| Does 7.6.5 break reports? | Login/Join |
| Expert |
Trob, Also looks as though you have broken your post as well  First obvious mistake is your use statement, totally incorrect, suggest a glance in the manual on the use of USE. Second thing is that you have SET COMPOUND = OPEN and also ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K OPEN - these are not normally used together. Again it might be a suggestion to visit the old manual. I think the main thing to be said on this is that 7.6.5 didn't break your report, you did it yourself in an earlier version Sort out your code and let us know where you get to then. T btw, RickW also pointed out these problems but, due to you not using the code tags to surround your second posting, you can't see it. RickW's comments were (all that I could recover anyway) - You have SET COMPOUND = CLOSE and PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K OPEN - that doesn't look right. SET COMPOUND = CLOSE TABLE FILE HOLDDATA_NULL PRINT NULL NOPRINT ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K OPEN ON TABLE SET STYLE *<BR>ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE, TITLETEXT='.',This message has been edited.

7.6.5 did break my report. I have two VMs running. I just recopied it and upgraded to 7.6.5 again, it works on the old but not the new. I know the set compounds does not look right but it works. I have had to use this crazy logic several times to put several reports on one tab, then place several tabs in one excel document. I'll try to read up on the USE later. Thanks, Im going to clean up my post now. ------------------------------------------ DevStudio 8.2.03 WFS 8.2.03 | |||

What happens is called a "tighting of code" and when strange things for some reason worked in a previous release...may not in a newer one. The syntax you are using would cause strange results.

Trob, Just because it worked on a previous release with incorrect code doesn't mean that it will work on a new release when various syntactical loop holes have been tightened. If you were to raise this as an info response case the first thing you would need to do would be correct the syntax of your code and try again. I can see why you resorted to this type of code to produce your multi worksheet workbook, but now that you are using 7.6.5, it might be a time to try out the new compounding tool with your Excel output? Good luck T

Yeah, I agree the syntax doesn't always work as it should, so I code around it only to be tightened out of the previous hack. At least they didn't remove the undocumented quick exit feature. (DevStudio Crash) ------------------------------------------ DevStudio 8.2.03 WFS 8.2.03 | |||

this at least is definitely a pain- in fact im boiling with rage at the moment because the code i spent all day amending was just lost when dev studio did its famous 'shut down for no reason with no save prompt' - trick and ive lost hours of work.... and before someone says 'save regularly' there are some instances (ie testing and fixing a multistatement procedure) where you don't want to save every few minutes - i usually save all the time due to my mistrust of dev studios stability but for this report i couldn't due to its complex nature sorry im ranting but im so annoyed ive had to stop coding for the day- can't face starting all over again today...

IIRC, I used to find the lost code in the temp directory but this was back in the 5.x days. jimster06 DevStu WF 7.6.11 W7 HTML, PDF, EXL2K | |||

Trob, If you are still experiencing crashes in DS 7.6.5 then that is a real concern. Looks like I might stay with 7.1.6 of DS for the foreseeable!! T

Weird tho' it may seem to some, I have yet to experience DS crashing in 7.6.4. Admittedly running in a VM, which should not make a difference... Alan. WF 7.705/8.007 | |||

Alan, when it happens to me its seems to be for no rhyme or reason- yesterday for example i had dev, outlook and an IE window open and when i went from dev to the IE window it just completely shutdown - no warning, it just dissapeared- im waiting to see if anyone else experiences these crashes with 7.6.5 and if so i probably won't upgrade either (and may even go back to 7.6.1 if it doesn't have this problem)...
