[CLOSED] Issue with excel mht template

Hi,

We've an excel compound report with 3 sheets. The report uses a mht template.
The issue is when run from the report dashboard, it is throwing an error in a dialog box as --

Missing File:C:\D06C5D96\wks3_ppref_excutive_files\sheet002.htm

(Here wks3_ppref_excutive_files is the mht file name)

When clicked 'OK', the report comes up with correct 1 and 3 sheets. But in the sheet 2 no data or titles or heading comes up. But the title borders that have been defined in the mht are showing up.

Please let me know of any solution you have.

Thanks !

Do you have access to the fex that executes that you could post? It could be that there is a problem populating sheet 2 or sheet 2 in the mht doesn't have a placeholder and is just blank.

The mht file (Excel template) must be in an App folder defined in the App Path. Is folder C:\D06C5D96\wks3_ppref_excutive_files\ defined as an App in the App Path?

Hi Francis,

Could you please let me know on how to check whether folder C:\D06C5D96\wks3_ppref_excutive_files\ defined as an App in the App Path ?

Thanks,

Look at the documentation for APP command syntax. Particularly APP SHOWPATH and APP MAP.

The most probable cause is that no output is being generated for the second sheet.

SET EMPTYREPORT=ON

to see if that removes the error.

The fact that the output is correctly formated according to the template suggests there is no error with that.

Change the PCHOLD to HOLD and put SET MSG=ON and -SET &ECHO=ALL; at the top of the proceedure and you will be
able to see the output from the executed code where you will see if the step that is supposed to generate sheet 2
is returning 0 records or not.

Assuming that you are using C:\D06C5D96\wks3_ppref_excutive_files\sheet001.mht for sheet 1, try changing the extention on sheet002 to .mht and make sure that your hold statement is ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT EXL2K TEMPLATE template_name SHEET002. Your template_name is what came out of sheet 1. On your final step change the HOLD to PCHOLD.
