I just got my WebFOCUS upgraded to wf8.2.02 and migrated the wf81 files to wf82. But i am facing a weird issue for few of the reports as they are giving error of "The Fieldname Not Recognized" for the DEFINE fields present inside the report.

I tried creating a fresh report from wf82 infoassist/texteditor, the report was running and well fetching out the DEFINE fields created.

But not sure what's the issue with migrated files, although its not the same for every migrated file, just for few of the files.

Anybody there who could help me out with this?

Could it be related to the special characters in the other thread? Maybe some defines with special charachters in the define name? Could you upload some code snippets?

Well the code inside my .fex file was as below:

ENGINE INT CACHE SET ON
-INCLUDE IBFS:/WFC/Repository/xxxxxx/Common/get_ec.fex

END

After running this report, i am getting error as below:

0 ERROR AT OR NEAR LINE 49 IN PROCEDURE openpurchasereports
(FOC003) THE FIELDNAME IS NOT RECOGNIZED: BF4311UABH.ORDER_STATUS
(FOC009) INCOMPLETE REQUEST STATEMENT
BYPASSING TO END OF COMMAND

Seems like its unable to fetch & display DEFINE file fields.
Hoping some good suggestions ahead..

TABLE FILE &ECF.EVALbf4311U&EC.EVALbv01

Your problem is with the way you've parameterized the TABLE FILE FILENAME. Add a -SET &ECHO=ALL; at the very top of your code and you'll see what's substituted. You can't have a TABLE FILE QUALIFIER.TABLENAME. That's what the error seems to be saying. TABLE FILE requires the name of the synonym. Is there actually a mas file called BF4311UABH.ORDER_STATUS?

Could it be that the parameters are not populated?

With &ECF.EVALbf4311U&EC.EVALbv01

I would al least expect bf4311Ubv01 if both params are empty.

Anyway .EVAL is a bit tricky to use. To simplify you can use this:
-SET &MASTERNAME = &ECF.QUOTEDSTRING||'bf4311U'||&EC.QUOTEDSTRING||'bv01';

And just use DEFINE FILE &MASTERFILE

Thanks for the valuable suggestions, will be back once we are ready to go with de-bugging process.

You can have TABLE FILE {TABLENAME}.{FIELDNAME} to change the access path to the data via a different segment in the master file.
