hi all,

i have developed my application in oracle 9i in windows 2000 environment. i want to print the reports in "character mode" on dot matrix printer.
how to do this ?.
i have given the runtime paratmeter as
Set_Report_Object(repid,Report_other,'mode=CHARACTER')
but it gives an error rep-1920 character mode runtime incompatible with DESFORMAT of PDF,HTML,HTMLCSS,RTF

i need to transfer the application into solaris 8i system. if the character mode printing is not available under windows environment is it possible to print the reports in character mode is the reports are in solaris system?

thanks for the help,


TSN

The message is clear: PDF/HTML etc. make no sense in CHARACTER mode. You'll need to change the DESFORMAT to TXT or TEXT (I don't have Reports laying around but search for it in the help). You'll need a desformat that holds no information about the font...

Why reposting the original question. I thought the answer was clear?

I have the same error message however in beforereport trigger I am setting:

:MODE := 'DEFAULT'
:DESFORMAT :='PDF'

The idea is to allow the user to choose whether he wants the report output in pdf or in txt.

The error I see for when the user choses pdf is:

"Character mode runtime incompatible with DESFORMAT PDF'

However I am specifically setting :MODE to 'DEFAULT' and not 'CHARACTER'.
