REP-0999 Unimplemented Error

430018Jan 3 2005 — edited Jul 15 2009
I was pointed to this forum for a possible solution to my problem. I have an Oracle Forms v. 6.x.x.x.x application that calls an Oracle Reports v. 6.x.x.x.x report and passes a lexical parameter to the report. When the user attempts to send the report output to an RTF via the Report Previewer, they get this REP-0999 error.

They can send the output to a MS Doc, but the output is not in a very friendly format ... i.e. the output doc is formatted like a MS Doc table and it requires considerable manual editing to be put into a useable format.

I had hoped that the RTF option would be a work around, but users with newer machines get the REP-0999 error and users with some older machines are usually able to perform the task.

My questions are:

1. Will upgrading our version of Oracle (8), forms and reports v6, help with this issue?

2. Can anyone suggest a way for me to give users a convenient way to output report output into an editable format using Word, Textpad, Notepad, etc?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi Ron,

You might be hitting a bug (REP-999 WHEN USING GENERATE TO FILE IN THE REPORT PREVIEWER) which was filed in Reports version 6.0.5.33.0

This bug was fixed in Reports version 6.0.5.36

Since Oracle Reports 6.0.5 was de-supported in Jul 2002 (currently on Extended Assistance Support till Jul 2005), I'm not sure whether appplying the latest patch will be the best strategy. You could migrate to Oracle Reports 10g to be on a currently supported version.

You can view de-support notices and also get patches for 6.0.5 if you want from Metalink:

I am using Developer Reports v. 6.0.8.11.3. When I attempt to generate the report output to an PDF I get this error for one or two report but other reports are getting generated.

Please tell me if there is any solution.

Hi Sidharth,

The following bug was reported on Reports 6.0.8.13

BUG 1721658 - REP-0999 IF RUN RWRUN60.EXE FROM COMMANDLINE AT GENERATE TO FILE FROM PREVIEWER

This was fixed in Reports 6.0.8.20

So I would suggest you upgrade to the latest patch of 6i. You can find patches on Metalink:

Hi,

- go to https://metalink.oracle.com/
- Click on "Register For MetaLink";
- Insert your "Support Identifier" number and choose your country then clik on proceed.

You MUST have a support identifier number, otherwise you can't register on MetaLink.

Bye

hello,

you are calling the report thru a form.
so before calling, you r also sending some parameters.
so, check your parameter values - if they have any space, or special characters in it.

example - parameter "country"
if it has a value "united kingdom" then you'll face the rep-0999 problem.
if it has a value "india", without any space in it, you wont get the above problem.

remedy: instead of passing "United Kingdom", pass a value like "UK", and then in report,
afterparameter form trigger, decode it to "United Kingdom".


Thank you, all. :)
