Unfortunately, I have found the same behavior when setting up reports on the Mid-Tier. As labeled in the field setup, the column width is for (Windows only) apparently. Just like you said, the report displays as desired but the data is cut-off when printed.
The workaround I use is to build my column-like Mid-Tier reports in CSV format. This way I can format or save however I want, once I run the report. Hope that helps, Michelle Environment: Mid-Tier 7.0.01 Patch 1 (Windows 2003/IIS 6/IE6/Apache Tomcat/Java 1.6) ARS 6.3 Patch 20 (Windows 2003/SQL Server 2000) -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of L Feulner Sent: Monday, February 12, 2007 9:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Column Width problem when printing web arr report ARS 6.3 Windows 2003 Midtier 7 Patch 2 IE 6 Oracle 10g HD 6 We have an .arr report for solutions that our requests can use to print solutions from the web. When they press the Print button on the solutions form from the web, the arr report is displayed in IE. The report shows the solution number, the summary and the details of the solution. You can scroll to the right to see the entire summary and description if they are lengthy and the fields have no carriage return. The problem is column width when printing. When they choose File>>Print in IE, if the solution summary and /or description fields don't have a carriage return or are length they truncate. People on the client use these same solutions. If the solution summary and/or description fields are short enough it is not a problem but frequently they are longer than 30 characters. I've tried changing the report from portrait to landscape and more is captured when printing but is still truncated. We don't want to have to add carriage returns to all the solutions and somehow make sure people add carriage returns at a certains point. I've changed the .arr file field widths but these changes do not show up on the web. I logged into the web config tool and looked at Report Settings. There weren't any settings to check. Changed AR User Preference form for my userid, even though I'm using the web. At the report tab, changed width for reports. This made no difference when on the web. Tried changing the arr report to narrower columns, displaying columns, displaying records, and long fields wrapped. The web ignores these settings. The AL on the print button shows Report Type: AR System, Target: Screen, Operation: Run, Location: Reporting form Name: Name in the Report form Location is New How can I get the solution .arr report on the web to use report column widths in the report or at least fit on the page when printing? ________________________________________________________________________ _______ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:"Where the Answers Are" _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:"Where the Answers Are"
