Prerequisites
You should be familiar with your computer and its operating system.
For example, you should know the commands for deleting and
copying files and understand the concepts of search paths,
subdirectories, and path names. Refer to your Microsoft Windows 95
or NT and DOS product documentation for more information.
You should also understand the fundamentals of Microsoft
Windows, such as the elements of an application window. You
should also be familiar with such programs as the Explorer, Taskbar
or Task Manager, and Registry.
Notational Conventions
The following typographical conventions are used in this guide:
Convention Meaning
fixed-width font
Text in a fixed-width font indicates commands
that you enter exactly as shown. Text typed on a
PC is not case-sensitive unless otherwise noted.
In commands, punctuation other than brackets
and vertical bars must be entered exactly as
shown.
lowercase

Lowercase characters in a command statement
represent a variable. Substitute an appropriate
value.
UPPERCASE
Uppercase characters within the text represent
command names, SQL reserved words, and
keywords.
boldface
Boldface is used to indicate user interface items
such as menu choices and buttons.

ACTION
New Feature: It is now more convenient to set this attribute using the SRW.SET_PDF_ACTION
procedure. Setting this attribute via SRW.SET_ATTR is still supported for compatibility, but it is
highly recommended that you use the new, simplified procedure.
Description Is a command line that will be executed on the local machine when the object is
clicked in the PDF viewer.
Note: An object that is associated with an action cannot also be the source of a Web link.
Values
Any valid command line on the local machine (e.g., c:\orawin\bin\rwrun60
userid=scott/tiger report=example.rdf or /usr/local/bin/phone smith)
ACTION restrictions
n ACTION is only available for PDF output.
n ACTION should only be set in the following triggers:
n Format
ACTION example
Note: This example illustrates using SRW.SET ATTR to set the ACTION attribute. It is now more
convenient to set this attribute using the SRW.SET_PDF_ACTION procedure. Setting this
attribute via SRW.SET_ATTR is still supported for compatibility, but it is highly recommended
that you use the new, simplified procedure.
/* The format trigger below defines an “action” (in
** this case a call to the Reports Runtime) that
** should be executed when the user clicks on the
** boilerplate object B_2.
*/
function B_2FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
srw.attr.mask := srw.ACTION_ATTR;
srw.attr.action := 'c:\orawin\bin\rwrun60' ||

'userid=scott/tiger ' ||
'report=example.rdf';
srw.set_attr(0,srw.attr);
return (TRUE);
end;
Report Builder Reference 5
AFTCODE
New Feature: It is now more convenient to set this attribute using the
SRW.SET_AFTER_PRINTING_CODE procedure. Setting this attribute via SRW.SET_ATTR is
still supported for compatibility, but it is highly recommended that you use the new, simplified
procedure.
Description Is a reference to the printer escape sequence to be executed after each line of the
object. The printer escape sequence is inserted after the object is triggered to print but before it
has actually printed. AFTCODE is only used when running your report in character-mode.
Values
A string of the form &number, where number is a number assigned to a packaged Report Builder
printer escape sequence or a printer escape sequence that you created.
Report Builder Reference6
AFTFORM_ESCAPE
New Feature: It is now more convenient to set this attribute using the
SRW.SET_AFTER_FORM_HTML procedure. Setting this attribute via SRW.SET_ATTR is still
supported for compatibility, but it is highly recommended that you use the new, simplified
procedure.
Description Is any text, graphics, or HTML commands that you want to appear at the bottom of
the HTML Parameter Form. This attribute is useful for placing a logo or some standard links on
the Parameter Form .
Values
You must specify two items for this attribute:
n AFTFORM_ESCAPE_TYPE can be set to either SRW.FILE_ESCAPE or SRW.TEXT_ESCAPE.
n AFTFORM_ESCAPE_VALUE can be a filename or a text string containing valid HTML

