How to setup column width to number of characters in Oracle report builder?

Hello there,

I tried to setup a report by using Oracle Reports Builder 11.2.0.4.0 and the report is required to have certain number of characters in width.  Here is what I tried:

  • When I use report wizard, I can setup the width for labels, such 10 for C1 and 100 for C2, as example.
  • When I run the report, the the output for column C1 and C2 are not 10 and 100 characters.
  • When I convert the report to character mode, by using Tools/File conversion, the result still has incorrect number of characters.

It seems to me that the unit for width of labels in report wizard is not character.  So how can I get the correct number of characters by using Oracle reports builder?

Howdy, Stranger!
