When you run a .rep file, the PL/SQL is already compiled and will not be recompiled. If you are running a .rdf file, the PL/SQL is automatically recompiled, if necessary (if the report wasn't compiled and saved from Reports Builder or the platform or release on which you were running the report is incompatible with the platform on which it was last compiled and saved).
SQL scripts shipped with Reports Builder are also files with extension
.sql
.
Oracle Corporation does not support documents that have been modified by
editing .rex
or .pld
files.
Printer definition files are used only by reports run in a character-mode environment or reports run with the Reports Builder ASCII Driver. For reports that run on bit-mapped platforms, printer codes and printer definitions are ignored, as their function is replaced by the settings available from the Format menu (for example, font and weight).
When you export an object from Reports Builder to CGM, the object may be broken into multiple objects in CGM. For example, if you export a rectangle that has a fill pattern, this object will become two objects in CGM. One object is created for the rectangle itself and one object for the fill pattern.
Depending upon the options you specify, Reports Builder may generate any of the following files:
profiler log file
error log file
trace log file
preferences file