depending upon what you specified for AFTFORM_ESCAPE_TYPE. If you specify a file, the
File searching method is used to find it.
Report Builder Reference 7
AFTPAGE_ESCAPE
New Feature: It is now more convenient to set this attribute using the
SRW.SET_AFTER_PAGE_HTML procedure. Setting this attribute via SRW.SET_ATTR is still
supported for compatibility, but it is highly recommended that you use the new, simplified
procedure.
Description Is any text, graphics, or HTML commands that you want to appear at the end of
pages of your document. This attribute is useful for placing a logo or some standard links at the
end of each page in an HTML document.
Values
You must specify two items for this attribute:
n AFTPAGE_ESCAPE_TYPE can be set to either SRW.FILE_ESCAPE or SRW.TEXT_ESCAPE.
n AFTPAGE_ESCAPE_VALUE can be a filename or a text string containing valid HTML
depending upon what you specified for AFTPAGE_ESCAPE_TYPE. If you specify a file, the
File searching method is used to find it.
AFTPAGE_ESCAPE restrictions
n When you specify SRW.SET_ATTR for this attribute you must use SRW.REPORT_ID as the
object_id:
SRW.SET_ATTR(SRW.REPORT_ID, SRW.ATTR);
n The default HTML included at the end of a page is shown below. It is not required unless
you want the default separator line to appear between pages.
<hr size=5 noshade>
n If you want the AFTPAGE_ESCAPE to apply to every page of the report, you should specify
it in a trigger that fires before the report begins formatting, such as the Before Report trigger.
n If you want the AFTPAGE_ESCAPE to apply only to the current page, you should specify it
in a format trigger for an object on that page.
Graphic page separator example
Note: This example illustrates using SRW.SET_ATTR to set the AFTPAGE_ESCAPE attribute. It

is now more convenient to set this attribute using the SRW.SET_AFTER_PAGE_HTML
procedure. Setting this attribute via SRW.SET_ATTR is still supported for compatibility, but it is
highly recommended that you use the new, simplified procedure.
/* The example below inserts a GIF file as a
** page separator.
*/
function BeforeReport return boolean is
begin
if ((upper(:MODE) != 'CHARACTER') and
(upper(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTML')) then
SRW.ATTR.MASK := SRW.AFTPAGE_ESCAPE_ATTR;
SRW.ATTR.AFTPAGE_ESCAPE_TYPE := SRW.TEXT_ESCAPE;
SRW.ATTR.AFTPAGE_ESCAPE_VALUE := '<CENTER>' ||
'<IMG ALT="Ruler" SRC="line.gif" VSPACE=10>' ||
'<BR></CENTER>';
SRW.SET_ATTR(SRW.REPORT_ID, SRW.ATTR);

AFTREPORT_ESCAPE
New Feature: It is now more convenient to set this attribute using the
SRW.SET_AFTER_REPORT_HTML procedure. Setting this attribute via SRW.SET_ATTR is still
supported for compatibility, but it is highly recommended that you use the new, simplified
procedure.
Description Is any text, graphics, or HTML commands that you want to appear at the end of
your document. This attribute is useful for placing a logo or some standard links at the end of an
HTML document.
Values
You must specify two items for this attribute:

n AFTREPORT_ESCAPE_TYPE can be set to either SRW.FILE_ESCAPE or
SRW.TEXT_ESCAPE.
n AFTREPORT_ESCAPE_VALUE can be a filename or a text string containing valid HTML
depending upon what you specified for AFTREPORT_ESCAPE_TYPE. If you specify a file,
the File searching method is used to find it.
AFTREPORT_ESCAPE restrictions
n When you specify SRW.SET_ATTR for this attribute you must use SRW.REPORT_ID as the
object_id:
SRW.SET_ATTR(SRW.REPORT_ID, SRW.ATTR);
n The default HTML included at the end of a report is shown below. If you use
AFTREPORT_ESCAPE to replace this text, you must ensure that it contains the equivalent
HTML commands.
</body></html>
n AFTREPORT_ESCAPE should be set in a trigger that fires before the report is done
formatting, such as the Before Report trigger.
