Vertical Sizing Hell

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could help me as I have been chasing my tail on this
problem for two days. I'm going bald from ripping my hair out and my teeth are
ground down to nubs from the frustration.
I have had this problem before on reports and have always been able to track
the issue down and fix it but this time the answer completely eludes me.
Our client requested we customize the Finacial apps PO report. It had gone
through 2 to 3 developers before it got to me. Instead of a text report it is
coming out in a PDF format amongst a slew of other changes. I was to make
the last handful of fixes. I made about 30 changes or so without a problem.
I am down to the last two issues and am completely stuck.
To briefly explain the structure there is one overall group frame (M_GRP), and an overall
repeating frame (R_GRP) within it. Inside the repeating frame are several other main frames (M1,M2,M3,etc)
each with several other main frames and repeating frames. (the names above are not exact,
just examples). In the M2 main frame they want me to display the date the overall
PO was cancelled. I add the label, the report works fine. I add the field and
its repeating frame and I get that "object will not fit vertically in :(some field)".
The first object it mentions is the page number at the top of the report. I change it's
vertical elasticity to variable and then of course it complains about some other field.
I believe I have adjusted every object in the report and it still complains. There must
be something else that I am missing but I can't think what. Is the logical page size?
Do I have to make the main group and repeating frames larger? Does it have something
to do with the margin? Is there any way I can more easiliy track down the problem? Some debugging
feature I am not aware of or what?
Please, any help would be most appreciated before I go completely mad.

Just thought I'd let everyone know that I no longer need any help with this
(not that anyone has responded). After working late friday, brooding over it on the
weekend, I stumbled onto the problem by change mid-Monday. Turned out it was a font
issue. I had copied the fields I wanted from the original report to our customized
report and hadn't noticed they were of a different font. They looked close enough
that it never occurred to me they were different. Once I noticed the difference
and changed the new fields over the report started to work. Why oh why I do not know.
It's another of those great mysteries of the univers that will probably never be solved.

