HI,
Use disableprint parameter and set it to YES in add parameter to prevent print reports.
You can control this parameter according to user.

Hi,
You can use this code........

declare
user varchar2(50);
plid paramlist;
Begin
user:=get_application_property(username);
plid :=create_parameter_list('Parmlist');
/* Either You can user Your User table or particular username to restrict Print permission, USERNAME1, USERNAME2 are the users to them you granted print report.*/
if user not in ('USERNAME1','USERNAME2',......) then
add_parameter('Parmlist','DISABLEPRINT',text_parameter,'YES');
end if;
..................
Your other parameters.
....................
run_product(reports,'ReportName',synchronous,runtime,filesystem,'Parmlist',null);
destroy_parameter_list('Parmlist');
end;

WOW ..... It is working now.. I can now disable the print option from report runtime time...

------------
Here is Scenario:

A report is run for a specific department number and a specific table is to be updated if the report is printed.

The specific table (print) contains the following columns:

Deptno Printed
# N

Requirement: change N to Y if the report record is printed for a specific department number #

SOLUTION DESCRIPTION:
=====================

Create a Report with the following steps:

1. Query : Select * from emp where deptno=:P_1 .
This will create a new user parameter called P_1.

2. Create LOVs for P_1 as distinct deptno.

3. Create a Parameter Form with DESTYPE and P_1.
Set initial value of DESTYPE as Preview.

4. In the after paramform trigger create the following:

begin
if :destype='Printer' then
update print set printed ='Y' where deptno=:P_1
commit;
end if;
return(true);
end;

NOTE: If the report is run to "preview", the report will need to be closed, then rerun with destype=printer in order for the table to be updated.
DISABLEPRINT can be set to yes so that the printer button is disabled.

4. Run this report by changing DESTYPE to Printer and selecting a deptno for P_1. Now, 'print' table is updated with 'PRINTED' column value set as Y for that particular deptno that the report was run against.

------------------

Here One problem exist. If user select the DESTYPE = 'SCREEN'/'PREVIEW' There is enable the print button. Now Usre can print. Now How I count and restrict unless I use the DESTYPE = 'PRINTER'. I want to give option to user for specific number of time.

Hi,

Excellent solution, except a problem. User cannot control page numbers to print (i.e, page 1-10 bla bla bla). Or cannot choose printers other than default one. Basically, this solution sends the report to the printer assuming that user requests to print all pages to the default printer. I tried with the parameter PRINTJOB = YES to show the printjob dialog box. Can anyone help me on this?
