Any idea where things are going wrong here???
I have opened a Case too with IBI and they are still researching, so thought of asking in the forum as well.
Please let me know....

Where is the script that should create the distribtion list located?

We have this in the EDA and not in the MRE
and we do this

TABLE FILE NK_PRRESOURCE
PRINT
     PRID AS 'VALUE'
     PREMAIL AS 'DEST'
     PREXPIRATION
WHERE     PRISOPEN NE 0;
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE HOLD AS NIKUMAIL
END
-* first in an hold file to be sure the fieldnames are correct
TABLE FILE NIKUMAIL
PRINT
     VALUE
     DEST
ON TABLE PCHOLD

END


can you see what you get if you run the report on screen?

it should be somtehing like this

- <column_desc>
  <col colnum="c0" fieldname="VALUE" alias="E01" datatype="integer" width="11" focus_format="I11" description="" accept="" help_message="" title="" within="" property="" reference="" valign="right" /> 
  <col colnum="c1" fieldname="DEST" alias="E02" datatype="char" width="64" focus_format="A64V" description="" accept="" help_message="" title="" within="" property="" reference="" valign="left" /> 
  </column_desc>
- <table>
- <tr linetype="data" linenum="1">

Hi - my files are exactly the same.
There seem to be no difference.

First,you should add
SET ASNAMES=ON

on the top of your distribution list fex code.
Second, you should configure your application path in the server profile(edasprof.prf).