CUSTOM REPORT PROBLEM - REP-1213

I am a student trying to complete a project. I developed a
"custom" report form which uses 5 tables to generate the report.
I have entered the 'fields' at various locations on the report
form and when I run the report I get the following error message:
"REP-1213: Field 'client_id' references column 'CLIENT_ID' at a
frequency below its group."
I have presented this problem to my instructor who does not have
a solution to resolve this problem for me. Is there a solution
for this? Or ... does Oracle not allow for 'custom designing'
of reports? How does someone develop a custom made invoice or
other report for a client without encountering these problems?
Anybody's assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Title: Understanding Frames
Revision Number 0
Product: Oracle Reports
Platform: GENERIC
Abstract: This document provides a better
understanding
of frames and the layering concept.
Also
discusses frequency errors.
Keywords: REPEATING;FRAME;VARIABLE;FIXED;EXPAND;
CONTRACT;FREQUENCY;
INTRODUCTION
There are two types of frames: Repeating frames and non-repeating
frames.
Each is a visual representation of actual 3GL code that underlies
the action
of fetching and printing the rows selected from tables.
Non-repeating frames
act as containers and can be mapped back to the pseudocode: BEGIN
and END.
Repeating frames are representations of the Fetch Cycle and can
be mapped to
the pseudocode: WHILE NOT END OF TABLE and END WHILE.
Graphically, frames are stacked one atop the other. This may not
be
immediately apparent. It is difficult to distinguish which frame
is beneath
another. A quick way to see the three-dimensional layering is to
change the
color of the frames. Make each frame a different color. This
will create a
three-dimensional effect as frames above will partially obscure
those beneath
it. You will also notice the layering structure when using the
object
navigator in Reports V2.5
NON-REPEATING FRAMES
Non-repeating frames are not record-related. They print as often
as the
object in which they are enclosed, or to which they are attached
by an anchor.
They do not have a print direction.
REPEATING FRAMES
Repeating frames are place holders for records. Repeating frames
print once
for each record of a group and control record-level formatting.
Reports will
generate one repeating frame for each group when you create a
default layout.
Reports will place containers of columns inside of the frames.
Each repeating
frame retrieves only one row in its fetch cycle for any one
repetition. Until
it is constrained by another frame, it will repeat itself until
the while loop
condition can no longer be satisfied.
VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL SIZING
The Vertical Sizing of a repeating frame will default to FIXED if
all the
objects in the repeating frame are fixed. If the repeating frame
encloses an
object (e.g. field, frame) that grows, then the vertical sizing
defaults to
VARIABLE or EXPAND.
FIXED
If the Vertical Size of the frame is FIXED then the object's
height is the
same on each logical page, regardless of the size of the objects
or data
within it. Truncation of data may occur. The height of the
object in the
layout editor is the actual height of the object at runtime. No
special
symbol is indicated on the frame in the layout editor.
VARIABLE
If the frame's Vertical Sizing Attribute is VARIABLE and there is
nothing
below it, it collapses. For example, if it normally is four lines
long and
only one row is returned, then it will not print three blank
lines but will
actually collapse the output to one line. If you drag the
position of the
fields downward, the space above will not collapse because of the
IMPLICIT
ANCHOR. The object will expand or contract vertically to
accommodate the
objects or data within it. The height shown in the layout editor
has no
effect on the object's height at runtime. The vertical sizing
attribute
functions as if you used a combination of contract and expand. A
diamond
symbol is indicated on the frame in the layout editor.
EXPAND
If the frame's Vertical Sizing Attribute is set to EXPAND, it
will begin at a
minimum size defined by the frame, and will expand as necessary
to accommodate
more data or lines that exceed the length of the column. An
equal sign symbol
is indicated on the frame in the layout editor.
CONTRACT
If the frame's Vertical Sizing Attribute is set to CONTRACT, the
vertical size
of the object decreases if the formatted objects or data within
it are short
enough, but it cannot increase to accommodate larger data.
Truncation may
occur. A circle is indicated on the frame in the layout editor.
FREQUENCY ERRORS
You may receive frequency errors when a repeating frame is moved
or deleted,
thus changing the layering of the frames. Often, users may
attempt to correct
this error by adding the deleted frame back, but this does not
fix the
problem. The existence of the frame is not enough, even it is
does not
overlap other objects in the layout. The frame must also be in
the right
position within the hierarchy. In addition to recreating the
deleted frame,
you must push the new frame to the right layer using the ARRANGE
option on the
Layout menu.
If you move an object outside its native frame, then you must
enclose it
within a repeating frame to group it within the same loop.

Image size to fill out the IE window

Hello,
I have a view with a menu on the left and a view container on the right side.
In the view container a linked another view.
That only constist of an image. I want this image to fill out the whole space available in the IE.
if somwbody has a low monitor resultion, it should be rezised to fill out everything and if somebody has a high resultion its the same. I dont want any "scroll bars" in the IE because the picture is to big nor I want empty space because the picture is displayed smaller than the window of the IE.
I have tried everything out. I put the image in a transparent container with "stretch", i set high and width for the transparent container and the picture to 100% but nothing really works.
As soon as I set high of the image to 100% it zero pixel. But if I set an value with px, em or ex I define the size and rezising is not done. And I cant see what the option "adjust image size" really does. I cant see any difference by (un)-checking it.
Is there any way to tell an object to be exactly that size the IE has? Is webdynpro able to recognize the monitor resolution and render an object to exactly that size?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the quick answer!
It does not work.
I can only see a very thin horizontal like. The image gets "compressed" to about 3 pixel and the line is as long as the image is wide (so no vertical sizing as well).
I tried it with WinXP SP3 and IE8.
I tried it with WinXP SP3 and IE6.
I tried it with my own PC via VPN to make sure its no nasty setting to our company desktop and I have only Windows, Office, SAP GUI on it. Nothing else.
Always the same result. As soon as I set the height of the image to 100% I get only a thin horizontal line.
You were able to accomplish. So I tried FireFox portable - and it works!
My lesson learned is that a picture can only be re-sized to a smaller size but not expanded. Thats no problem, I could use a 1600x1200 pixel graphic and then its made smaller.
But we have to use IE because thats the companies standard and SAPs as well.
We have the application running on a NetWeaver 2004s BI 7.0 machine. No EHP1. System got latest patches 3-4 month ago.
I cant believe that the SAP machine is the problem, because FireFox renders the graphik the same as your screenshots show.
Do you have any idea what the problem could be? Or could it be some kind of customizing/parameter problem within SAP? I have the problem since over 1 year and always thought its just a bug getting solved somewhen by a patch...

