[SHARING] WARNING: FML does not obey RECORDLIMIT when it builds hierarchy
All

Just to warn.

1. FML will try to build the hierarchy from a non recordlimited dataset which can result in a huge response time so always extract a subset and then do FML.

2. For some reason blank indent stops working with a record limited report in HTML but it works fine in PDF!

When using the in FML, we always read the entire hierarchy from the Reporting Server
but only build the 1st level within the tree of the FML Painter. As you click on the plus sign next
to an item or search for an item within the hierarchy we well then continue to build the tree based on what is
required. This saves time in bringing up the report in the painter and developing a report from scratch.

For your BLANKINDENT issue, SET SHOWBLANKS=ON

Let me know what happens.

Cheers Efrem

The SET SHOWBLANKS cures the indentation problem with excel.
