I have a PDF report that runs in both Mainframe and MR but gets the following error when run from RC:

BTP1020 COLUMN TRUNCATED BECAUSE WIDTH EXCEEDS MARGINS; COLUMN: 218
BTP1010 Task error: COLUMN TRUNCATED BECAUSE WIDTH EXCEEDS MARGINS; COLUMN: 218

SQUEEZE=OFF,WRAP=OFF,PAPERSIZE=LEGAL

It runs when PAPERSIZE=TABLOID which (along with the error message) leads me to believe there is a column that extends beyond the margins, but which one?

Anybody have an idea?

Since it is the same engine that is processing the request, I'm guessing that you get the same message in the other environments too, but you just don't see it because MRE of WFClient does not react the same as RC. RC flags it as a real error, while the other environments see it merely as a non-fatal warning.
Take a good look at your request and try to find out which column crosses the 218 border. Since we don't have your procedure nor the mfd('s) you're using I can't really say anything more about it.

Alan,

It "may" be a local('&') or global('&&') AMPER variable that you have included somewhere.

Hope this helps...

Try running the PDF version to HTML outside of ReportCaster and do a View, Source and I'll bet you still get the error outside of ReportCaster.

I always use

LET PDF - HTML
-RUN

for testing.

Good Luck!

As Ira says, use the panel command and you may or may not need to set the width as well.

Everyone,
Thanks for your responses. I ended up rewriting the report and resolved the problem. I inherited this code midstream; it was overly complicated to begin with, so I started from scratch and it works fine.
