_coma
                       INTO v_string.
        TRANSFER v_string TO v_filepath.
      ENDLOOP.
   CLOSE DATASET v_filepath.
Note : you can download in presentation server also.
but it requires lot of authorizations and have to use
FTP commands.
Reason is Apllication server in back ground has to
recognize the from which system request came.
Better go for OPEN DATA sets.
Don't forget to reward if useful.....

Change the width and height of Landscape Layout for a report in 10G

Hi,
I'm new to reports and when i built the report in report builder 10g, the layout orientation was 'Landscape', hence I assumed that it'll be a landscape layout.
However, the width and height fields of the main section are 11 and 20 respectively. However, the height should ideally be 8.5. When i try to change it I get the following error message :
Layout canvas must remain large enough to fit layout objects.
Could you please tell me how to change the height of this landscape layout to 8.5 from 20.
The report has several main frames within a repeating frame, since the same report has to run multiple times.
Is it possible to have a repeating page across pages (crossing the horizontal margin) and hence have some of the main frames move down to the next page. I'm trying to do this to then be able to reduce the height of the main section of the report to 8.5. Its not working though because I'm getting the following error :
REP 1814 : Report cannot be formatted. Object "vertically" can never fit R_Main (the name of the repeating frame enclosing all objects)
Thanks,
Priyanka

To reduce the Hieght, first make the layout design fit into the new value..

Set Default Layout in Reports in a Single Screen

Hi,
We have a report, with one screen. But is is divided into 2 parts. The upper report is showing different data compared to the data shown in the lower report.
We have used OO to display the output. However, when choosing the default layout for each of the section, since it is contained in a single screen, it will only retrieve one default layout for both report. Is it possible to set a default layout, each for the two sections of the report?
Thanks,
Louisse

Hi
If you're using ALV OO, you can manage several variants in the same report, that means a specific variant for every grid.
It needs to set a different value (for every grid) in the field IS_VARIANT-HANDLE (IS_VARIANT is a parameter of method SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY, structurated like DISVARIANT).
data: lt_varuant1 type disvariant.
data: lt_varuant2 type disvariant.
lt_varuant1-report   = sy-repid.
lt_varuant1-username = sy-uname.
lt_varuant1-handle   = 'ALV1'.
CALL METHOD grid_1->set_table_for_first_display
    EXPORTING
      IS_VARIANT = lt_variant1
lt_varuant2-report   = sy-repid.
lt_varuant2-username = sy-uname.
lt_varuant2-handle   = 'ALV2'.
CALL METHOD grid_2->set_table_for_first_display
    EXPORTING
      IS_VARIANT = lt_variant2

Clarifications about Query Builder and Additional Default Layout in Reports 6i

1) Is Query Builder re-entrant in Reports 6i? If yes, what is the method. As when I tried to re-eter, it gave me message '..... Syntax Error'.
2) IN 'ADDITIONAL Default Layout', Reports 6i does not allow group field to be
included in 'the fields to be printed' list. It allows but in next tab it omits that group field.
As a result no repeating frame for the Group is generated in the 'ADDITIONAL Default Layout'.
What is wrong?
Pl. guide.
Tariq

2) IN 'ADDITIONAL Default Layout', Reports 6i does not allow group
field to be included in 'the fields to be printed' list. It allows
but in next tab it omits that group field.
As a result no repeating frame for the Group is generated in >the 'ADDITIONAL Default Layout'. Not sure I fully understand the question but you seem to be saying that if you select a field in the ADL tool, it doesn't show up in the layout. This can only happen if you select a field in the "Fields" tab from a group you haven't selected in the "Groups" tab.
Ideally Reports shouldn't show these fields since you haven't selected the groups. Unfortunately it does and you need to ensure all the appropriate groups have been selected in the "Groups" tab.
At least it will tell you if you have selected a group but haven't selected any fields for the group or if you haven't selected enough groups for the type of layout you're trying to create.

Pls help me to track post print event in reports 10g (web layout)

I am displaying a report on the web using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT built in after calling it from Forms. I want to update some attribute in the database after the report is printed. Where can i place the update statement.
note:I dont need solution for the reports printed using paper layout.
Thanks in advance.

Mr. Marcos, The problem is After-Report trigger will fire when the report is printed in paper layout. when the same report is printed in web layout the After-Report is not firing. It seem that the update code should be included in the Web-Source tab in Object Navigator but I don't know how to script it.

