Problems With Characters When A Report Is Printed

May 19, 2008

I am using SQL 2005 reporting to produce reports for my employer. I have run into a problem with characters not printing properly after a report is generated. On a report of names, the last name "O'Neil" is being printed "O?Neil" (without the quotes) the ' is being replaced by a ? character. This problem only happens in one section of the report and not in other sections. The report looks correct (ie: The name is O'Neil) on a screen view and when exporting the data to Excel and as a pdf file both have the name "O'Neil" displayed properly.

Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

Request Report And Have It Printed.

May 22, 2008

Hello,

Is it possible for me to pass some parameters to the ssrs server and the server create the report and spit it out on a specified printer?

I have a situation where I am very limited in regards to rendering and printing. So, if I could just give ssrs some commands and it do the rest, that would be awesome.

Does anyone know if this is possible.

Thanks.

Pagesize Of Report Is Much Larger Than Expected When Printed

Jun 14, 2006

I created a report with RS in VS.NEt and set the width and height to 8.5in by 11in from the property window. When I designed it , everything fit on one page nice and neat.

When printed it prints on two pages and the font size comes out much larger than expected. The whole document seems to have been blown up bigger and the right side of the document has been cut off. Why is this? Do I need to configure vs.net to print????

Am I missing some setting somewhere?

Other documents print out fine on this printer, so it is not the printer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you

this seems small but if I can't get the report to print out right then..........

Printed Report From Webserver Doesn't Match The PDF Export Print.

Apr 17, 2007

Hi there,



I got this weird problem and I was wondering whether anyone has an idea of how to resolve this.



I have a working report on the RS server, ran the report and tried to print it straight from the page by clicking on the Print button.

When it printed, it gave me additional pages as though the margins were incorrect. I have additional space on the left of the report, which pushes it out towards the right (very slight but noticable) which ended up printing "blank pages" ( basically only the page header). Moreover it didn't print any of the page footers ( which has the page numbers).



The weird part is that, I tried to export it to PDF format, and when I take a look at the pdf version, it looked fine with no formatting errors. Even printing the pdf works great.



I was wondering whether there was some bug with the RS Server or do I need to do somethin with the config file ? please advise. thanks !

Reporting Services :: Strip Unwanted Characters From Parameters For SSRS Report

May 22, 2015

I have a third party app that passes parameters (main dataset query) from the app to SSRS.  Unfortunately, when the parameters are passed from the app they will contain equal signs ("=") in front of each parameter.  For example, the parameters that may be passed to the main dataset query should be:

"HYDRO, OKO, ONEPL, TECHNI"

However, the parameters that are passed from the app, get to SSRS as:

"=HYDRO, =OKO, =ONEPL, =TECHNI"

Again, this is for the main dataset query and there may be one parameter or there may be any number of them.

Basically, I need to strip the "=" signs from the parameters. whether there is one parameter or ten.

I believe that I will need a custom function to strip the equal signs?

SSIS: Set Header Printed When Writing To A Flat File From A Variable

Jun 13, 2007

I have a variable defined as "Country". Based on the value, the header row printed needs to be different.



I've already created a 'HeaderRow' variable that I'm able to set using a script task. But how can you set the Header text value at run time from the variable? There is no expression defined for the Header with the Flat File Destination object, and when I attempt to reference the HeaderRow variable as the Header text, the variable name is printed as the header.



Another approach I tried was to write the Header Row separately through another data flow task, but the issue here is: what is the input source when all you have is a Country variable?

Modifying A Report Created In Report Builder In The Report Designer.

Jun 30, 2006

After I use the report builder to create a generic report, how do I actually get that report into the report designer so that I can modify it more effectivly?



The issue that I have now is that the file on the report server is not a .rdl file and if I simply save it as one and then bring it into VS to modify it the code file is a html structure rater than a XML file type.



Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Accentuated Characters SQL

Dec 5, 2003

I use Webmatrix together with Frontpage 2002.
In one of my Webmatrix pages I refer to a field "Prénom" when doing queries.

Sometimes after publishing these pages from my local to my hosted server the é disappears in the source code and SQL server does not find the column.

I have the feeling it has to do with codepage and/or Content.

