Stan,
It sounds like the same problem we had with Entity Definition, Domain Definition, and a few other reports. If it is the same problem, then it's a known bug, and I'm including the workaround (paraphrased from an Oracle Support document):
BugNo: 334346
Workaround:
a) Invoke Reports Designer and connect to your normal database b) Choose from the menu Open -> File c) Open the report, e.g. ckentdef.rdf from the filesystem at
D:\orawin\repadm10\srw\..rdf
to get the name <report_name.rdf>
Go under Repository Reports, View -> View by Report Name
take name (5 to 8 characters)
d) In the Reports Designer Navigator, expand the Data Model->System Parameters
e) Double-click on the 'XY' besides 'ORIENTATION'
f) Add the following line to the program unit immediately after the 'begin'
:ORIENTATION := 'PORTRAIT';
g) Click on the 'Compile' button h) Save the report to the filesystem i) Re-run the report though the Repository Reports Interface
Hope this helps,
Gary Wong
