Hi,

I've an Oracle Report that runs fine on a Unix box, but when I try to run it on an NT box it produces rubbish.

any ideas
 
Is it the same DB? Can you run the report SQL on both UNIX and NT using SQL+ or like to make sure the same data are returned?
 
It's running against several sites most are on a
Unix box and it runs fine, as soon as it hits the NT Box it runs but returns rubbish in the output file.
It has been suggested that the output would suggest it is running in character mode, but not sure about this or how I would go about changing it.

OK, if by rubbish you mean wierd characters and your report is in character mode, of course, the UNIX and NT coding is different, so the text readable on UNIX may look as rubbish on NT.
In the Report Designer go to the Object Navigator, then to the Data Model, then System Parameters, and for the MODE parameter select initial value to be Bitmap.
