Usage of /br tag in report headings

Hi all,
as interactive reports don't wrap text natively, we use </br> in heading and everything works fine.
Could this cause some problems to Apex?
Thank you!

Hi,
You use br tag?
It should not cause any problems. I have used it without problems since interactive reports are introduced on Apex.

Standard Report Headings, JAVA script usage,and Report field fixed width

My company has purchased Crystal Reports 2008 and I'm in the process of determining if the product will do everything we need and not become a maintenance nitemare.
We would like to setup some standard report headings to be used in all reports. I've setup on already as a SUBREPORT and it works fine. We pass optional parameters that may be blank.
We have several questions:
1) Subreport...Once a SUBREPORT is setup as a standard heading and included in multiple reports, we are concerned about what is required if the standard heading subreport changes. Will each report that uses this need to be opened or handled in any way to pickup the subreport changes? Any suggestions how to handle this?
2) Subreport....In order to get the "PAGE N of M" to work in the subreport we've setup the subreport to accept parameters that are passed from the main report and this works fine. But this requires every report using the standard heading to setup the parameters in order to work. Is there any other way that would minimize the setup needed for a standard heading?
3) JAVA... Can we call a Javascript function? If so, any hints/tips on how/where to do this?
4) Standard Report... Creating the report is difficult with guessing the width to define to the field. Is there a way that the report can know and display the exact size of the field being used? A fixed field defininiton of some sort would make it MUCH easier in the layout of the report.
5) Standard Report...We are currently testing with a stored procedure for the SQL query result data but because of the application we will need to build the query dynamically for every report. Is there a way to bind the data and specify the field lengths?
6) Standard Report...When using a defined file structure I needed to add another field. At the time it seemed like I had to start from scratch as the fields that were on the report were now gone. Is there a update method that can be done import the changes and not loose existing fields on a report?
That all for now. Sorry there are so many questions. We are trying to clear up as many issues as we can before starting the 100+ reports needed.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vitaly Izmaylov,
I've taken your advice and split out questions 2-6 into seperate questions. Anyone else please respond only to question 1 here.
I see the Re-Import subreport option....and I guess I can only assume that this means that any change to a report heading file (subreport) must be manually re-imported into every report it is used in. There are no behind the scenes files or table that maintain a usage of these reports and can automate the population of the changes.
I was hoping that maybe the subreports would be accessed when called for an pickup any new changes. So if I create 100 reports with standard heading subreport, I would need to manually open and re-import that file in each report to update a report heading change.
Does not sound real fun.
Is all this true?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Nr
Here is how I approached this problem.
Go to report attributes tab
under column attributes check PLSQL radio button.
Create a function to return the heading of your report as shown below in your database.
create function get_heading return clob as
v_request VARCHAR2(20) := V('REQUEST');
v_col_heading CLOB;
begin
IF INSTR(v_request,'FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT',1) > 0 THEN
v_col_heading := 'Employee Number:Employee Name';
ELSE
v_col_heading := 'Employee breaktag Number:Employee break tag Name';
END IF;
return v_col_heading;
end;
Type the function below under ( Function returning colon delimited headings:) as follows.
return get_heading;
Similarly for data base it on PLSQL function body returning SQL and follow the same approach as headings.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

i'm working on a report in apex. the data i've captured has html tags in the column information. is there a way to capture those tags in the report output?
Thanks in advance,
Edited by: user13080645 on Feb 23, 2011 1:38 AM

Hi,
Go to report attribute page and select that column and "Standard Report Column" in "Display As".
You can show the html tag in report.

Custom Report Headings Type forces headings to initcap

APEX V4.2.3.00.08
When I choose "custom" for my report headings type in a classic report they are forced to Initcap. How do I have mixed case in a report heading? I don't want words like "in","of" etc forced to initcap. I don't think I've seen this problem before. Could be a bug in V4.2 ??
thanks in advance

I'm using Theme 13 Blue Gray, Region template is "Reports Region". the Report Template is "Template 13 Standard". This is the bit of code in the Standard template under "Column Heading Template" that formats the report header
<th#ALIGNMENT# id="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#" class="t13ReportHeader">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th>
Is there some code I can put here that overides the inherent "Capitalization" without having to update the CSS file which contains the t13ReportHeader class?
You could, but it wouldn't be recommended. In 4.2, modify the page templates and add the following CSS override to the Inline CSS property:
th.t13ReportHeader {
text-transform: none !important;
Why are you using such an ancient theme in 4.2?

Did anyone experience drop down in # of user usage in Apple's weekly report after transitioning?

Hello,
Did anyone experience drop down in # of user usage in Apple's weekly report after transitioning to the new structure (or design)?
We transitioned our public iTunes U site on the first week of April.
Since then, the number in the apple's weekly report showing the user usage of the site dramatically went down.
I don't think all the RSS feeds and the URL of our podcasts changed due to the transition.

Greetings;
The following previous discussion thread might shed some light on your issue. All the best...

Can a process update report Headings?

Does anyone know how to use a process to directly update Report Headings, perhaps using the HTMLDB API? I need dynamic headings determined at run time, but I cannot use the PL/SQL Headings Type because I have too many columns in the report (the delimited headings string exceeds HTMLDB's length limit).

500 columns!
I thought there was a limit of 60 columns on report regions.
In any case, there is also a limit on the total size of each row returned (regardless of number of columns). Are you not running into that limitation?
See the discussion at Re: Report with Tabs - Enhancement Request? , that might help you. Basically, break the 500 columns into groups that make sense and put each set of columns in a tab and flip between them using the techniques in that thread.
This way, each report has a more manageable number of columns and you can stay under the varchar2(4000) limit.

