This field describes the language used to define the function and the set the data source for the report.

X_COMPUTER_LANGUAGE is a fixed lexicon with the following values:

Value
Displayed ValueComments
01 C++ deprecated
02 Cobol deprecated
03 Oracle Forms P2K only
04 Oracle Reports
05 Oracle Graphics P2K only
06 Oracle Web Server deprecated
07 PL/SQL
08 SQL/Plus
09 Windward Reports Used by the majority of reports. Data source is generated by Java engine based on the form definition.
10 Java
11 Windward Direct DBQuery and the select statements are defined inside the template and executed at run time.
Ex. REMP_DB, RENA_DB
10 Windward XML File This is used when an XML file is initially generated and manually moved to the application server.
Ex. UPW2W4SM produce an XML file for W2 report. RPW2W4SM use the file generated by UPW2W4SM and produce W2 form
10 Windward BLOB FileThe XML file is generated at run time and stored in BLOB column in media table. When run the report the system will read from the XML file stored in media table.
This is a one step process. No need to manually move the XML file to the app server
Ex. RB1095CBLOB

  • Oracle Forms are only used by the P2K level of software. The application will load a form definition file called xx_ffff.FMX where xx is the module name and ffff is the function name. The file extension is FMX.
  • Oracle Reports definitions are named as xx_ffff.RDF where xx is the module name and ffff is the function name. The file extension is RDF.

  • NOTE: If a template was designed to use one data source type it cannot be used by any other data source.
    Ex. REMP.docx template was designed to use the Form Data source(Computer Language=Windward Reports). If this template is used to run a Windward Direct DB function it will return an error.
