Hi,

You can use the parameters PARAMFORM,DESTYPE & DESNAME to route the report output directly to the default printer.

Hope the below example will be helpful to you.


Bye,
-G.S



DECLARE

P_REPORT_NAME VARCHAR2(100) := 'TEST';
l_param_name VARCHAR2(40) := P_REPORT_NAME || '_param';
l_pl_id PARAMLIST;
P_Prntr VARCHAR2(4000) := "\\PC178\HP178" --Network Prntr
P_COPIES NUMBER := 1;


BEGIN

l_pl_id := GET_PARAMETER_LIST ( l_param_name );
IF ID_NULL (l_pl_id) THEN
l_pl_id := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST ( l_param_name );
END IF;

ADD_PARAMETER (l_pl_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
ADD_PARAMETER (l_pl_id, 'DESTYPE', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'PRINTER');

--- If you want to print it to a specific printer then
--- then assign the value to the P_Prntr
ADD_PARAMETER(l_pl_id,'DESNAME',TEXT_PARAMETER,P_Prntr);

--- To pass the number of copies as parameter.
ADD_PARAMETER(l_pl_id,'COPIES',TEXT_PARAMETER,TO_CHAR(P_COPIES));

---- pass the parameter list to the RUN_PRODUCT

RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, P_REPORT_NAME, SYNCHRONOUS,BATCH, FILESYSTEM,l_pl_id,NULL);

END;
