All,

We have a bunch of reports that are running in excel format but failing in PDF with the following error:

(FOC3251) IMAGE FILE UNREADABLE OR INVALID: INTERNAL_HEADL (RC=112)
(FOC3202) BAD VALUE IN STYLESHEET FILE AT LINE: 22 IMAGE=internal_headl.gif

-------------

from what i know... in excel..we are giving the complete path for the gif..while we cant give the same in pdf.

but..the directory in which the image resides.. is in the app path.

ne idea wht the error cud be?

thanks

-Ed.

When you put an image into a PDF you must specify the op system path to the image in your styling code.

example

TYPE=HEADING, IMAGE=c:\ibi\WebFocus53\ibi_html\ib_logo.gif,POSITION=(+1.000000 +1.000000), SIZE=(.5 .5), $

I believe, it should work with just an image name. Not necessary to mention the full path in PDF.

Ed, can you post that Table request where you use your Image.

Are you running the report from a self-serve app? And if your report and image are in the same app path you don't needed the full path only the file name and extension.

hi,

I tried putting it with or w/o the full path and it is failing in both. The image name is not constant... it's based on an IF condition. And in the fex stylesheet...and &variable is passed for the same.

thanks

Could &HEADLOGO or &REPORTLN be blank?

I can get the same error as you but, I was only able to get if I incorrectly spelt the image filename. You may want to check that and maybe even the case of the filename. I'm sure you already checked this.

Can you get the same problem if you move you style sheet to the car table?

if i am running Kameshs' code on the server console...i am getting foc3202...if i use the image file name mentioned by him...and foc3251 and foc3202...same as the one i am getting, if i use my gif file name.

I checked that the file name is correct..so curtis...tht shud not be an issue.

Is there any configuration change that mite have caused this issue to crop up?
Does the directories under app path need to have any specific permissions?

The report were working fine on friday and suddenly stopped working yesterday with no changes being done to the fexes.

Have you checked the app path configuration on the WF server? Its located under the Procedures at http://servername:8121 also try putting the images in the baseapp folder see if that helps.

I know you will get that error if you directly run the fex I posted. I forgot to mention the image file name has to be changed.
If you change the image name to yours, then this problem exists you need to check your image path.

The image has to be under the directory you mentioned in your edasprof.prf . (This file located under /ibi/srv53/wfs/etc)

Curtis,

This is strange.
baseapp and the directory containing the images are both in the APP PATH, apart frm some other directories.

If I put the image under baseapp it works.
if i put it under some other directory it doesnt.

can u throw some light on what baseapp is.

Kamesh,
edasprof.prf has all these directories under the app path in it.

thanks

Ed.

baseapp is the first place WF will look for a file. (aka default directory) Its a bit of a dirty trick, it does not really fix your problem.

I believe that BASEAPP is the last APP folder that gets looked at.

Everything in the APP PATH first then BASEAPP.

I checked and it seems folders in the app path are read first and then baseapp.
Also, baseapp is there in my app path.

So, why should the image not be read from my other folder in app path. esp...when a fex file in that folder is being read properly.

thanks

Ed.

I've seen this message many times...
(FOC3202) BAD VALUE IN STYLESHEET FILE AT LINE where the .gif file is corrupted.
Seems if the .gif is copied from within Developer Studio from one folder to another or one project to another. The only solution I can come up with is to copy it from my hard drive back to the server and then it works!
