I'm getting this error when scheduling the report in Report Caster:

BTP1010 Task error: THE PRINT LINE EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM LINE WIDTH. WIDTH IS: 89

But I can run the report online or defered in MRE without any problems...

Is there a way to avoid that and having my report scheduled??

I remember having the same kind of problem when running a report directly on the web server and I had to type these commands: SET PANEL=200 SET WIDTH=200. How do I do that in Report Caster?

Thanks

Add the following at the beginning.

set panel = 89 (or wider)
set width = 89 (or wider)

I had the same issue when converting mainframe to WebFOCUS and report caster.

Thanks

I added

SET PANEL=200
SET WIDTH=200

at the begining of my report...

Hi Leah/FliPPeR,
I am also facing the same problem.
Task error: THE PRINT LINE EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM LINE WIDTH. WIDTH IS: 122

Where should i write this command
SET PANEL=200
SET WIDTH=200 in the called procedure or somewhere else.
My code has moved to production. I doubt if i would be allowed to make the change there.

And what is the suitable value for WIDTH? 200 or else.

Thanks,
Chirag

Chirag, It needs to be in the called procedure, anywhere before the final output step.

If the job is already production then you will have to go through whatever change control
system you have in place to promote it.

Isn't there any thing in report Caster schedule, where i can configure the settings to make it work. It was running fine from MRE. Who put this limit there?

Thanks,
Chirag

Put in a pre processing step to setup the SET's

Pre Processing Step? Can you please explain?

Thanks for your help.

I would suggest some basic training with IBI.

We got this error message sometimes too, but I found out that it is caused by an other error. It had nothing to do with the panel width or lines..

Is this a compound report?

I agree with Frank.

If members do not get basic training and show no understanding of clear responses to their questions then, imho, they are showing little respect for the good people who respond on this forum.

It might shock some members to realise that there are many outsourcing companies who encourage their untrained staff to use the Forum as a learning tool. Some of these companies are running incorrectly licensed installations and show no regard for the training requirements that their staff need to do the job asked of them. If an individual complains that they do not have the necessary training, then often there are 50 or more candidates waiting to happily take their job without complaining. They are unlikely to get hold of manuals because they are unlicensed and have no access to Tech Support or their company will not buy them.

So think on this, by responding to some people’s requests you may be supporting incorrectly licensed operations, you do nothing to encourage the companies to supply correct training for their employees, do nothing to encourage those that are licensed correctly to perform rudimentary investigations and research!

Frank,
yes, this is a compound report. I asked about preprocessing to know if there is any setting in report caster i can do to get this width and panel set before executing procedure. I got the line added in the procedure and i am not getting this error now. but it fails to take up a hold file created in the procedure.

I respect your feeling Tony. But by repeatitive questions i just wanted to be sure if i am understanding right what an expert advising me. I don't want to waste the effort of such good people who are there answering our queries. My company doesn't allow unlicensed software. I use focal point to search if the problem i am having is already there. If i fail to find some, i just raise a case on techsupport site as my company is registered for 24*7 support.

Thanks,
Chirag

If i am correct, reportcaster doesn't support more.
Is there any work around for this?

Yes there is.

You should use the command USE