Writing text in 'Tear Away' flyers..

I am composing a flyer with 'tear-away' boxes on the bottom which are vertically sized. How do I 'flip' them over horizontally in order to enter text into these vertical boxes and then place them back in a vertical position to complete the entire flyer page...?

Should I begin over with making a new vertical box from a 'Text' or 'Shape' Objects...
It's possible those boxes from the old flyer aren't being recognized as rotated. It's probably easier just to make new ones. Since you likely have the same info in all of the boxes, as in my picture, just make one then duplicate it (Edit > Duplicate or ⌘ D).

Urgent report invoice problem

I have a serious problem with a invoice report that doesn't display all the lines and only prints on one page but the total is correct please help not a guru

Check the properties of your outer most frame in the report, vertical sizing should be variable, it is not a report generation problem but a printing problem that is why
your totals are correct.

Getting image viewer to fill an APDIV

Please t
ake a look at these links:
http://www.chuckland.com/doa_art/doa_home2.html
http://www.chuckland.com/doa_art/doa_home3.html
As is probably clear, I am trying to make the images in the center DIV automatically cycle.
In home 2 I used a FlevOOware extension, Trans slideshow. The problem is that the images don't change at regular intervals. It's not bad, but it's not what I'm shooting for.
In home 3 I used the Flash Image Viewer. The images change perfectly but I can't get the Flash Viewer to fill the DIV . . . I'm using the same images I used in home 2.
Can somebody tell me either A) How to fix the FlevOOware extension or How to make the Flash Vierer fill the screen or an entirely different way to do this.
Thanks for your help.

Collapse of Repeating frame

Hi friends,
My Problem is like this,
I have 3 repeating frames,
In Repeating frame one i have R.F two,
In Repeating frame two i have R.F three,
If i didnt find any data in Repeating frame
two and three i want to collapse all repeating frames,
How can i do this?
Please try to help me,
Thanks,
Have a great day,
srini

Hi guys,
Check the properties-sheet for the repeating frames and the group-repeating frames.
In the property sheet look for the vertical sizing property. Set it to variable. In that case if no records are found, no space is allocated for the frames. If you're using expand then a minimum space is allocated, i.e. if no records are found then the space in the lay-out editor your are using for displaying the repeating frame is allocated.
If there aren't any records in repeating frame 2 and 3 and you want to surpress repaeting frame 1 use summary-columns in the groups on which you base repating frame 2 and 3.
In the format-trigger of repating frame 1 use:
IF :<summary_column> = 0
THEN
RETURN (FALSE);
ELSE
RETURN (TRUE);
END IF;
Hope this helps...

Error type 1

I have a Power Mac G3/266 running OS 9.1 with a 21" Apple Studio Display
I am having some horizontal and vertical sizing issues probably because I don't have the software that came with the monitor. To fix the problem, I downloaded Apple Displays 1.7.1 which is suppose to work for my monitor. I downloaded Apple Displays 1.7.1 to my iMac(Intel) then networked the two computers then copied the file into my G3. The program did not self extract so I used an extraction program to get to the Apple Displays Installer. Once the installation was complete, I tryied to run the program and it immediately spit out something like "the program Apple Studio Displays 1.7.1 could not be opened because an error of type one occurred..."
Can Anyone Help??

Hi, DJ -
I believe the Apple Displays Software 1.7.1 you downloaded is not intended for use in OS 9. From the download page for it, the OS Required listings are -
Mac OS 8.0, 8.1, 8.5, or 8.5.1
Given that the last time that article was updated was 2003, if it were intended for use in OS 8.6 or later, it would have been changed to reflect that.
According to the manual for that monitor, its geometry can be adjusted using the Geometry function in the Monitors control panel (the article refers to a combined Monitors & Sound control panel, but that has been replaced in OS 9 by separate control panels, one for Monitors, another for Sound).
If you no longer have a manual for that monitor, you can view/download a PDF copy of it from this link -
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/StudioDisplay_21inchCRTSetup.PDF
If the Geometry button does not appear in the Monitors control panel, make sure the following items are enabled (checkmarked) in Extensions Manager control panel -
ColorSync [control panels]
Monitors [control panels]
Apple Monitor Plugins [Extensions]
Color Sync Extension [Extensions]
Default Calibrator [Extensions]
If you need to turn any of those items on, restart after doing so.
As I recall, the monitor's USB cable should also be connected to the Mac.

