URGENT: Problem in printing Character Mode Report in Chinese Version

Hello,
I am working with Reports 6i. i have developed one Character mode report. This report is working and printing fine in Windows 2000 Server (English Version). But, this report is not working properly in Windows 2000 Professional (Traditional Chinese Version) where i have compiled report in Chinese Version Machine. And, i am getting the Preview properly. Main problem is at the time of printing. I am using EPSON LQ - 2070 Dot Matrix Printer.
Please help me on this issue.
Thanks in advance.
S.Sudhakar Sankar.

Try printing to file first and ensure that the output is correct in something like "notepad" with the appropriate font.

Hi,
This sounds like a similar problem that I had (and still having). It was (is) a Bug. Go to metalink.oracle.com and reference this bug#1413754. See if this is your problem as well. My only work around was change the format of the file instead of using character mode I am now using PDF. Which is working fine for me.

Printing Character Mode Report On Oracle 9i AS - Application Server

Hi All,
Even though I have put this problem in Reports Forum,
I thought it fit to put forward this problem in Forms Forum
since Forms Forum is being accessed by a large number
of developers across the world.
Now the problem :
I have developed a report in Character mode that runs in
hundreds of pages. The output will be taken on High speed
Dot Matrix Printer since the client requirement is fast printing
& economical printing. That is the reason to develop this report
in Character mode & not Bitmap mode. This report works
fine in Client-Server environment.
However, the problem lies in the Web Server environment.
The same reports will be run on Oracle 9i AS. Since the
browser supports only HTML & PDF format, Character
mode reports faces a major problem.
Can anybody help me to resolve this problem ??
I would like to remind you again that the constraint is NOT
TO USE LASER PRINTERS.
Thanks.

Page size problem while creating character mode report

Hi All,
I've designed a report in character based layout design. The report needs to be loaded into NOTEPAD and then EXCEL sheet. I need maximum page width for this report. I kept page size of width 23" in layout design and pulled the fields so that to get maximum room. When I run the report and load it into NOTEPAD, I don't see the page width, meaning that it gives me normal 140 column size which is of course not what want.
Please can someone provide some assistance in this scnario.
Thanks - Zahir

The character mode and bitmapped page sizes are different, and independant of each other.
For character mode you need to set the width in the following places:
1) In the appropriate layout section property palette (assuming you're on 6.0 or above).
2) In the .prt file that you're referencing in desformat to produce the output.
If you set the width in both these places to the size you want you should be okay.
Alternatively, you may want to look at the delimited format to generate output for spreadsheets.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Character mode report cuts off last character on a line

Reports 9i, Windows 2003 Server. Printing character mode reports to IBM 6400 printer. I have a variable text column (multi line) and randomly the last character on a line gets cutoff. I'm using Courier 10 as my font. It is only 1 character that ever cuts cutoff. Any ideas? I'm desperate.
Tom

Hi,
change the reports height& width for landscape /portait.
and go to edit margin in layout.
see the layout and move to left if it has lot of gap in left side.
we can get correct output if the right side border is upto 8.2.
try with this.

Problem in Character Mode Report (Urgent)

Dear All
i m designing a character mode report
and when i preview it ,,, it will display
different report font which is big in size
and width so it is not fit in the designed columns
can any one help me ,, y this problem is exist
though i m using Dot matrix printer EPSON DFX-8500
printer.

Hi..
If you are directly giving Print from previewer..you need to set printer to 10 cpi (if you want bigger font) and 12 dpi to compress the larger font..
CPI is character per inch so in one inch 10 chr or 12 chr can fir acc to setting.
If you are uploading file on Oracle Apps then you need to set fonts if needed in concurrent manager,printer setting,Style,fonts ..
"But the hardware setting is vewry imp..set the font in DRAFT mode"..

Urgent... ( Character Mode Printing)

Hi friends,
We are using Report 6i. We are facing a problem while printing reports in Character. In win-98 it works fine, but the same report does'nt print propertly in WIN-XP PC. In XP a Blank line are generated after each line.
Can somebody help us in this regard.
Sanjay (INDIA)

Hi,
First create your .prt file. In this file, you must define the printer escape sequence for making an object print in bold format, for example. Most of the supplied .prt files incorporate this code. An example of a HP printer setting is:
code "1" esc"(s7B"
code "2" esc"(s0B"
Check your printer settings and/or consult your printer manual for more information on other effects, such as italic.
Next build your character mode report.
The report must now be set to the .prt file. Set the DESFORMAT system parameter for your report to test.prt (no need for .prt extension). This can also be set as a runtime parameter.
Next, go to the object in the report that you want to print in bold; such as, boilerplate text. Click on the properties for the boilerplate text, and go to the 'Printer Codes' tab. References to the escape codes shown above must be entered here in the Before and After fields. You are interested in the BOLD On and Off printer escape sequences so we would put &1 in the before and &2 in the after field.
Save and run the report directing the output to a valid printer. The printed version of the character mode report should incorporate your changes.
NOTE: You do not have to use &1, and so forth, Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

Printing of Character Mode Reports on 3 tier on Dev 6i

Has anyone done character mode printing of reports on Dev6i? We are facing problem of REP: 3002. We have already loaded Orarrp on server and client and also tried changing the service property from log on as System Account to Log on as Administrator and also vice-versa, but nothing seems to work.
Any help will be appreciated.
Plz repond to email: [email protected]
B.Suryaprakash

The first thing to do is to make sure that you can print a character mode report on the server box just using the rwrun60 executable.
If you can do this then you should take a look and make sure that the user that's started the reports server has access to the printer that you're trying to print to (you seem to have changed from the localsystem log on to Administrator, but are you sure that Administrator can access those printers).
I think that orarrp is a red herring here - and I'm not sure why you're trying to set it up.
Hope this helps,
Danny

6i character mode report migrate to 11g , printing result were incorrect in the same matrix printer?

Hi All
We got stuck when our 6i character mode report migrate to 11g.
We use the same PC to test, when run 6i report(character mode with 200 column) in legacy system, report result were correct in our matrix printer ,
When running in 11g, if we directly print report via report builder (without preview), result were correct.
But running report via preview/screen mode, printing result were incorrect ( not 200 column width).
We try to adjust PC's printer/paper setting , but our-defined printing option never appeared in printer dialog.
Is anything(config or some setting) we forgot to do in this situation ?
Thanks for all your patient response!

Character mode report printing

hi everyone,
When I am running report in character mode, it is working fine in previewer. But as soon as I am giving the printing from there, it is giving Rbe ERROR dialog box and runform is getting hanged. How can I get report printed directly from previewer in character mode report generation.
On the other hand if i redirect o/p to a file by making destination type file, then I am able to take to print of file. If any have a solution, please reply ASAP.
Thanking every one
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
It is not clear from your question about the type of error message you are getting.
Please meake sure that the report is indeed a character mode report.
Please verify the following for that:
1. The mode in system parameters is defaulted to
'caracter'
2. In the property palette of the report, the "design in character units" should be marked as yes.
Please ensure that above points and try printing again.
thanks
