Reports 6.0 (TABS missing in print/preview)

I have created a paragraph (with TABS) using Oracle System Editor.
When print using Reports, the TAB get replaced with a SPACE.
Any ideas of how to get the TAB spacing in Reports?
Thanks for and ideas.

I realize that it has been awhile since you posted this, but I just ran across the same problem this week and have a solution for you. You need to use the replace( ) function in your select statement. [see example]
Example: <tab> is the actual "Tab" key
select replace( text_column, '<tab>','<6 spaces>' )
from db_table
This will replace all of the "physical" tabs that are stored in the database with "6 spaces".

Reports output to a file and printer/previewer

Group,
It's been a while since I messed with reports, but I have been given the requirement to somehow save a copy of a generated report, so that it could be reprinted at some later date exactly as it was originally printed. My initial thought was to save a copy of the report in pdf format at the time it was printed. Uses a unique file name and record that in our app.
My questions are is that technically possible, ie save to unique (to that printing) named pdf file at the same time it is printed? Or would they have to run the report twice? Once for the printer and once for the pdf file?
Are there any better alternative methods?
We are currently using forms/reports 6i, soon to be moving to 10g. But the requirement for this feature is required before we move to 10g. This would be required to work on several different reports.
Thanks for any advice.

6i client server. Calling reports from forms.
So the save to file first then print with host is an option. Will that work with previewer?
thanks.

When I open a new tab or print preview, the msn games page pops up

I downloaded a trial game from msn games and whenever I open a new tab or open print preview to print out a page the msn games search page opens up. In print preview the correct page will print, but I cant choose a specific page or view the next page. I removed the game and all of its components but the problem didn't go away

You can use [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/ NewTabURL] extensions to accomplish the same.

Needing a 'print preview' capability for HP Officejet Pro 8600 (model N911a)

Please provide a 'print preivew' capability via the HP 'print window' for the 8600 Pro.
I purchased this machine in early April 2014 after the prior printer (photosmart 410) 'threw-up' ink inside the printer. The software with that Photosmart 410, prior (and perhaps some current) HP printers provide a 'print preview' capability.
I have several systems (some Windows Vista; some Win-7). All are current with maintenace (including HP S/W & drivers).
The printer is ethernet-cable connected to a 'switch' and in-turn ethernet-cable connected to a wireless router. Some PCs are also ethernet-cable connected; others are wireless connected.
The ability to do a 'print preview' via the HP S/W is not available on any system (i.e. via the 'print' window or subsequent windows, like 'Properties' or 'Advanced').
While some applications have a print preview capability, not all do. Having that capability via the printer 'window (i.e via HP provide S/W) is necessary - it is useful to make sure formating is proper, allows for subsequent changes if needed, and provides the abiloity to see and select the printing of only some pages.
This issue and request has been raised several times - going back to 2012. Just do a search on the Forum using keywords '8600' and 'preview'. The following are a couple instances:
1) http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-Drivers/Automatic-print-preview/m-p/1529879...
2) http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-Drivers/Where-is-Print-Preview/m-p/3299717/...

Hi DragonflyFairy,
I understand you would like to know how to get the print preview when printing from the internet.
Depending on what browser you are using, you should have the option to do the print preview.
I have provided 3 different browsers with how to get to the print preview.
Internet Explorer: Go to file, print preview and make your adjustments.
Google Chrome: Go to the icon in the top right corner and click the icon with the 3 lines, click print, make your changes.
Firefox: Click on the tab Firefox dropdown and select print, print preview. Change your settings.
If you are missing the print preview, take a peek at these documents to see if it will help.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 - Print Preview is not available

I have a new HP Officejet Pro 8600 AIO printer that I purchased last week. I hooked it up to print in a network environment. I have thee window xp systems and three windows 7 systems printing to it with no issues.I am very happy with it. Yesterday my wife told me that when she printed she missed the print preview that our former printer had. I thought I would easily get into the HP 8600 printer program and setup the print preview option. To my surprise after checking in numerous areas and online, I found out that it looks like the option has been left out or not provided for the printer by HP. I realize the MS Office and many other programs have their own print preview however when being online with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, you quickly realize that the option to select the pages you want to print and not print could save alot of wasted paper and ink. Someone please tell me that a print preview software option is in the works for this otherwise great printer! I can not imagine leaving this out of the printing software package provided.

Since HP isn't answering me on the 'Print Preview' being available soon or which HP printers software actally HAVE the 'print preview' function enabled... I did some searching and I found a partial answer to the 'print preview' delema. The web site http://www.obviousidea.com/windows-software/greencloud-printer/
has a free program called GreenCloudPrinter which, in a nut shell, will install a printer? called GreenCloud which set itself up as the default printer and any file that is sent to the printer gets directed to the GreenCloud device which will then bring up a 'print preview' screen with options to remove blank pages and or print or not print the preview! And a lot of other functions too. Works great and it's free. You do have to register it and a registration code is emailed to you to unlock the program. I hope that helps you out... worked for me.

Report Displays in Viewer but Web Print produces blank pages

I am using VS 2008 w CR 2008 SP2 in a web application deployed on Win2008.
I have set the report to display all pages so that the users can hit the print button on their browser (IE7). When the report is shown in the report viewer it looks perfect. When the print button on the browser is used blank pages with the url on top/bottom of each page print, but there is no report.
If I use the print preview and turn on the background layers, I can see that the report background is on two and half pages, which would be corect; but there is no report text or data.
Any ideas?

