SQL*Plus Sending Report to Printer

Hello:
I have a query which I would like to send the report to the printer. I am using the SPOOL OUT command and the report will not print. I'm running 10g.
Can someone help?
This is my SQL script:
SET NEWPAGE 0
SET SPACE 0
SET LINESIZE 80
SET ECHO OFF
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET VERIFY OFF
SPOOL C:\DEMO\DEPT3
CLEAR COLUMNS
CLEAR BREAKS
CLEAR COMPUTES
COLUMN DEPARTMENT_ID HEADING 'DEPT'
COLUMN LAST_NAME HEADING 'LAST NAME'
COLUMN SALARY HEADING 'SALARY' FORMAT $99,999
BREAK ON DEPARTMENT_ID SKIP 1 ON REPORT
COMPUTE SUM OF SALARY ON DEPARTMENT_ID
COMPUTE SUM OF SALARY ON REPORT
TTITLE CENTER 'iAPPLE PERSONNEL REPORT' SKIP 2 -
LEFT 'EMPLOYEE REPORT' RIGHT 'PAGE:' -
FORMAT 999 SQL.PNO SKIP 2
BTITLE 'COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL'
SELECT DEPARTMENT_ID, LAST_NAME, SALARY
FROM EMP_DETAILS_VIEW
WHERE SALARY > 12000;
SPOOL OUT
Thank you in advance.

from the 9i documentation
Stops spooling and sends the file to your host computer's standard (default) printer. This option is not available on some operating systems.
the 10g doc does not contain the second sentence.
so, what's your os? do you have a default printer set up? what version of sqlplus (client, not database)?

SQL*PLUS HTML reports

Hi how to add javascripts to the HTML reports generated using SQL*plus :
SET MARKUP HTML ON SPOOL ON
If we want to modify the dynamically generated HTML page by SQL*PLUS how does one do that??
Please help

If you create a script containing the following it should work:
set markup html on spool on
spool <your file>
run sql-commands here
spool off
set markup html off

Error sending report to printer

When I try to schedule a 9i report to print to a network printer, I get the following message.
Error while sending file to printer. Exit with Error Code 1848.
I am able to print from anything else to this printer.
Any Ideas?

If you use Windows the user that runs the reports server is usually LocalSystem. Check this in the Windows Services panel.
LocalSystem has no printer access. To be able to print, you have to use a real domain user that has access to the printer. So, change the Log on properties in the Services panel.

Fonts when sending Reports via Printer Option (10g Reports / Redhat 5)

When I send a Oracle 10g report to the printer, which PPD file is it using? The printer you install on the server or the one in ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/PPD directory?
I installed a printer on the Linux Server and copied the file to the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/PPD directory. I added some new fonts in the PPD so that the report would pick some Windows fonts that didn't exist originally on the Linux. I installed the fonts on the server and am able to see them in PDF Output options on the server.
When I send the report with the same parameters to the printer directly, it doesn't see those fonts. I only modified the PPD for that printer on ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/PPD directory. So I was wondering if I have to do it on the installed server file as well or not.
Any help is appreciated.

This was a response that I received from Oracle Support. Basocally, I'd have to install the font in the internal printer memory to get this to work.
Is there a way to send a Report to PDF in Oracle Forms and then at the same time once that PDF is generated, send it to the printer (without user interaction). That would take care of my problem. That would take care of my printing issue. I know PDF's work and I know I can print them displaying the fonts just fine.
Support Response:
Fonts need to be present in the PPD file as well as the internal printer memory .
Reason is as follows.
1)Based on PPD file , Font metrics will be used to create thye PS file with the correct font names.
2)When the PS file is sent to the the printer, actual fonts are not sent . Note that this is a limitation of Oracle Reports PS driver on unix and . Hence, it is required to have a printer that has the fonts installed in its memory/system.
Currently there is an internal pending enhancement request to upgrade the Postscript driver of Oracle Reports

REP-56048: Engine rwEng-0 crashed sending reports to printer Linux

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of things I could try to get around this error in Oracle 10g (10.1.2.3) on Linux:
Terminated with error: REP-56048: Engine rwEng-0 crashed
I'm receiving it when I send a report directly to the printer (DESTYPE=printer DESFORMAT=blank DESNAME=printer name. When I run it locally on my Windows Machine, the command works and my report prints direclty to the printer fine. It's only when I go to Linux that I have issues. I get the above error. I've read posts on here about turning tracing off but that doesn't seem to help (unless I turned an option off that I thought was tracing.
When I run it with (DESTYPE=cache DESFORMAT=pdf), the reports generates in a new browser window and works fine (on Windows and Linux both).
Here's the code below I'm sending

Has anyone had any issues with upgrading from a different OS (like Windows) to Linux and trying to print reports directly to the printer? I've had nothing but issues with it. I know others are using the feature but, I just haven't figured it out.
When I send it via the command line, I get this message below. I'm working with Oracle Support on this. I've got default printer setup as my network printer. I can print a document via the command line to my printer but when I submit an Oracle Report command, I get errors like below.
[as10g@inxx37 bin]$ ./rwrun.sh report=/u11/app/as10g/ybs/bin/test.rdf destype=printer

Inserting digitized signature in SQL plus reports

Our company has decided to use SQL plus for reporting needs. We have few reports with digitized signature printed at the bottom. Is this possible in SQL plus. Digitized signature should be in which format? Can somebody help me. If SQL plus doesn't support this, we mat need to look for alternate tools for reports.

Actually, it looks like Forums do something strange to URLs pasted into posts. Sorry!