Has anyone a precise idea.

Select Characters Between...

May 19, 2005

Ok.. I inhertited a program that has columns called cpt_codes, cpt_to, and cpt_from all of them are varchar fields. The user can input a cpt code and the program checks to see if it fall between cpt_to and cpt_from so00101 would fall betwen 00100 and 00110. The problem these are varchars so the user has a code 0024t and is pulling up between 00100 and 01999 which is techinically correct. However thats not where it's supposed to be. Is there a way to get around this? the sql statement currently in place is:SELECT * fROM CPT_TOS WHERE CPT_FROM <= '0024T' AND CPT_TO >= '0024T'*Not my sql statement or design!!" ThanksRobert.

Can't Insert Enough Characters...

Sep 30, 2005

I must be doing something wrong, but I cannot imagine what it could be. I made a brand new table and started to enter some data. I am putting the initail data in using Enterprise Manager. This is essentially test data for development. I have several varchar columns set to 8000 for their size. When I try to enter text into them it is getting truncated at 999 characters. I thought that maybe I misunderstood the varchar type and that 1000 characters is 8000 bits and that is what the 8000 means. So, I redid the table with the datatype "text" for my long columns. Same thing. It is being truncated at 999. Is there something I am missing here? I am not trying to do anything tricky or confusing, I am simply trying to put more than 1000 characters into a table column.I should mention that I have been pasting the text that is copied from Notepad (to remove any extranous formatting). The text cuts cut off and I cannot even type in the column after that.Any clues would really be appreciated.

Extraneous Characters

Jun 7, 2001

problem:

Previously I had a problem inserting symbols like an umlaut into a SQL7 DB. The umlaut symbol like in the name [Björk] was translated into [Bj÷rk] when the data was bcp'd in. I was able to solve this problem by changing the registry codepage setting for the "OEMCP" from '437' to '1252'.

Fine...but now i have problems with symbols like [é] in the name [Mel Tormé]. The [é] on [Tormé] is changing to [T].....[Mel TormT].

Is there any way of accomidating SQL7 to allow both types of symbols?

thanks for the help...

Returning > 255 Characters

We just upgraded to SQL 7.0 SP2. We enlarged one of our fields from varchar(255) to varchar(500), but when I do a SELECT on the field it only brings back 255. I know this was a limitation in ISQL in 6.5. I tried it in query analyzer and also via a command line. Any ideas how to see all the data?

Convert Characters

Jul 9, 2001

I've created a procedure that converts chracters that I don't want in a certain field in my db.
The problems is: it also converts characters that I haven't specified
For example: the letter y is converted to u (probably because the letter ü (german y) is to be converted to u (ü is pronounced as y)).
Does anyone have a solution for this ? Has soundex something to do with this ?

Regards
Carl Nilsson


Here's a sample of the script:

--script begin

CREATE proc bds_convert_names @pass_name varchar(100), @NameStr varchar(100) OUTPUT
as



DECLARE @NotAllowed varchar(100)
DECLARE @IsAllowed varchar(100)
DECLARE @OldChar char(1)
DECLARE @NewChar char(1)
DECLARE @Loop int

-- NAMESTR = Contains the string that should be translated.
SELECT @NameStr = @pass_name
-- Set the name to Lower Cases
SELECT @NameStr = LOWER(@NameStr)

-- Set the characters not allowed
SELECT @NotAllowed = '/:*?"<>|,åäöéèáàûüôî'
-- Set which characters that should replace them
SELECT @IsAllowed = '**********aaoeeaauuoi'
-- Set Loop start to zero
SELECT @Loop = 0

-- Start looping, char by char, replacing direct into NAMESTR
WHILE @Loop < LEN(@NotAllowed)
BEGIN
SELECT @Loop = @Loop + 1
SELECT @OldChar = SUBSTRING(@NotAllowed, @Loop, 1)
SELECT @NewChar = SUBSTRING(@IsAllowed, @Loop, 1)
SELECT @NameStr = REPLACE(@NameStr, @OldChar, @NewChar)
END


-- Remove all stars
SELECT @NameStr = REPLACE(@NameStr, '*', '')
GO

--script end
