Hi, sorry about my english, but i'll try to let me explain.

At present in production enviroment are using a .rep file that when this execute by runtime, generate a .xls file.
I modified the query in .rdf file and compiled to make the .rep file. But when i install this changed .rep, doesn't create a .xls file, but created a PDF file.
How can i compile in GUI versión of Report Builder 6i, to when i put in Reports Runtime, create a .xls file and not the PDF.??
I looking some help browsing here, but i dont see anything like this.
Thanks.

Now i explain this in spanish, to Latin People xD.

Actualmente en producción usan un archivo .rep que se ejecuta con Report Runtime a cierta hora y genera un archivo .xls.
Tuve que modificar la query del archivo .rdf y volver a compilar. Pero cuando instalé el .rep con la modificación de query, no crea un archivo .xls sino que un PDF.
Como puedo compilar mediante la version GUI de Report Builder 6i o mediante consola, para que al momento de poner el .rep en Report Runtime cree un archivo .xls y no el PDF??
Realicé la busqueda en el foro, pero no encontré nada como mi problema.
Gracias.

What report parameters do you use? What is DESFORMAT set to? See whether DESFORMAT=DELIMITED and DELIMITER=, do any good.

How do you call that report now? Is it from a form, from command prompt, or ...?

The report its call from Oracle Runtime, calling the .rep file.
I assume that the parameter DESFORMAT must be set before compiling. But, where i do that?
I send the picture of where i think it can be.

Well, if you run it from Reports Builder, then I'd agree - here it is, among all the other parameters.

Thanks Littlefoot.
How would compile this report (.rdf) through prompt, to be sure that generates .xls files?

I'd try to include DESFORMAT into the RWRUN command (when ran at the operating system command prompt).
