I have a fex report that runs just fine when I tell it to print out in HTML but it crashes (causes a core dump) and displays "EDA no/data" when I try to convert it to PDF. Im thinking there must be some data in some field that the PDF generator just isnt jiving with...any ideas on what might be causing this?
Hah. I spent so much time trying to figure out why the code I added was making it break, when all along it was already broken. It turns out that a text field being pulled in by the report was too long handle. Looks like I'll have to truncate those..This message has been edited. Last edited by: thebrettd,
We had the same issue with corrupt PDFs in 5.2.4, IBI gave us a patch to get more than 1064 characters returned (when populated) but it broker other things in the release so we couldn't use the patch. So, we used the SQL SQLMSS SET CONVERSION LONGCHAR TEXT
However, it appears to me that LONGCHAR TEXT is not supported in 7.6
If you get a patch from IBI (5.2.9), it will break the REBUILD function if the filename is longer than 8.3 xxxxxxxx.xxx