Complex Reporting Requirement

I have four reports that need to run in sequence; Parameters are supplied to the first report and then passed to the second, second passes to third and on.... I've tried using the srw.run_report but get a runtime error after the first report runs and no subsequent reports are produced. I have this call in the after report trigger. I need all these reports, in sequence, to write/append to the same print file. These are to be high quality, published books. Also, I notice when generating output to different formats, pdf, eps, html etc. that the cell borders skew badly - only when I print direct from reports do the lines format correctly. I use centimeters for the layout and have 200 snaps per cm. Are there standard ruler settings that will allow consistent formatting when generating various types of print files.

I need all these reports, in sequence, to write/append to the same print file. Since you're creating high quality, published books, the only output formats that would be applicable are Postscript/PCL & PDF output. Unfortunately, Reports doesn't allow you to write/append the output from multiple reports to a single file with these outputs. (It actually doesn't allow you on any output but you can workaround the issues with other formats such as HTML).
Since Reports doesn't support your current architecture, it seems that you need to change how you're running your reports. I don't know why you have 4 separate reports but I'm guessing it's because you have 4 page style layouts that you couldn't fit into 1 layout report page(?)
If this is the case, you can actually have layouts objects that extends vertically beyond the page boundary. You just need to make sure that they will end up within the page boundary when they are printed. You aren't restricted to the physical page size when designing the report, only when running it.
In your case, you can combine each of your layouts into a single Report one after the other. Then place a frame around each of the 4 page layouts and make sure their vertical sizing is variable. (Also make sure the frames are beneath all the other objects using the "send to back" option).
What you're doing is creating an implicit anchor between these variable sized frames. When the first frame finishes printing, the other frames will move up to where the first frame was.
The above method will allow you to keep everything in a single report and produce your combined output. You can also turn on/off the frames using format triggers if you want to run any of the layouts individually.

My bookmarks open in some kind of quarter sized vertical screen (abt. 2" wide); how do I get it to full screen?

I click on bookmarks; the drop down menu opens; I click on a bookmark; it opens in less than a quarter screen occupying 2 vertical inches on the left side of my screen. I can scroll from the left to right via the task bar at the bottom of this screen but there are no visible icons for simply enlarging this screen. Very annoying!

Every bookmark that opens in the sidebar probably has '''"Load this bookmark in the sidebar"''' selected in Bookmark Properties. <br />
''see the image below''
You can access "Properties" by right-clicking each of the bookmarks that are opening in the sidebar. That "box" usually gets check-marked as a result of using a "Bookmark this Page" link on a webpage, rather than using "Bookmark This Page" from within Firefox.

Strange Vertical lines and pixelation issues with my Powerbook screen...Hel

I have got a problem with mt LCD screen which now permanently displays lines of "dead" pixels, but they can't be dead because they chaneg all the time. If I move a window, I get lots more, which are created by the edge of the window, like a ghosting? Does that make sense?
I have taken a screen grab, but not sure how to feature it in these forums. Anyone got any ideas or know about this problem?
I have had a similar problem with this and other laptops, but it has always been a temporary thing before, when I had overloaded the system or something, and I got 'ghosting' from the trailing edge of a window, but this is permanently there?

I have now attached a monitor to the PB, and it happens on the monitor too...maybe suggesting something wrong with the graphics card or logic board, rather than the screen itself. When I type this message, I get strange red 'ghosting' lines where the cursor moves across the page.It reminds me of the 'Etch-o-sketch' game, where you draw lines, and then wipe them off. I can move a window from left to right and get these ghosting lines. When I move the window back right to left, they erase the lines to the left of the window, but I get more to the trailing right edge of the window...i.e. on the right of the screen.
Scrolling also removes these pixels, but creates new ones elsewhere.
Any ideas?

