Reports & Discoverer :: Control Pages Dynamically Before Printing?
May 23, 2011
I just want to ask that can we code number of pages to be printed before printing the report?
Like if we use report builder software of oracle to print a report, this will ask that how many pages you want to print and no of copies you want to make for this report as normally asked with other software before printing.
Actually, I am stuck with a complex query report where every single page has different query to execute. The problem with my report is that when ever user prints the report, the last page comes empty with the page header, no data in it.
What I want is to code, if possible, to print the report avoiding the last page to print. So that every time I can able to control printing pages. For example if report has 10 pages and definitely has data on 9 pages then it can only print up to 9 pages rather than going to print 10 pages.
so i will give 10 invoices with dates in the above parameters to generate the report, actually the report prints in a pre-printed sheet, well it prints the first page correctly but the second page and continuous pages not printing in the exact pre-printed area. example see below;
(Page2) 506176 28/11/2011 (Preprinted text)INVOICE NO : INVOICE DATE:
how to give spaces between pages actually every pages it should print 3 to 4 inches gap between the first page but it prints just one inch above the preprinted area. how to make it print without gaps. Additional Information: Preprinted sheet Height 17 inches.
Paper Layout Width 8.5 Height 12
Character Mode
Report Width 80 Report Height 72
for header section, main and trailer sections above readings only given.
I am creating report a using emp table .There are 14 rows in emp table , i want to print output into two pages . If i set FILTER TYPE Property to 5 ,it only shows 5 records .
For M1, R1 and F1 I have set print object on All Pages and base printing on Enclosing Object. After running the report, output is only one page and consists of 7 rows. But as per the query it should have fetched 21 rows.
When I have changed print object on property to First Page, it output is 2 pages and consists of all 21 records.So, why print object on All Pages generating only one page while print object on First Page generating 2 pages?
I would like to create a report specifying to few page numbers. Currently the report generates with all data for say e.g. 300 pages. I want this(original_300pages) report also i want copy of the same report with only first 20 pages.
how to display data in tabular format but the printing direction is down/cross? I managed to change set printing direction but the column header is not showing on the cross section.
I expect:
Header1 Header 2 Header1 Header2 John India Max Singapore
But it displays without header name on the next part.
Header1 Header 2 John India Max Singapore
And also is that possible for matrix query to be printed in down/cross direction like above?
By setting the parameters in set_report_object_property parameters we can disable the printing option in 11g. Do we have some kind of option , to do the same in 10g.
Can viewing and direct printing the report become same? I always find some differences not in the data but the layout of the report. the layout of report that is viewed on the monitor through internet explorer is slightly displaced and small fonts compared with the report printed directly to the printer without viewing it on the screen.
I am trying to create a report, but for the second page its trying to print the text from the middle of the page, i.e its cutting half line, suppose if the line has description 'HELLO WORLD 123456' I see only 123456, the whole report is cutting the first 15 characters for the second page?
I am using oracle developer suit(form 10g), Using OLE2 object to initialize excel, On "BEFORE REPORT TRIGGER" i am printing report heading in excel using OLE2 objects only. if i run report from developer suit report builder it give output in excel normally and what expected but when ever i put same report on server and run report from application it gives error :
I want to print two record of emp table in same line number in tabular format report.
For example if i have emp table and I want to print empno,ename,sal columm only,In tabular format report, Two record should print per line. so If emp table have 14 record report should be printed on 7 rows.
so the output in print preview should be like this
EMPNO ENAME SAL EMPNO ENAME SAL ------ ---------- ---------------------------------------------- 7369 SMITH 800 7499 ALLEN 1600 7521 WARD 1250 7566 JONES 2975 7654 MARTIN 1250 7698 BLAKE 2850 . . . .
1) I am able to view the oracle report in PDF format in my Web Application, but when I tried to print this PDF on Line matrix printer, the characters are not printing rightly.
2) Can I take report output as a text file and and print it through DOS mode printing.
I have a requirement while A4 printing..When printing each time user have to select file -> page setup -> size(A4)..THEN printing format become A4 Size. How to achieve this one without user have to go on setting.
when I am trying to send report for prints then I received this error.
" REP-57054: In-Process Job terminated: The report generated successfully but distribution to destination failed. REP-50159:The report generated Successfully but distribution to destination failed. REP-50151: Destination ID Currency failed with error An error occured while sending the file to the printer :HPofficejetpro7700Series- Cannot run program "COrcaleMiddlewareasinst_5Config eportsin wlpr":

where I have to display the value of current cell in next following cells.The table structure is as follows :
ttdate - date individualplanid - varchar(10); - train number sch_deptime - number(8); - scheduled departure time in milli seconds sch_arrtime - number(8); - scheduled arrival time in milli seconds stn - varchar(10); - station short name dep_delay - number(8); - dep delay in milli seconds arr_delay - number(8); - arr delay in milli seconds
The delay is filled continuously by application software continuously.I want to make a query where I want a calculated field which does the prediction of train arrival on coming stations. This shall be done as the delay + sch_deptime for all the next stations. Following is a dataset :
The last column (EAT) is calculated one. It shall be like as the dep_delay is updated the EAT for the following records shall be sch_deptime + dep_ delay. I did was something like this. The calculated field is cum_depdelay which is only the delay ( not sch_deptime + dep_delay ).
select ttdate,individualplanid td,station,sch_deptime,sch_arrtime,act_depdelay, sum(act_depdelay) over ( partition by individualplanid order by sch_deptime rows between current row and unbounded following ) c_depdelay from logtime where ttdate='14-Mar-2011' and individualplanid='BO646' order by sch_deptime,sch_arrtime; [code]...
I'm presently creating a Graph on a repeating frame.
I made a query with a group that pointing to the repeating frame.
The problem : I want to change dynamically the Y and X axis Title.
The graph accept user parameter inside the XML file. But how to make it dynamically based on SQL query?
I try with formula, but can't make it work with a group. I have to put the formula at Report Level, but to make it dynamically for each group i have to make it work at the group Level.
Is there a free software or tool for oracle reports version control? I need to maintain versions for Oracle reports and PL/SQL codes but not sure how to proceed.
How I control hte print job from Oracle Report. The problem is that If I do a report and print out, there should not be allowed to any user to print again. Here I also want to control the user list who can print a report.
I developed one form which having four tabs , i want one button control for all of them , I have been created buttons control individually for each tab , there is problem with navigation , query and clear the form .
I'm developing now in 11g and i have some reports that i want to send directly to the printer. I been having some troubles and as i searched the web, i saw that for 9i and 10g, this was not possible without using orarrp. But i can't find any info about this for 11g. Is this true that i can only let user print direct using this tool? Plus, is this tool available for linux x64? Can i add the printer to the server and would it work now?
