Bex Query not passing all rows to Crystal reports

Question

hello experts,
i have created a bex query that shows all employees from the master data table and links to the cats table to show absence hours...
in bex, all employees are showing and some of the employees have hours showing for sick time. this is known as a left outer join.
i have created a report in crystal with this bex query and it does not show rows from the master data that do not have a link to the cats table. only the rows that have a link to the cats table are showing up. (this is compared to a inner join)
the reason i need the master data from the employee table is that the users want to divide the total hours off(sick time) per department by the total employees in that department.
here is the sql query from crystal that was created automatically when i used the bex query to created the crystal report.
SELECT {Measures.4J8L2TQJ3P517ISQ1R4Y8UZ36, Measures.4J9PY3UANRIW2HW15YSOED92A, Measures.4J9TLIO0NDQROSA2YONCW6HB6}
ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY
CROSSJOIN(0EMPLOYEE.LEVEL01.MEMBERS, 0EMPLOYEE__0COMP_CODE.LEVEL01.MEMBERS)
DIMENSION PROPERTIES 0EMPLOYEE.50COMP_CODE, 0EMPLOYEE.50MAST_CCTR ON ROWS
FROM ZCATS_MC1/ZZCATS_MC1_Q001C
SAP VARIABLES 0I_DAYS INCLUDING 0CALDAY.20100502 : 0CALDAY.20100903
i am using the mdx driver, and the integration kit is 2.8.
any thoughts?
thanks,
erik

Thanks Ingo for the quick response.
this sounds like a limitation in the integration between bex and crystal because the query shows the correct data and the crystal reports does not. i have tried to add a calculated key figure to all the rows and put a number in it but it still does not show the rows in crystal.
my issue is that they(the business users) want to know all the employees in the employee master data along with all the sick / illness data.
do you have a suggestion for this issue?
do you think that the mdx driver should be updated to allow master data to flow to crystal?
thx,
Erik
