Based on the error it sounds like the agent crashed.

If you invoke this request simply through Managed Reporting or the server console does it run?

Build a simple table request against the FOCUS database, if it returns data, then submit that through caster and see if you get the same results


Prod: WebFOCUS 7.1.6, Windows 2003

Dev: WebFOCUS 7.6.2, Windows 2003

Ah I haven't seen the java exception error in a long time. We used to get them before our production went to 5.3.6. Report Caster does not parse the same as MRE, I've been told. Some times all you have to do is make a minor change to the code such as inserting a space in the heading at it runs fine. Check to see if you are 'following the rules' of the code. Consider semi-colons on your where statements and so on.

Good luck.

I found the solution.
The naming conventions userd for Focus Batch ZOS Mainframe files are less restrictive than the naming conventions for mainframe files used in WebFocus.

I renamed the file and Rcaster works fine.

Thanks to all,
Ken