Hello,
If you page through the report in the viewer is all the data visible?
Have you handled the postback event so that the report is in session before you print?
Look at the samples in the Crystal Reports Visual Studio .NET [Samples|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary?rid=/library/uuid/d0bf8496-2a81-2b10-95ac-b1f48d5b63f5]. Go to the "ReportDocument_Object_Model_Tutorials" and look at the "RDObjMod_Session" sample.
There are also different methods for printing from the web. Printing from the Print control on the viewer downloads an ActiveX print control to the local system. The user needs to have Administrator rights for it to install and register. For information on web printing options look at the article[ "Printing Web based reports with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET"|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/600c24a3-ab1d-2b10-1bb4-c50562e353cb].

Data missing when Exporting or print preview from ALV report

Hi
I have a alv report which is showing fine but when i try to export it to say excel sheet or do print preview some of the data is missing. Can anyone tell me how to fix this. or at least point to some document that discuss this problem.
Here is my ALV CODE
* CALL_ALV
form call_alv.
* v_repid = sy-repid.
perform build_field_catalog using field_tab[].
perform build_eventtab      using events[].

      it_special_groups       = gt_sp_group[]
      it_sort                 = gt_sort[]
      i_save                  = v_save
      is_variant              = v_variant
      it_events               = events[]

    exceptions
      program_error            = 1
      others                   = 2.
endform.
From my Catalog this data is missing
* BUILD_FIELD_CATALOG
form build_field_catalog USING pt_fieldcat type
                               slis_t_fieldcat_alv.
data: ls_fieldcat type slis_fieldcat_alv.
clear: fieldcat, pt_fieldcat[].

    ls_fieldcat-datatype       =                'C'.
    append ls_fieldcat to pt_fieldcat.
There r coupole that's missing
But there couple that show's up like this one
    ls_fieldcat-fieldname      =                'STIME'.
    ls_fieldcat-seltext_s      =                'ST   '.
    ls_fieldcat-seltext_m      =                'St Tm     '.
    ls_fieldcat-seltext_l      =                'Start Time          '.
    ls_fieldcat-datatype       =                'C'.
    append ls_fieldcat to pt_fieldcat.
    ls_fieldcat-fieldname      =                'ETIME'.
    ls_fieldcat-seltext_s      =                'ET      '.
    ls_fieldcat-seltext_m      =                'Et Tm           '.
    ls_fieldcat-seltext_l      =                'End Time             '.
    append ls_fieldcat to pt_fieldcat.
I always reward points.
Thanks

hi Anwarul,
Try the following code:

call function 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
exporting
I_PROGRAM_NAME = sy-repid
I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'REC'
changing
CT_FIELDCAT          = pt_fieldcat.
When you export to excel, the character fields and numeric columns gets re-arranged, but all the fields will be displayed in this case.
hope this helps.

Vendor Ref. no. not displayed in print preview in vendor aging report

Dear SAP team,
Vendor reference number is not displayed in print preview/print on vendor liabliteis aging report,
but this vendor reference number actually show in report,We are taking report by journal postings,
vendor reference entered in NumAtCard in AP invoice get copied to Ref2 in Journal Entry,then
why it is not showing in print preview/print.
Whether this is an application error / missing functionality ?
We are using SAP Business One 2005 B (7.40.252) SP: 00 PL: 36.
Whether upgrade to latest patch 2005B PL46 will solve this issue ?
Jeyakanthan

Hello Jeyakanthan,
I would like to draw your attention to the enhancements we delivered within Aging Report in 2007 version and plan for 8.8 release.
The primary enhancement in 2007 version is reflecting new concept of Internal Reconciliation with more convenient backward reporting.
Within the 8.8 release ...
- when you generate the aging report you can group the report by customer or sales employee in the customer receivables aging report, and by vendor or buyer in the vendor liabilities aging report;
- when the aging report has been generated, you can view multicustomer/multivendor detailed information in the aging report window. There is no need to double-click each customer/vendor row to view the details.
We would strongly to recommend you to upgrade to 2007 version or join the ramp-up of 8.8 release soon.

hi all,
Thru a workaround i brought up vendor reference number in print preview/print,
Applied formatted search in journal remarks of ap invoice thru query
SELECT $[OPCH.NumAtCard]
,this will populate vendor ref. no in journal remarks
which can be displayed in details in aging report.
Is there any solution other than above to bring vendor reference number in print ?

Crystal Report print layout error during print preview

Hi Everyone,
When I try print preview a marketing document, it will work the first time, and then when I try to print preview again it brings up a window asking me to login into the database with the sa username and password.
When putting in the correct password, the login fails.
When I click cancel, SAP hangs up and requires a restart.
All print layouts were done in Crystal Reports, and imported via the report layout manager.
This occurs on all marketing documents where there is a crystal print layout.
Anyone will be able to help me with this?
Thanks

Hi Rahul,
Your solution worked. Thank you very much.
I also did not include a stored procedure into the connection that was needed in the layout.
This could have also added to the problem (for future reference).
