Let me first start off by saying we just upgraded our test server to 7.6.11 and are in the process of testing it.

Most things seem to be working fine, but we have at least one report that when we open up the HTML launch page and it attempts to populate data into the selection fields, it fails and there is an error at the bottom.

Here is a copy of the error message:

Has anyone run into this before or have any suggestions?

Thanks

What is on or near line 65 ?

Looks like it is the query for one of the selection fields:

  
<FONT style="FONT: bold small-caps 10pt/12pt sans-serif">
[b]Federal / State:[/b] </FONT></TD>

<SELECT id=combobox4 style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: sans-serif" onfocus=refSic[); name=FED_NAME datasource="app/1120_list_options.fex" datatype="1" sourcetype="typeFex" IBIMR_domain="business/business.htm" IBIMR_folder="#businesskehz" ibiapp_app chainnumber="0" inchainindex="1" cacheruntimedata="1" parentid="combobox6" anchorpt="topleft" newchainnumber="0"></SELECT> 

There is also the same error on line 85:

My experience is that this type of error message refers to a JavaScript error in one of the JavaScript functions in the heading section at the top of the HTML code. Since I find it almost impossible to determine exactly where the error is occuring based on the error message, I must comment out (//) one function at a time to determine which function and line number is at fault. Use of the alert function to display variable values is often useful for troubleshooting the exact cause of the error.

I figured out the problem with this particular report.

I guess it wasn't talking nicely with the new Teradata 13.10 and I had to put SET SYNONYM=BASIC in the edasprof.prf
