I have two car file reports so that I can test the PDF Layout Painter in Dev Studio 7.1.
When I run the report I get:
0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE= 4 LINES= 4
0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE= 4 LINES= 4

Any ideas?

Here is the fex:
-* File car4.fex
-* Default Mode: ResourceLayout
COMPOUND LAYOUT
UNITS=IN, $
SECTION=section1, LAYOUT=ON, MERGE=OFF, ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT, PAGESIZE=Letter, $
pagelayout=1, name='Layout page 1', $
component='report1', type=report, position=(0.104 0.104), dimension=(4.271 2.292), $
component='report2', type=report, position=(0.104 2.604), dimension=(4.375 2.500), $
END
SET COMPONENT='report1'
-*component_type report
EX CAR1
SET COMPONENT='report2'
-*component_type report
EX CAR2
COMPOUND END

The fexes are not rocket science.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
BY COUNTRY
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND'
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
BY COUNTRY
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'JAPAN'
END

Sorry, my fault. I have the ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF in the fex and it still doesn't work.

What release of 7.1 are you running?

The code you have works perfectly in the new 713 production release.

Have you tried putting in the actual code for the focexecs to see if that works?
If it does then you have a bug and either need to upgrade or raise a hottrack

Where are your OPEN and CLOSE statements?

First procedure:
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF OPEN NOBREAK

Second procedure:
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF CLOSE

You'll need a STYLESHEET in both procedures to get decent output.

Not needed in the PDF Layout Painter.
The syntax is completely different.

I am running 7.1.1 and my office buddy is running 7.1.3 and we both can't execute this simple compound report. I included the fex source this time instead of referencing it.

-* File compound.fex
-* Default Mode: ResourceLayout
COMPOUND LAYOUT
UNITS=IN, $
SECTION=section1, LAYOUT=ON, MERGE=OFF, ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT, PAGESIZE=Letter, $
pagelayout=1, name='Layout page 1', $
component='report1', type=report, position=(0.104 0.104), dimension=(4.271 2.083), $
component='report2', type=report, position=(0.104 2.292), dimension=(4.271 3.021), $
END
SET COMPONENT='report1'
-*component_type report
-* File car1.fex
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR BY COUNTRY
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
END
SET COMPONENT='report2'
-*component_type report
-* File car1.fex
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR BY COUNTRY
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
END
COMPOUND END

I just copied and pasted you code into a .fex and it ran fine.

We are running 7.1.3
