Java exception while running fex files
I have compound PDF. I have drill through and drill down features enabled on Across Values and DATA columns. When I execute the fex file first, procedure is running and generating the expected output. But when I run it for the second time, it gives "ERROR: -12: Pcb2.: java.io.EOFException"

Can anyone help me in resolving the same?

Hi Thangam,

Has this issue regarding Java exception been resolved?

The following topics from Information Builders' online documentation may be of interest:

Drilldown on ACROSS value generates the following message:
ERROR: -12: Pcb2.: java.io.EOFException
http://techsupport.informationbuilders.com/known_problems/90571072.html

ERROR: -12: Pcb2.: java.io.EOFException when run PDF report http://techsupport.informationbuilders.com/sps/12352059.html

Another suggestion, please contact Information Builders' Technical Support Help Desk for further detailed assistance. You can either call, 1-800-736-6130 or use the online system InfoResponse, http://techsupport.ibi.com , and please be ready to provide details such as site code, release number, Adobe version (since this is related to PDF), etc.

Hope this helps. Big Grin

Cheers,

Kerry

thangam, that's a generic, catchall error message that can happen for a lot of reasons. on my site, my most common reason is that i've forgotten to FILEDEF or USE some file in my fex.
so, edit your drilldown fex, and put an exit in near the top. run it and see if you get the error. keep moving the exit down the fex until you can replicate the error message, and then look to see what you've forgotten to do.
if your same drilldown fex works from multiple places in your report (if i understand you correctly), then most likely one of your drilldown instructions in your host fex style sheet is different somehow , and wrong somehow.
