To start off, I have 4 Webfocus environments all on 7.6.8. Two of my four environments displays gif's in a PDF report and two do not. Both my Dev and Test environments work fine, but my QA and Prod environments do not work and I am at a loss here trying to figure out what the issue is.

The environments are all the same and standalone. I have compared the CGIVARS file on each and for the most part they are configured the same. The Gif's do exist in all the environments as they work with HTML and Excel outputs.

Here is the sample CAR fex 

 DEFINE FILE CAR
DETERMINATE/A1 WITH DEALER_COST= IF DEALER_COST LT 5000 THEN 'R' ELSE IF
DEALER_COST GT 9999 THEN 'G' ELSE 'Y';
DISPLAYCOLOR/A100 = DECODE DETERMINATE('R' 'dot_red.gif'
'G' 'dot_grn.gif'
'Y' 'dot_yel.gif');
END
 
TABLE FILE CAR
 PRINT DEALER_COST
       COMPUTE DDOOTT/A100 = DISPLAYCOLOR;
    BY BODYTYPE ACROSS SEATS
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, ACROSSCOLUMN=DDOOTT, IMAGE=(DDOOTT), SIZE=(.08 .08), $
ENDSTYLE
END
END


Any suggestions?

Thanks

Where are the files for dot_red, dot_grn, and dot_yel? They must be in the app path of the server - which could be configured differently on each environment. I don't think they're there by default as your code doesn't work for me either.

BTW: That's pretty cool that you're licensed to run four separate and standalone installations of WF. Wish we could all afford that - would make testing and QA a lot easier.

That's it!!! The gif's are in the /vis directory on the client itself on all 4 environments but were not on the Report Server for the QA and Prod environments. This is why they showed up in the HTML/Excel format in all environments and not the PDF in the two. As soon as I copied over the gifs into an APP folder that's in the path it worked. I guess you need it on the Reporting Server for PDF

It's nice to have 4 environments, but at the same point this is the type of trouble that you can get into. I scoured all 4 environments for the last 4 days trying to figure this out.


Thanks for the help, much appreciated.
