DIscoverer output different from toad

Question

Hi
I have an apps mode EUL (Discoverer 10.1.2.2 , EBS R12 and Oracle 11g database)
I have a custom folder for onhand material analysis.
The output will be something like below
Item Onhand Batch Start Date Requirement for this batch Net-Onhand
ABC 1000 22-Jul-2009 100 900
ABC 900 24-Jul-2009 50 850
ABC 850 26-Jul-2009 25 825
And so on sorted by item and batch start date
The purpose is to view demand vs availability for a time span,
And if an item satisfies all the demand (final net-onhand >0) it need not be shown in the report.
The custom folder i wrote worked alright during testing for 5 items and date range of 6 months.
However, it is showing wrong results when run for all items in an org for a given planner.
This when the sql itself when run in toad does work as expected.
Here is my sql. The conditions commented out are applied at the workbook. What could be reason for the difference in the query output in discoverer vs toad.

Hi Ariv,
Hmm, only other difference I've had is when you set your NLS settings in SQL*Developer / Oracle Client (TOAD) and get no rows in _VL views etc.
But it sounds like your issue is combining folders in the discoverer BA ... perhaps there's a wayward join?
Have you tried running/comparing the SQL generated from the workbook/sheet itself using View SQL in Discoverer (or sql trace)?
PS. Yes a few posts on the blog still going strong, been a tad busy in the last few months, so no time to post new stuff :-( but plenty coming up once I get a chance :-)
Regards,
Gareth
