Forecast Function

I have a report which I am using the forecast function to generate an extra 3 rows of data in which I created a defined field which I report off of. The problem I am having is that when I try and sent this report out it gives the error:

"COMPOUND REPORT: MISSING CLOSE OR ERROR IN FINAL REPORT"

If I remove all instances of the forcasted field it runs fine.

The only this is that this only happens in report caster but will run completely fine without that error when I run the report off an HTML page or directly from Dev Studio.

Is there a reason for this? Or is there another way I can add rows to a hold file through define or something?

And it is a compound report but it is a report in the middle of about 7 reports so I know it's not missing a close because it shuoldn't be there.

This is an example of what I would be trying to accmplish without Forecast I guess where the last 3 rows are defined by me and not what is in the CAR file:

TABLE FILE CAR
BY HIGHEST RETAIL_COST
ON TABLE HOLD
END

DEFINE FILE HOLD
CNT/I3=CNT + 1;
END

TABLE FILE HOLD
PRINT RETAIL_COST/D12.2
BY CNT
ON CNT
RECAP NEW_FIELD/D12 = FORECAST(RETAIL_COST,1,3,'EXPAVE',1);
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD2
END

-SET &CNT = &LINES ;

DEFINE FILE HOLD2
FINAL_COST/D12 = IF CNT EQ &CNT THEN -99999 ELSE IF CNT EQ &CNT - 1 THEN 0 ELSE IF CNT EQ &CNT - 2 THEN 1000 ELSE RETAIL_COST;
END

TABLEF FILE HOLD2
PRINT FINAL_COST
BY CNT
END

I know it works, but I need an alternative solution to get the same results without using forcast because my procedure similar to my example will not run in report caster using the forecast function.

Eric, if the report is NOT a compound report and the error ReportCaster is throwing states there's an problem with the compound report, then this is a bug and there may be a fix for it. Open a case.

It is a compound report, I think it just didn't like the forecast function. I actually found another way to generate the same results more or less jumping through hoops but none the less it runs in report caster now.

But thanks anyway guys.
