Try setting echo to off, Report Caster doesn't like ECHO.

-SET &ECHO=OFF;

I guess there is some LOOP happening when you do schedule.

Thank you Francis !! I've been battling this same issue for weeks - report runs fine in Dev Studio but fails when run under ReportCaster. Removing the &ECHO fixed it ... Smiler

Things running smoothly is greatly to be desired, but when they run out of control things can get very messy ... which reminds me I'm due for a colonoscopy soon ... Red Face Sweating Frowner

Compare the field definition/format/type between Dev and Prod for the one used in DATECVT function.

You'll probably found the solution around that...

I did not use DATECVT function in my report. I asked our administrator to check any settings and did not find anything different bewteen Dev and Prod. any more suggestion?

Do you have any date parameter somewhere ?

Set the tracing and the ECHO on and then look at your schedule log. That may help finding from where the error comes from.
