Crystal Reports 2008 sql image field stretches in report display

i have the full version of Crystal reports 2008 i run through a .net web form to display the reports. i have need to display logos which in resize mid stream before saving to the sq table. My problem is when i got to retrieve the images it looks like crystal is stretching them to fit. I can have horizontal or vertical images and i resize them to fit the smallest determined in the report. Another issue is the background turns black. The images appear to be "normal" outside of the report. Am i doing something wrong? Is there a setting i'm missing i need to config or something? I'm kind of lost i assumed as long as i stored the images in teh proper size they would diplay correctly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Are you seeing this behavior in the CR designer or in a .NET app?

  • Number field on crystal report displays Exponential form.

    Number Type field on crystal report printed in Exponential form when digits in this field are more than 17.

    Hi Jay,
    The same issue is addressed in the K-Base article c2005336. This is the limitation in Crystal, If you have more than 15 digits of numberic field it will convert into Exponential
    Use database-level syntax to convert the numeric database field to a string so that Crystal Reports will interpret it as a string type, and display all of the characters.
    For example, in Oracle, cast the number using to_char() and in Microsoft SQL Server use CAST() or STR() prior to adding the field to the report.
    As a workaround to display all the number, I would suggest you to convert it to text using a SQL Expression Field. A SQL Expression field will be evaluated on the database server.
    I would suggest you to follow the below mentioned steps to create SQL Expression field and convert a database field to a string:
    1. Open the report.
    2. Right click the SQL Expression field which is present in the Field Explorer.
    3. Select New and copy and past the below-mentioned text.
    CAST ("Database Field" as varchar)
    Note u201CDatabase Fieldu201D Here you have to mention your database field.
    After you create the SQL Expression Field, insert it on the report and it will display the full number.
    Please note that no calculation can be made on that field since it is now a string.
    I hope this helps you.

  • Crystal report displays only a part of a field

    I created a Crystal report based on a BW Query. The user enter a comment about a sales order in SAP. This field has only a key but no text in BW.
    So the text is the key. The whole comment can be seen when I run the query with Bex Analyzer. The key is displayed on the report.
    However Crystal report cuts the length of this field although I use the key in the Crystal report as well. Only 143 characters can be seen.
    I adjusted the font or can grow option of the field but it doesn't work.
    I tried this formula as well but it did not work.
    Stringvar s1:={field} [1 to 100];
    Stringvar s2:={field} [102 to 200];
    S1&s2;
    Can somebody help me about this issue?
    I will be very thankful.

    That would be CR 2013, Service Pack 2. CR 2013 is now on SP 5 and it would be good to update to that. Links to updates are here:

  • Help: Crystal Report displays decimals on X-axis when published in Infoview

    Hi everyone
    I've been banging my head on my keyboard trying to get past the following issue:
    We have a Crystal Report (XI R2 SP3) containing a bar chart that has numbers on both the X- and Y-axis.
    On the Y-axis I can control the "Number" settings to remove decimals after the comma. So far so good.
    On the X-axis on the other, the numbers are the result of an extensive formula trying to breakdown
    numbers into ranges. Numbers are always whole (no decimals). The X-Axis is an Ordinal scale, which
    does not allow to set any number formatting. Numeric scale does not work in this case because it
    compresses the entire chart into a few bars. And this is where the problem is:
    In Crystal Reports I have a global setting for "Numbers" not to show any decimals. This works, when
    generated in Crystal, I have no decimals past the comma in the graphs on the X-axis.
    when I publish this report to Business Objects Infoview portal and schedule and run it there, all of a
    sudden the PDF displays an X-axis that has 2 decimals past the comma (1234.00). It's driving me nuts.
    I suspect this is a bug, because I've not managed to get rid of these decimals without a text-conversion in
    the formula (does not suit me, I need data ordered properly).
    Can anyone help? Has anyone had this issue?
    Much appreciated!
    Thanks.
    The latest of version of my formula truncates and converts ToNumber. Nothing helps:
    Tonumber(
    truncate(
    IIF (InStr ({Command.SUB_SPECIFICATION},'XF') > 0
        IIF ({Command.X_TIME} <= 300,300,
             IIF ({Command.X_TIME} <= 5000,
             Ceiling ({Command.X_TIME}, 200),10000
    ,IIF(InStr ({Command.SUB_SPECIFICATION},'XT') > 0 Or InStr
    ({Command.SUB_SPECIFICATION},'XY') > 0,
            IIF ({Command.X_TIME} <= 1000,Ceiling ({Command.X_TIME}, 50),
                 IIF ({Command.X_TIME} <= 5000,
                 Ceiling ({Command.X_TIME}, 200),10000
            IIF ({Command.X_TIME} <= 300,Ceiling({Command.X_TIME},10),
                 IIF ({Command.X_TIME} <= 5000,
                 Ceiling ({Command.X_TIME}, 200),10000