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome. Works in IE. This is my first time trying to post a question - so please be kind. I am also not good with code and am finding css a real challenge after learning to design based on tables. I'm using CS5.
The "test" page with the slide show is: http://www.reardanwa.com/index-slides.html   The same page without the slide show is http://www.reardanwa.com/
I realize the images are not ideally sized - I'll fix those once I get the pages to function. Maybe I need a different slide show? I would prefer a widget that I can modify to required size & postition. Again - I'm not good at building with code from scratch.
The problem is the naviagation links that are directly next to the slide show do not work in Firefox of Chrome. They do work in IE.
I've read about using jQuery.noConflict(); code but can't figure out the correct way to use it in my case or whether that's even part of the solution. I know my code is not well organized as I have cobbled together from various sources in an attempt to format the page the way the client wants it. Also, FYI, I will eventually try to make the page work in Surreal CMS.
I've spent sevaral days over the last several weeks trying to solve sth slide show/navigation conflict - so any specific light you can shed will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

If you DO want the slideshow overlaping the navigation try the below css:
.sidebar1 {
    float: left;
    width: 225px;
    margin: 60px 0px 60px 60px;
    color: #FFFF0D;
    background: #595FFF;
    border-radius: 13px;
    -moz-border-radius: 13px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 13px;
    padding: 5px 5px 0px 5px;
    border: 3px solid #F7F723;
.box {
float: left;
margin-left:-60px;
width:700px;
height:350px;
border-radius: 13px;
-moz-border-radius: 13px;
-webkit-border-radius: 13px;

How Do I: Remove White Background From a Non-Standard Sized PDF?

Hello. Been a little while since I was last here.
My issue is pretty simple. I am creating a PDF in Acrobat Pro X from MS-Word 2007. My document is landscaped half-page sized (US), so dimensions are: 8.5" wide, 5.5" high.
When I attempt to print to PDF, the dimensions come out correctly, but there is a white background which is the size of a landscaped 8.5" x 11" sheet. Against this background, the 8.5" x 5.5" area is situated (nearly) centered vertically, but "right-justified" horizontally (see image). I need to find out how to fix this.
Here's what I know:
In MS Word:
For "Page Setup" (under Page Layout tab):
- under Margins tab, orientation is landscape;
- under Paper tab, "Paper size" is "Custom size", with Width 8.5", Height 5.5" ;
- No changes under Layout tab.
For "Preferences" (under Acrobat tab)
- under Settings tab, "Conversion Settings" are a custom setting ("Advanced Settings"), with "Default Settings" of Width 8.5 inches and Height 5.5 inches.
When I Print > Adobe PDF:
For "Properties" in Print window:
- Under Layout tab, "Orientation" is "Landscape" ;
- Under Paper/Quality tab, "Paper Source" is custom with Width 8.5" and Height 5.5".
- Under Adobe PDF Settings tab, "Default Settings" is "High Quality Print (Custom)" with (Custom) being the settings I set under Acrobat > Preferences.
- Also under Adobe PDF Settings tab, "Adobe PDF Page Size" is custom with Width 8.5" and Height 5.5".
The result is pictured above.
The last thing I did before posting this was run Help > Repair Acrobat Installation in Adobe X. Any suggestions? You can't do worse than I have.

Ideas for HELP sizing a background menu photo in iDVD6

Hey gang. I'm authoring in iDVD6 and have a photo with DVD credits that I want to display as a menu background. iDVD6 tells you to size your photos for NTSC 4:3 at 720 x 540 pixels. However, when I drop it onto the menu, it automatically enlarges the image so that there's only a partial view of the image. The only adjustment that can be made is vertically. I've even tried shrinking the image with text and mounting it on a matte so that it appears in the TV safe viewing area, but no luck there. Same thing happens. Any ideas? If someone want to mess around with the image, let me know and i'll email it to you. Thanks. -nate

hi nate,
i use photoshop to create my idvd backgrounds.
I size the backgrounds at 720 x 534 pixels in photoshop,
and "save as" .jpg.
they fit my idvd menu perfectly.
no re-sizing needed!
hope this helps

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer.
There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9. It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions. When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen.
