Reports: Need to modify the width of a field on Dashboard prompts

Hello gurus,
We have configured a report, and exposed it on the Dashboard. One of the fields in the Dashboard prompts called "Account Name" is unusually large. We assume this is because it is fetching the data directly from the DB, and the width is to show the complete name.
The client wants to reduce this width such that it looks nicer.
We didn't find any such options in the Dashboard prompts' settings. Please let us know, in case somebody is aware of a work-around.
Thanks in advance..

open the query window in the data model, change something like adding a space at the end of a line and press ok. Reports should chekc now against the database the maximaum length and re-adjust the fieldlength. to explicity set the fieldlength, use a CAST(COLUMNNAME AS VARCHAR2(1500)) instead of the COLUMNNAME in your query.

Modifying the width of the DESNAME system parameter in Reports 6i

This is probably so simple so I apologise for posting it here but I've been asked to look at an error with an Oracle Report (Reports 6i) (I've never really used Reports).
When attempting to run the report, we get the following error :
REP-0091: Invalid value for parameter 'DESNAME'.
I think this is because the runtime value supplied for the DESNAME parameter exceeds the width property defined in the report. However, I cannot seem to modify the width property in Report builder.
Can someone tell me how to modify the width property for the DESNAME system paramter ??

Hi!
I don't think it is possible to increase its width. It's a system parameter which can have several pre-defined or user-defined values. Check the documentation or help regarding this.
Also, I think you can check several things.
1. Check "Report Triggers" if any. DESNAME can be modified there. Menu item "Program" --> "Find and replace in PL/SQL..." can help to search the code.
2. But more likely, incorrect value of DESNAME is passed into report from a calling module or batch script, or whatever. It can be a RUN_PRODUCT call in forms, or RWRUN60 in script. Check DESNAME there.
3. Try to debug. Use srw.message to display DESNAME value at report startup, for instance in "before parameter form" trigger.

How can I scale just one dimension of a pic? I need to shrink the width only, to fit the frame.

HELP! How can I shink only one dimension? I need to shrink the width slightly to fit the frame; the program only allows scaling that is proportional, so when I shrink the width the heigh becomes too short. Father Mike

I'd recommend using the rectangular marquee and the crop command. This will crop the image to an exact size without any resampling or distortion. Cropping without constraint can cause distortion...like giving someone a cone head.
Check the size of the image first by either looking in the Image<Resize<Image Size. Make a notation of the height since you don't want to change that in this case. (While you are there, change the resolution to the desired output...make notation of height after this step if you changed the resolution.)
Select the Rectangular Marquee tool. Change the setting in the options bar to "Fixed Size" and input the desired size. (Along with the numbers, specify in this box in what units you desire...px, in, etc.
Drag the marquee to the desired location. (As long as the marquee tool is selected, this selection box can be moved around).
Go up to the menu bar and select Edit<Crop.

How to change the width of a field?

Hi all,
I would like to decrease the width of a field on my report.
But I can't do it in the Property palette. I am not able to change the width property. The width of the database column is varchar2(255). I do not want to decrease the length of the database column, but only the width property of the field.
Any ideas?
Regards

As far as I knows, you can only increase the width of a
character column. If you wish to decrease it, I would think
you'd have to drop/delete the whole column and recreate it,
loosing all your data in the process (unless you create a
temporary table into which you copy the data first, and then
copy it back into the "new" column - the oracle db will truncate
the data automatically).
SQL Plus is very well suited for the task, but requires you to
write the appropriate SQL statements yourself. Other tools may
simplify this for you (I use SQL Plus myself).
Hope this helps.

Change the width of a field using XML

Hi,
I customize a report -set the width of a field- using XML but my
data is truncated.
Is it posible to set vertical elasticity for this field using
XML?
My XML file is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<report name="Rep" DTDVersion="1.0">
<layout>
<section name="main">
<field name="F_1" source="CP_FIELD" textColor="red" width="0.5"/>
<field name="F_2" source="CP_FIELD" width="0.5"
alignment="center"/>
<field name="F_3" source="CP_FIELD" width="1"/>
</section>
</layout>
</report>
I will appreciate any suggestion.
Thank you

You can change the size of the label, the text input box, and the field itself (border around the field in the design tab) - however there is one exception to being able to control the size of every field individually:
Fields that have "Labels left" or "Labels right" that are also the first field in a row will all share the same label width.
This is probably what you are encountering, this is how the fields work for now, those first in a row label left/right labels are all the same width.
Thanks,
Josh

Need to fix the width of a column in interactive report

Hi,
I have a column named 'Comment'. Its have a huge data due to which the lenght of that column in interactive report get increased. I need to fix the length to a desired value.
I used following code in Region Footer:
<style>
table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers=COMMENTS] {
_width: 300px;
min-width: 50px;
max-width: 300px }
</style>
Its solved the problem by fixing the width of the column but the column is not showing the full data now. It is hiding most of its part to fit it in that column.
Please give some idea.
Thanks,
Chandru

Hi,
I believe you will want to add a height specification to allow for multiple lines. And you may want/need to specifiy how you want lines to wrap.
Add (for example):
height: 60px;
white-space: nowrap;
word-wrap: break-word;
There are defaults and several options for white-space and word-wrap. You may want to look them up and give them a try for comparison.

PM Reports: Need to find the sum of a particular field in the output.

Hello Experts,
                      I have an issue. I have developed the report to calculate the power per ton. It is PM module.
Input is : DATE & Measuring Point.
Output required is : For a particular date , What is the power consumed per ton.
Its is calculated by the formula Power consumed per day / Production.
I have multiple entries for production ( because different material are used ) per date and a single entery for power (because power is taken as total power consumed per day)
Hence im getting the output as
For example:
date                power            production         power/ton
01.03.2011      5000                    100                  50.00
01.03.2011      5000                      50                 100.00
01.03.2011      5000                      25                 200.00
01.03.2011      5000                      75                  66.66
The desired result is
date                power            production         power/ton
01.03.2011      5000                    250                  20.00
I need to sum the production field.
How can I achieve this ?
Please help.

Hello
Rotate the loop and use event so on change just clear the variable based date condition .
take 2 temp variable for summation
clearing the total and moving value on permanent variable means modifying the itab.
loop at .
*Clear
on change <datefield>.
modify itab from wa transporting <field name> .
clear <total field>.
endon.
*Total
t_prd = t_prd + production..
t_power = t_power + power .
endloop.

still cannot accomodate the 2 new parameters.
Can someone please give me some tips on how to go about it.

List of Values - Can you modify the width of the return value?

I have a page item that is a Select List. Some of the display and return values in the list of values are up to 500 characters in length.
My client is fine with viewing the list in its entirety (full display width) within the select list, but is asking if there is a way to wrap the text on the screen once the value is selected/returned. Is this possible?
Thank you,
Laura

Thank you very much for your response. The problem is that I have many of these select lists on this one page and others, so I would have to go through the entire application and create all these display only fields. Was hoping there was someone to manipulate the width (wrap around capability) of select list field itself. Thanks, Laura
