Oracle Reports Building Reports 10g (9.0.4) Part Number B10602-01 |
|
The chapters in this Part provide steps to build reports that include special formatting. The example reports show you how to wrap text data, add headers and footers, format headers with database values that change at runtime, renumber pages, include intermixed fields, suppress labels, use conditional text, and add text, color, or graphics to your report.
This part contains the following chapters:
A wrapped field report wraps the data on word boundaries if it is too long to fit in one line.The report contains a field that is of a fixed horizontal width but can expand vertically if the contents of the break field are longer than the specified width. The contents of the fields are not truncated.
A header and footer report contains boilerplate or fields in the header or footer section. This report has a page header printed in the upper margin area of every page of the report and a footer printed at the end.
A conditional form letter report generates two different form letters from one report. Since the two letters share common features, it is more convenient to create a base form letter and then apply conditions to certain parts. The conditions will determine whether the part should display for the current record.
Conditional highlighting draws attention to specific data in a report by using visual formatting. You can use Reports Builder or the PL/SQL Editor to create a format trigger that changes the appearance of retrieved data depending on factors you define. For example, you can display amounts greater than 1000 in red.
