Reports & Discoverer :: Appending Data Fields To Text?
Jul 29, 2011
I know how to append fields to text, but how do I deal with the variable length? I want to place text on a report and inside the text I have data from two different fields. It works great except that my fields are 35 characters long. If the data fills the entire field it looks great, if the data is only 10 characters long, I have a huge gap between the end of the data and the text that follows. How do I fix this?
In my requirement i have to move a field from bottom to the first page of report. I try to drag the field but i think it's in multiple frame .i am very new to oracle how can i work with multiple frame in layout wizard.
I am trying to add fields from an SQL server database to the EUL. We have a lot of Oracle tables and fields in the existinging EUL, and we have created a database link from the Oracle database to the SQL database. But how can I find til SQL database tables and fields in Discoverer admin?
I am modifying an existing report. It's just a tabular format with column headers. I selected all fields and frames and turned confine mode and flex mode OFF. I need to add another column to this report so I tried to resize and then move some of the fields.
If I try to move the right side of a colum header/field in, to make it smaller, it won't let me. I can move the left side of the field in, but then it won't let me move the entire field or column header to the left. If I try to move a field over to the right, all the fields to the right side move along with it. Doesn't this normally only happen when flex or confine mode are ON?
I have a doubt; can we format a particular word in oracle reports at runtime..?
Ex:-
A text filed contains data Quote:We request #BANK# to finance the same Bill as per agreed interest rate and other terms and conditions agreed on the above addendum and immediately remit the proceeds to our account A/c no. #ACCOUNTNO#, held with your Bank.
We need to make #BANK#, #ACCOUNTNO# are bold at runtime, Is there any method to format characters at runtime..?
I have a report w/ master group and detail group and at the report level I would like to display a text based on a value of a field in the detail group. I created a column placeholder at the report level and then assigned it a field value in the detail group. I wanted to show my text based on this value, but it did not work.
I have a report that runs fine if I run it from the developer whether to preview or to file. The users are running this report from an Oracle Forms app and have a drop down for the destination format. If they run it to PDF for example, the report runs fine. If they run it to TXT132, TXT180, or TXT they get a "REP-1219 'FIELD_NAME' has no size -- length or width is zero".
Of course I am unable to get into the test application right now and as I mentioned above, I am unable to duplicate the error when I run the report from the developer. I am not sure why I would get a REP-1219 only when running to a Text file.
I'm working on a report (written with Oracle report builder 6i) for the SMS system.I want the the report results (list of mobile numbers) to be outputted directly into a text file.I have accomplished that with the following parameters:
DESTYPE = File DESNAME = C:file_name MODE = character
this work well for the first time but in the subsequent runs, the report rewrite the same file deleting the result from the run before.can I manage to have each run result written in separate file with the name formatted in specific way like (sms_parametervalue_date) or something. or at least is it possible to change the system parameter DESNAME via user parameter at runtime, so I can input the new file name into the parameter form.
How to create text file of report in 10g ? In reports 6i having default option in menu bar(mail). When clicking the mail option in reorts 6i it will attached to the outlook and we can sent. but in reports 10g not having that Option . It is possible in reports 10g?
I have a text field on my layout with 3 lines of text and plenty of space before the end of the text box. When I run the report the second line is shortened and the last two words are moved to the third line. Because I have a carriage return behind those two words, this then moves the original third line to the fourth line. Why does Oracle Reports do this when there is plenty of room and it looks fine in the layout?
I have one report requirement like below diagrams, My report having one repeating frame and one dynamic LOGO field. My repeating frame have 2 field say item_no, and item_name. This repeating frame will grow based on the items say min 1 to max 8 items.
My dynamic logo has some min and max movement position, Say in the below diagram my dynamic logo min movement position is line no 6 and max movement position is 9.
Suppose i have only 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 items then LOGO should fit in the line no 6, if i have 6 items then logo should come in the 7th line, if i have 7 items then logo should come in the 8th line ect.,like that max 8 item will come in the report, if items are 8 then logo should fit in the 9th line number. ---------------- 1|*****ITEM1****| 2|**************| 3|**************| 4|**************| 5|**************| 6|*****LOGO*****|-- MIN LOGO POSITION 7|**************| [code]......
I have a Report With Group G_Emp, having Columns Eno, Ename etc. in a Repeating frame R_1 and I have put A frame below this repeating frame R_1 with a Text Item Just for Displaying Comments, so just i want to display this Text Item in the second page and the Employee details in the first page, the restriction is that the Text item should not print in the first page.
Well i like to display the Values in Boiler Plate/Text. For Example, i have Report with Address Columns. for Tin No: i have Hard coded as TIN: 34XXXXXX01 and i like to change this hard coded item as TIN: 34XXXXXX02 so during Runtime if the input is changed the above item to be changed.

Without this, the query returns nothing. The problem is I am using this query as a custom query for my Discoverer report and my report does not show any record.

I have developed a screen using oracle forms.... it has 4 text fields..then a LOAD button.After giving i/p in the 4 text boxes user will save (ctl+S) ..then hit LOAD button ,which will populate the fields below the screen.Everything is working fine but only problem I am facing...when user is trying to save (ctl+S) after giving the 4 i/ps in the text fields....the text fields getting disappeared and also becoming editable...though the data they have already given is being populated in the table..I want ..even after pressing ctl+S...the data should be there & non-editable.
how to dynamically populate text fields.For eg, i have a lov with employee no, as soon as a no is selected next text field with employee name will be populated.
How to have a dynamic action populate text fields. When the create button is hit, it will insert the record in the DB like normal.
I had a search box doing a dynamic action when a record_number is entered and the selection changes It populates the remaining text boxes with the results of the record_number.
I used a "SET_VALUE" true action on each individual ITEM
For each individual item i have different SQL Statement populating that item.
Ex. To populate Last_Name/ P2_LAST_NAME item i do the following
Select LAST_NAME from patient_Demographics where record_id = :P2_RECORD_ID
Affected Elements: P2_LAST_NAME
So i have about 8 of these true statements, so i'm hitting the DB 8 times to get the individual items. Is there a way to hit the DB once and set the items using one PL/SQL statement? I tried using a PL/sql function body,
I have one table storing all the information about employye, i have to develop three different reports based on the same table with different groupings , is there a easy way to call each format differently using single interface ,something like ref cursor.I dont want to create two or 3 different reports , instead choose the format.
If I am using the DESFORMAT=DELIMITED then I am getting unformated data and some time I am getting less data as per PDF output.
