Question

Hi,
I am using XMLP 5.5 and facing the following issue with a particular report. The issue is not encountered when tested in the XMLP 5.5 Desktop Viewer, but gives the following error when run EBS 11i10.
The following is the OPP log:

The issue is that it reads "Cannot convert to Number". But i am not sure as to which form field is causing this error as i dint encounter this issue while testing it with Template Viewer.
The template i am using contains lots of form-fields and its difficult now to determine which field is causing this error. Can someone in the forum help me in finding out which form field is causing this issue. Is there some way i can find that a particular field in the template is causing this issue.
TIA,
Nitin Jain

Hi Nitin
1. Do you have 5.5 installed in Apps? They must match if you have used any 5.5 features in your template and you do not have 5.5 on the server then you are going to get issues.
I suspect its not #1 but be sure.
2. Are you carrying out any calculations in your template or formatting a field as a number ?
It might be working on your test data because that is good data. When running live you may be getting bad data or nulls and you are not handling it in your template correctly?
The only real way is to start removing sections of the report and testing until you can pinpoint the problem. Then check to see if the data is corrupted in that field.
In the next release (of course) things gets better around errors and warnings.
