I want to control width on column in report screen - new user
539167Nov 8 2006 — edited Nov 13 2006the file is "CHANGEMANAGEMENT"
The field is "REQUEST_DESCRIPTION" - It is 2000 characters
I can't find a combination of settings that will allow me to set the width on a column for a screen so that the screen doesn't have to scroll away to the right. If I change the type to text area, I can set the width but it opens it up so that it doesn't look like a report. (It looks like the screen that I'm typing this into.) Plus it holds all the spaces so that the report is much larger than it needs to be.
The report screen is from a PL/SQL query - similar to
select * from "CHANGEMANAGEMENT" - with a join to another table with another large field.
