What do you consider to be a 'character base report'?

i am calling the report from form:
The code is

web.show_document('/reports/rwservlet?report='||mn||'
&userid='||'bar08'||'/'||'bar08'||'@'||'san48'||'
&desformat=pdf&destype=cache&mode=character
&P_BRANCH='||:PUR_HDR.BR_CODE||'
&PCOMP_CODE='||:PUR_HDR.COMP_CODE||'
&P_VNO='||:PUR_HDR.V_NO||'
&SHOW_DIFF_COMPARE_IN_GRN='||:SHOW_DIFF_IN_REPORT||'
&P_CAT_CODE='||:PUR_HDR.AC_CAT_CODE||'
&show_prod_cat_summary='||'Y'||'
&P_SHOW_ACT='||margin_markup||'
&server='||'rep_hpsrv13_OraBI'||'
&paramform=no','_blank');
END;

when i run the report i got the error

REP-1920: Character mode runtime incompatible with
DESFORMAT of PDF, HTML, HTMLCSS, SPREADSHEET or RTF.

I want to know that is there any way to call the character mode reports and view the output.

Thank U
Manoj

What happens if you don't specify the 'mode' parameter?

The same error.
I came to know that character base report cannot be called in pdf/html.
but one more thing that i want know is
how to use ORARRP ( ORAcle Reports Remote Printing) in web.show_documents for printing the report on node.

Thank U
Manoj.

Hi

If you use character mode reports in 10g then as you experienced you will face some problems. Best way you can overcome this issue is to install printers to server and send the character mode report with the help of a .prt file.

DESFORMAT = <name of the .prt file>
MODE = CHARACTER
DESTYPE = PRINTER
DESNAME = your printer name
.prt file you can copy into <your oracle home>/reports/printers location.

ORARRP is also a good solution that you can get the printout exactly the same way you did in 6i but the problem with ORARRP is you can't do that with network connected printers instead you have to share it to the local machine.

Produce the output as a text file and then use a 'prt' command via 'client_host' to output it.
