I upgraded my client and server to WebFOCUS 8203. Now the report traces I used to use no longer work. Traces such as this one to see FOCUS code execution without output

-SET &ECHO = ALL
SET TRACEOFF=ALL
SET TRACEUSER=CLIENT
SET XRETRIEVAL=OFF

and this one for SQL aggregation checking

SET TRACEOFF=ALL
SET TRACEUSER=CLIENT
SET TRACEON=SQLAGGR//CLIENT
SET TRACEON=STMTRACE//CLIENT
SET TRACESTAMP=OFF
SET XRETRIEVAL=OFF

This happened before I changed to AppStudio 8203. Has anyone else experienced this?

They work for me and I'm running 8203.

Add a ; to -SET &ECHO=ALL;
SET EMPTYREPORT=OFF

Adding SET EMPTYREPORT=OFF did not help. I am using Internet Explorer 11 in AppStudio. I am wondering what the difference is. This appeared when I upgraded the server and client to 8203, so it has to be a setting(s) on one of those. I have looked through those settings but have not been able to find anything. Could it possibly have something to do with the JDK? I am at 8U121, but I can now be at 8U161. Not being able to do this is detrimental to development and maintenance. I wish I could figure this out.

Where do you expect the output of these commands to go? I suspect you might be used to having the message viewer of the Run command on, which puts it into a separate frame.

I agree with Wep5622 but you can also try to right mouse click on the empty report and choose view source. That should display the results as well.

Well, it does not work for me. It works better in the portal but not in AppStudio. It used to work perfectly in 8201M. This is the first upgrade that caused this to break. Yes, I can use view source. Anyway, there does not seem to be an easy answer this, so I will close this.
