Hi
I am developing a TAB delimited oracle reports(6i).
In whcih I am doing the following

1. One query for both text and excel reports
2. two layouts, one for standard another for excel(I have parameter to select whihc format user want to see)
3. In excel layout I putting one fielde for each row. And assigning each row with a formul;a column
4. In formula column I am sending data for that row with tab delimited as below
return(:Name || chr(9) || :Age || chr(9) || :depat) ;
5. I have registered in Apps
6. When I run the report in apps the output comes with tab space for each column
7. But I save the same file and try to open in excel with delimiter as 'TAB' its not spreading across cell. It is just coming in a single cell

please help me to resolve this probelem.

Either try this

return(:Name||' '||:Age||' '||:depat) ;

In place of chr(9) use direct tab space,
or use any other delimiter like #, $$.

function CF_TITLUFormula return VARCHAR2 is
wtab varchar2(10) := ' ';
begin
RETURN('TIP_GRAFIC' || :P_CONC || 'DEN_GRAFIC' || :P_CONC || 'SCHIMB' || :P_CONC ||
'LUCR' || :P_CONC || 'SECT' || :P_CONC || 'LMS_STAT' || :P_CONC || 'DEN_LOC_MUNCA' || :P_CONC || 'MARCA' || :P_CONC || 'NUME' || :P_CONC ||
'MESERIA' || :P_CONC || 'DATA' || :P_CONC ||
'DTI_GRAFIC' || :P_CONC || 'DTO_GRAFIC'
