Compile report in 6i problem

Question

Hi All,
Encounter a weird problem, scenario as below:
Programmer A:
(1) OS: WinXP
(2) Database A : Oracle 8i, HP-Unix machine
(2) report builder 6i: Create a report and connect to database A to compile and
generate the rep file.
(3)Distribute the rep file to branch office file server.
End User B:
(1)OS: WinXP
(2)Database B: Oracle 8I, HP-unix machine
(3)Execute rep file in report runtime which connect to database B
Fail to run the report when execute it disappear automatically.
But when connect to Database A, it can run it properly.
And get the source and compile in Database B, the rep can run in both
Database A and B ?
p/s: All the object are exactly same in database A and B !
Any idea ? Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I have done some simple testing:
function BeforeReport return boolean is
begin
if pu_check_ok then
     return (TRUE);
else
     return (FALSE);
end if;
end;
FUNCTION pu_check_ok RETURN BOOLEAN IS
BEGIN
return(pu_return);
END;
FUNCTION pu_return RETURN BOOLEAN IS
cursor c1 is
select 'TESTING'
from dual;
BEGIN
     open c1;
     fetch c1 into :CP_1;     
     close c1;
return(TRUE);
END;
When I compile this report in database1, and send to user to run run the report (*.rep) in database2, the report hang. FYI, when I check in System Monitor (tools in Win98), the Kernel Processor Usage reach to 100%.
But, if I compile again by connecting database2 and run in database2, it can run without problem.
Else, if I add another dummy cursor in function BeforeReport, it can be ran in both database1 and database 2.
