Does this happen with a specific report only or with all reports?

Has this code worked in the past without error or is it something you just developed?

Can you share the report code with us so we can see what's happening?

Your site may have the Unix commands turned off, preventing users and developers from executing them.

How can we identify the Unix Command is turned off?

You can disable operating system shell commands using the SET OPSYSCMD or the NOSYS general privilege.

Please post your actual code so we can see what is causing this error. Use the code tag to wrap the code...