    Hi Frederic,
    I tired the following on my machine having CR XI R2,  just as a sample report i created the following formulas,
    Reproducing the issue:
    u2022 Create a formula field u2013 FiscalCurrentHeader u2013
    "FY " & year(DateAdd ("m",+6,CurrentDate))
    u2022 Use a text box and place this formula field
    Summary for {@FiscalCurrentHeader}
    u2022 In the designer, the string exports to .pdf as 'FY 2009' , but on the scheduling/distribution server (BOE XI), the string exports to .pdf as 'FY 2,009.00' (as a number).
    Cause:
    u2022 The datatype of the field u2013 FiscalCurrentHeader is considered as number, because of which when scheduling/distribution server (BOE XI), the string exports to .pdf as 'FY 2,009.00' (as a number).
    Resolution:
    u2022 To remove the comma use ToText in the formula
    "FY " & ToText(Year(DateAdd ("m",+6,CurrentDate)), "0")
    u2022 To remove the comma we can even use
    u201CFY u201D & ToText(Year(DateAdd ("m",+6,CurrentDate)), "0","")
    The last "" defines your 000 separator.
    Try using ToText in place of ToNumber.
    I hope this works at your end.

    Abhijeet Taskar.

  • Crystal Report Displaying Problem

    Hi Guys,

    Regards
    ANAND

    One question!
    How are you sending the data to the reports?  Are you connecting the reports directly to the SQL Server tables?  If so, I believe you have to take into consideration the fact that connectivity parameters will vary in your client.
    Maybe you have taken this into account already! Just in case
    hope it helps

  • Problem dislaying an Informix LVARCHAR field in Crystal Reports

    Post Author: littlew
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    I am creating a report using Crystal Reports XI from a BOXI Universe.  The Universe is connecting to an Informix Dynamic Server 9.21 database.  The Informix database contains a field which is a LVARCHAR data type.   A LVARCHAR data type is one which allows the storing of more than 255 characters (up to 2KB). 
    When I attempt to place the LVARCHAR data type field onto my report, Crystal Reports displays no data in my report for most of the other fields, and all the formulas return invalid results.  If I go into the Informix database and change the LVARCHAR field to CHAR (255) field, the Crystal Report will run with no problems.
    Does anyone know if Crystal Reports can support the displaying of fields from the database, which are greater than 255 characters?
    Also, I have created a Crystal Report which uses the same Informix data source using an ODBC connection and the LVARCHAR field caused the entire report not to display.   By changing the field from LVARCHAR to CHAR (255) the report runs fine.

  • Crystal Reports Layout and Time Field

    Good evening Crystal Reports and SAP experts:
    Beforehand i would like to thank everyone for the support thats always given, i appreciate it very much.  Today yet again i find mysefl in a problem, when i try to take the field DocTime from table ORDR (creation time of a sales order) Crystal Reports displays it in a Integer Value format instead of a time format, (Example: 3:23 pm its 323 as number). I was hoping anyone would know how to extract the values as a time format.
    Again thanks in advance.

    You just need to create formula to split number and show the time format.
    Thanks,

    Actually, the question boils down to; does the framework support the fonts?
    I believe that my question re. this working in the designer was valid. The designer does not use the framework, so if it works there, it is either a framework issue or a runtime print engine issue.
    I believe if you use the code below, it will list fonts available to the framework:
    foreach(FontFamily ff in FontFamily.Families)
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ff.Name);
    For more information see kbase [1198306 - Crystal Report displaying incorrect font in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333133393338333333303336%7D.do]

  • Crystal report and SAP system question

    Hi,
    I try to report off the SAP system using crystal reports without installation of the BOE server. But with very few knowledge of the SAP system, I am not clear of how and what to do. The following is what I have done:
    1. From the client machine, I open the crystal report 2008
    2. click "SAP" button and then click "Create New Report from a Query"
    3. Select the system and enter the login user name/ password information
    4. A dialog "Select Query for your Crystal Report" displayed.
        But under "Favorites", no entry found
        Under "Roles", no entry found
        Under infoAreas,  there is a "Technical content" on top level and "Exchange Rate Type" is under it. I select this exchange rate type in the report, but it is an empty table.
    If I use the same user name/ password to  log on the SAPGUI, I am able to see lots of data.
    Does anyone know what are the appropriate configuration steps to make the tables/views in the SAP system visible in the crystal reports? Could you please give me the details? Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vicky