Can't fit all my report columns in the layout, I had to decrease field sizes to do so

I am developing matrix report with report wizard, which has more
than 10 fields with length as 9.
when I say 'OK' in wizard, I get the error "REP-1108 Cannot fit
default layout even in region extending to page boundaries".
when I decrease the field widths to 4 from 9, I can hit ok
without getting that error.
I need to fit everything with full length of 9.
please help me.
thanks

Hello michaelannb,
try to delete(OR you can rename the profiles.ini to profiles.iniOLD) the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file profiles.ini] file to force firefox to create a new profile, the profiles.ini file exist in firefox '''profile folder ''path'''''
for your xp type in command line (start > Run) :
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox
then find the profile.ini file (it is a plain-text file) and delete it.
then when you start firefox again, a new default profile folder will be created and only a single profile, the new "default", will be listed in the Profile Manager.
This new "default" profile doesn't contain any of the profile data or settings stored in your old "default" profile folder, which still exists but is no longer accessible from the Profile Manager.
Your existing Firefox user profile data, which includes bookmarks, passwords, cookies, preference settings and added extensions, will no longer appear in the new profile but you can[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox transfer the data from the old profile folder to the new default profile folder].
thank you

Seting up a default layout ?

how to setup a default layout in reports ?? i dont see an option or a button for that.
i guess it was available in forms 2.0
but now it isnt there.
there is only a report wizard.
but otherwise is there anyway to do it?

In the layout painter there is an "report block" which, I think, was previously called "additional default layout" that provides the same functionality as with 2.0 etc. Of course you can also manually create your required frames, fields, boilerplate, etc.
If you only have a single query then it looks the same as the "Report Wizard". If you have multiple queries then it looks closer to the dialog available in 2.0.

Modifying additional Layout destroys teh original default layout-Why?

Reports 6i in c/s.
I create a layout, customize it and save it.
Then I crate an Additional Default Layout. OK so far.
Now I want to re-enter in Additional Default Layout and modify it slightly thru wizard.
It destroys my previous original default layout.
Is there any way to avoid it?
Pl. guide.
Tariq

Hi Tariq,
The "Additional Default Layout" wizard isn't re-entrant. It is for adding various layouts to the layout painter but not modify an existing layout.
In addition, the Reports Wizard removes any objects from the layout section that you are defaulting into. Therefore, if you have added an additional layout and then run the Reports Wizard it will overwrite the current layout in that section.
The Reports Wizard gives you a starting point from which to develop your report. If you want to go beyond the options available in the wizard, you will need to use the live pre-viewer and layout painter.

ORACLE reports Build 10g - Data Model - query - If statement in Alias ?

I have the following select statement. It has the alias Survivors, Deaths and "All
With the ORACLE reports Build 10g - Data Model - I have the following query statement. I require the alias to change. Can the following be done.
Cases". Is it posible to use :P_LANGUAGE variable to say that -- IF :P_LANGUAGE = FRENCH THEN alias are Survivants for survivors, Décès for Deaths, Tous_les_cas for All Cases. Please advise
SELECT ALL T_NTR_MULTIBAR.CAT, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_LEFTBAR AS Survivors,
T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_MIDDLEBAR AS Deaths, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_RIGHTBAR AS "All Cases"
FROM T_NTR_MULTIBAR
WHERE INSTANCE_NUM = :P_INSTANCENUM
order by ORDERS

It is no problem, you can automatically change the complete query before the report is running, which delivers you different kind of values. But the alias names does not change in the group of the data-model, although two query are running with different alias names at different times. In the data model you see the alias names of the first implemented select statement, which are the column fields in the layout.

3.1 Bug Report: "Enable Search" in Create SQL Report wizard

Hi,
when "Enable Search" is set to Yes in the "Create SQL Report" wizard, the label template of the page items is set to NULL, it should be "Optional Label" (the default of the theme).
The PX_ROWS page item is not referenced in the "Number of Rows (Item)" property of the report. That means the user can choose what he wants, it never gets used.
BTW, it would be useful to write the PX_ROWS into a user preference when the page gets submitted and based the source type on this preference.
Thanks for looking into it.

Hi Christina,
just noticed that the "Reset Pagination" process which is also generated by the wizard doesn't contain the request "Reset" in the Condition Expression 1
-> Pressing the Reset button should always set the report to the beginning.