Weird Usage in my Text message report

Hi, I found some weird usage in my text message report - records of heavy-data usage with unidentifed number and marked as International Mobile Data. I don't think I've ever used international texting. Please see the screeshot at this link: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1mgL50xy Could you please help me figure out what it is? Thank you! Helen

This is not an AT&T text message report. It is more like a Baidu usage report of your Baidu cloud storge account.

PL/SQL based report headings throw ORA-06502

I have a report that presents a view containing over 500 columns. This is data generated by an ETL process (for a data mining app), and the view's column names are dynamically defined each time the data are compiled. I've got scrolling set up within the region and the report works fine (all ~500 columns) with headings based on Column Names. However since column names change, I must use the Region Source option to 'Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)' and define Headings Type as PL/SQL. I've written a function to build the ':' delimited field list from the data dictionary and it all works just fine for a small number of columns (i.e., when the view is defined as only a few fields). When I try the complete data (~500 columns), the report region shows "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small". I've confirmed (in sql*plus) that the function returning the ':' delimited field list works fine. Anyone know if there a limit to the number of columns that HTMLDB can handle for dynamic headings? Or a workaround??

Thanks for the reply. Couple of follow up questions...
1) Is there a workaround to generate dynamic (run-time) headings that exceed the 4000 char limit?
2) Page 1 of my app runs an PL/SQL process. One of the results of the process is a redefinition of my view's column names. Page 2 reports the view (~500 fields). Instead of PL/SQL function-based column headings, can either Page 1 or Page 2 directly update Page 2's report "static" column headings behind the scenes as some sort of page process?

PL/SQL Report Headings Type question

Hi,
If I set a report to use a Heading Type of "PL/SQL", is there a way to get the region id of the report from within the PL/SQL function that I provide in the "Function returning colon delimited headings" section?
#REGION_ID# (available in a report template) doesn't seem to work.
Thanks,
Eric

Report region ids are not accessible to developers for use in the App Builder. You have to run the page, see what the generated region id is and then go back and hardcode it whereever you need.
I understand that this is going to be improved in the next release, the region id is going to be a user-defined attribute.

Report headings based on Items: values not substituted in BI Publisher

That is, custom column headings such as "&P7_HEADING_X.".
They show up fine as the item values in the browser report, but as the literal ("&P7_HEADING_X.") in BI Publisher output to Excel, Word, etc.
I've noticed that PL/SQL based headings pass through all right. I can probably use this as a work-around. Is there a way to get BI Publisher to do the item value substitutions ?
I am working with Application Express 3.1.0.00.32 on apex.oraclecorp.com.
I've just been introduced to BI Publisher (like today). All I know about it is that you get to it through the Print Attributes panel.

Mike said: "I am assuming that you are just using the default download and I use the "&." notation in the column headings so it should pass over to word, or excel."
Yes, this is it. But, when the column headers pass through BI Publisher, they are not substituting (like you said, they "should" but they don't). I wind up with an Excel (or Word, or PDF) file where the column headings are all '&P7_HEADING_01.', '&P7_HEADING_02.', etc.
Again though, all I know about BIP is that it hooks into APEX by way of the Report "Print Attributes" panel. And, I'm not even so sure about that; there's no indication what's doing the "print" serving behind the scenes.

Help needed in formating the text using HTML tags in reports 10g

Hi all,
I have a situation here. We have an application which prints out Reports with a few lines of text in it. This text is entered by the user through our forms application in a field. That particular text is stored in each row of a particular long column. Here I want to modify the text, while printing, on the report like underline, bold, italics etc,.
As of now I am using the HTML tags, in the forms, to do so as most the times the text in the report is same.
I want to know if this can be done by the user itself while he is entering the data in the field through the form.
Thanks in advance . I will explain you more clearly if you need.

Oracle Tag in Report Header Text

I am trying to use the Oracle tag in the Report and Customization Form Text Header Section. I would like to show the current date/time as well issue a select statement. Does this not work?
<ORACLE>
htp.p(to_char(sysdate,'Day, Month DD YYYY HH:MI AM'));
</ORACLE>

Hi,
You can only enter plain text or HTML tags here. If you want to use select statement or plsql you can use the
additional plsql code sections to do this.
Thanks,

Report Headings are not displaying after moving request to production

Dear all
A request has been moved to production server for a new report from quality to production server.
First we moved the request from development to quality.
In quality server , the new report is executing successfully, but coming to production,
after moving the request successfully, the headings of the fields are not coming (displaying the database table fields).
I am not understanding why it is happening.
Can anyone suggest me, what to do for executing the report with specified headings for the columns
Thanks & Regards
Maheshwar Rao. G

Dear SIr
I imported again with new request, it came ..but why itz happened in last time.
Thanks & regards

HTML tags in Report

Hi,
I am trying to create a report using APEX. I am using a word template - report layout. but some of the columns does have html tags in the data itself. (eg <b> etc) How can I get to display this in my report.
Also for some Fields I am using the Old English Text font we have in Word. But when it comes to display the report in PDF those special fonts are displayed as ordinary ones. any IDea how to get this working?
Thanks
Meenu

Hi Meenu,
This is the same problem as in another thread where you replied. I don't have an answer yet. The problem is probably due to the html data is rendered when you show it in a browser but doesn't get rendered when printing in pdf (by BI Publisher).
I see some possibilities:
- call a function in plsql that transforms your html to xml and sent that to BIP
- configure BIP so that it gets rendered correctly
I don't have the answer right now. I hope Marc can answer it before, otherwise I'll investigate it in a week.