Can we use xml Publisher reporting for sql* Plus in EBS

Hello All,
The current report is designed in Sql* Plus Executable report and the output is in txt format, Now the requirement is to have the output in Excel format.
So is it possible to use the xml reporting and make the output as Excel from the word template we design from MSword as we do for rdf(I have done few reports created in rdf to xml publisher reports in EBS and stand alone as well.).
Do the same procedure will suit for Sql*Plus reports tooo or Is there any work around to achieve this.
Thanks and Regards
Balaji.

Hi
Thanks for the reply..
I tried to do the follwoing
1. changed the output to xml in the conc. prog.
2. ran the same report but i am getting the follwoing error in the output file
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource
Other reports which are using the Oracle Reports(rdf) as source, i am able to generated the xml as expected....
So my question is whether we can use sql* reports executable and generate xml in the conc.prog.
if any one has used the sql*reports for xml publisher reporting... please let me know, so that if its possible i will check my sql needs some validation or tuning...
thanks in advance

SQL*Plus report: hide accept value in report

HI all,
I have created an SQL Report of an APEX-Application. The output is stored in a HTML file.
All works fine but one think I want to hide in the HTML report.
I try to describe what the problem is.
I prompt the user to put in the application_id of the apex application:
                       accept v_application_Id char prompt 'Appliaction-ID:'
In the HTML file the following output is shown:
Report created on:

How can I hide the two lines
alt 8: where application_id = &&v_application_id
neu 8: where application_id = 680
from the report?
I have searched this forum and toke a look into the documentation but I have nothing found.

Hi, Ben,
The SQL*Plus command to stop those messages is
SET VERIFY OFF
Put this command anywhere before the first use of a substitution variable, e.g. before the SPOOL command.
Those "OLD" and "NEW" messages will stay suppressed until you either end the SQL*Plus session, or issue a SET VERIFY ON command.
If you use SQL*Plus often, then, when you have a few minutes, look up the SET command in the SQL*Plus manual,
SET System Variable Summary
and read a little about each option. You probably won't remember everything, but you probably will remember what kinds of things can be controlled by the SET command, and have a better idea of where to start looking in the future when you have a different problem.

Query is Slower in PL/SQL than in SQL*Plus ?

I have a query that executes quiet fast in SQL*Plus (<1 second) but with EXECUTE IMMEDIATE withing an PL/SQL block its performance is really poor (=20 times slower)
I am using the agregation function WMSYS.WM_CONCAT and I figured out that the poor PL/SQL performance must be related somehow to this function...
I don't get why in SQL*Plus the query executes that much faster... Any ideas/solutions?
Thanks!
My PL/SQL query:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'INSERT INTO ' || temp_table_opt || '
SELECT DISTINCT a.hs as HS, a.ht as HT, a.vehicle_id as VEHICLE_ID, c.option_id as OPTION_ID, WMSYS.WM_CONCAT(e.av_checked) as AV,
d.vehicle_id || '';'' || d.option_code || '';'' || d.option_type || '';'' || d.manuf_name as COMPOUND_KEY
FROM jumla.ax_vid a, jumla.version b, jumla.equipment c, jumla.option_list d, jaxlink_data.checked e
WHERE a.hs = SUBSTR(''' || phsht || ''', 1, 2)
AND a.ht = SUBSTR(''' || phsht || ''', -2, 2)
AND b.vehicle_id = a.vehicle_id
AND c.vehicle_id = a.vehicle_id
AND d.vehicle_id = a.vehicle_id
AND b.id_106 IN (''2'', ''4'', ''X'')
AND d.option_type <> ''P''
AND d.option_id = c.option_id
AND e.hs = a.hs
AND e.ht = a.ht
AND e.schema_id = c.schema_id
AND e.option_code = d.option_code
AND e.description = d.manuf_name
GROUP BY a.hs, a.ht, a.vehicle_id, c.option_id, d.vehicle_id || '';'' || d.option_code || '';'' || d.option_type || '';'' || d.manuf_name';

> I am using the agregation function WMSYS.WM_CONCAT and I figured

Wrong.
Who executes the SQL that is created?
Answer - does not matter where the SQL comes from, from a PL procedure, Java program, SQL*Plus, TOAD or whatever, the SQL is parsed by the SQL engine, execution plan created by the CBO and stored in the SQL Shared Pool.
An EXECUTE IMMEDIATE is a PL command that sends the string to the SQL engine to be processed. Just as SQL*Plus sends a string to the SQL engine to be processed.
So how can the very same SQL be faster from SQL*Plus and slower from somewhere else?
Nothing to do with where it comes from, but everything to do wrt the session that the SQL is being executed in. Issues such as settings for that session (which can be differ from session to session). Scope. Context. Etc.

Let me know whether it is possible to print a hard report rom sql*plus and how.

Let me know whether it is possible to print a hard report rom sql*plus Yes. SPOOL is a command to get SQL*Plus screen results to disk real-time.
and how.A "report" is such a generic term, that you will have to get started with at least some reading :)

SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format

Hi,
what is the SQL Plus command to print a report in Landscape format?

841731 wrote:
Hi,

And all it does with line size is know where to insert a CR/LF pair (windows) or a CR (*nix). The only thing it knows to do with page size is repeat column headers.
The rest is up to whatever application you use to open the pure asciii text spool file.

Unable to send report output to printer when using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT in 10g

Hello All,
When I try to send my report output to a file from my form(10g), I get 'FRM-41213: Unable to connect to report server'. I can sucessfully send my report to printer when I set the REPORT_DESTYPE to 'PRINTER'.Here is the code from my when-button-pressed trigger.
Am I missing something?
declare
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
repid := find_report_object('PWRR_CTRL_TYP_MAINT');

ELSE
     msg_alert('Error when running report', 'I', FALSE);
END IF;
END;
Thanks,

Hi,
its because
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_FILENAME,'C:\TEST1.doc');
references the report rdf pr rep file to run, not the output file. The Reports output file is always specified with DESNAME
