I am trying to reference an existing report with the Document Composer. I have that referenced report set to output in PDF format and I have the Document Composer report property "Size and Overflow" set to Flowing; The document composer itself is set to output in PDF as well.

I think that covers all of the troubleshooting solutions I found in reference to this issue. However, my report still doesn't look right. The columns are truncated and I cannot see the data in them. Also one of the lines in the footer wraps over itself.

I am able to get it to display so that it is readable if I remove these items from the formatting section of the referenced report:

-*$
-*TYPE=HEADING,
-* JUSTIFY=LEFT,
-*$
-*TYPE=FOOTING,
-* JUSTIFY=LEFT,
$
-*$
-*TYPE=REPORT,
-* COLUMN=N2,
-* WRAP=6.000000,

But I want those items in there to make the report look good. Any thoughts?

I have figured out what document composer didn't like that was in my reference report:
TYPE=REPORT,
COLUMN=N2,
WRAP=6.000000,

Once I removed that everything looked okay. Now that part of my report doesn't look quite like what I wanted, but it's close enough.

I'll leave this open for a day in case anyone has anything else that will help.

Try:

TYPE=REPORT,
 COLUMN=N2,
 WIDTH=6.000000,
$
TYPE=DATA,
 COLUMN=N2,
 WRAP=ON,
$

Thanks for the suggestion j.gross.

I got an error when I try it though:
(FOC3202) BAD VALUE IN STYLESHEET FILE AT LINE 480: WRAP=ON
==========

I actually ended up putting the
TYPE=REPORT,
COLUMN=N2,
WRAP=6.000000,

back in and just manually creating the word wrap for my other messages.
