Missing half of the report!

Longtime Crystal developer and I'm completely stumped!
We converted code over to .net 3 years ago.  We're running VS 2005/SqlServer 2005 and Crystal for VS2005.
We have appox 200 reports that converted and everything's fine with them. I have one report that's giving me fits. Our standard platform was XP but we're moving to 7 and that's why I'm here.
This one report has a special page size - it's half a regular 8.5x11 - it's 8.5x5.5. I have to define the form in Windows and assign the form to the printer. The printer is a dot-matrix Okidata that we've used for 12 years now. So, all that has been running fine on XP except at some of my locations, ONLY THE LEFT SIDE of the report (it's actually a bill of lading ticket) printed out. I "fidgited" around and finally got it to work, but I don't remember one concrete thing that caused it. It's VERY WEIRD. Now this same report is having issues in 7 and I'm completely stumped. The report prints fine if I PREVIEW it first and then print, but if I print directly to the printer..no go.  I also have another set of companies that print a bill of lading that's 8x11 AND THAT PRINTS FINE.
I've defined a new .rpt and tried to print that and it's the same thing. So I can't tell whether it's VS, crystal report template, the special paper size or what.
One 'wrinkle' is that I don't actually call like "reportdocument" directly. What happens is that the Centura TD code was 'wrapped'
in .net code. But ALL the other reports print fine so I don't think it's that..
Any clues??

Heebie-jeebies is my 1st feel for this;
Centura TD code was 'wrapped' in .net code(???)
Printer is a dot-matrix Okidata that we've used for 12 years now
Eeek.
Anyhow. I'm pretty sure the printer is the issue here;
1) Crystal Reports requires that a printer driver be Unicode compliant. Most dot matrix printers are not, certainly not 12 year old printers.
2) Printer drivers these days must typically be coded specifically for the OS. I'm pretty sure a 12 year old printer driver is not coded for Win 7. And while other apps, etc., may work with that printer driver, CR may and probably will not.
Possible solutions;
1) Make sure you  are using SP1 for CR 10.2:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006007872008E/crvs05sp1.exe
I doubt SP1 will "fix" anything in this case, but weirder things have happened.
2) Check if Okidata has an updated printer driver for that printer - one that is Unicode compliant and certified for WIN 7 (I kind doubt it...)
3) 12 year old printer... as flip as it may sound, trying a newer printer may be the way to go

  • Saving ALV Grid to Local File issue - Missing half of the report

    Hi Experts, Good Day.
    I have developed an ALV Grid report using class CL_SALV_TABLE which displays 200 Columns and 100+ rows/records. It is displaying well, but when I am saving the output into local file (any type) there only 98 columns are downloading and remaining all the columns are missing.
    I would like to know whether there is any restriction for number of columns or what might the problem for it. How can I download all the columns into local file.
    Thanks in Adv.
    Vijay

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response. Even though there are multiple ways to send data to local file I believe all three are same. And even I am facing same issue all the ways. Only 98 Columns data is getting downloaded into Files (it might be .txt, .xls, etc.).
    After downloading first 98 Columns, I am hiding the downloaded columns and again I am downloading remaining columns. Then I am merging in the Excel file. This is very complicated for the End-User. So, please help me out.
    I have used only following methods for displaying ALV.
    For initial object/instance:
    CL_SALV_TABLE=>FACTORY,
    For ALV functions:
    CL_SAVL_TABLE->GET_FUNCTIONS,
    CL_SALV_FUNCTIONS_LIST->SET_ALL,
    For Column heading and Optimized width:
    CL_SALV_TABLE->GET_COLUMNS,
    CL_SALV_COLUMNS_TABLE->SET_OPTIMIZE,
    CL_SALV_COLUMNS_TABLE->GET_COLUMN,
    CL_SALV_COLUMN->SET_SHORT_TEXT,
    To display grid:
    CL_SALV_TABLE->DISPALY.
    - Thanks

  • Unable to open PNG, save for web, and missing half of the format options under save as.

    Using Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit with SP1.
    When using Photoshop CC 64-Bit, i am unable to save for web, open PNG, or save as for about half the format options. I don't have any additional plugins installed, nor have I messed with the plugins folder.
    When trying to open PNG files it says: Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
    Photoshop CC 32-Bit works without any of these issues. I'll be switching to 32-Bit until this is resolved. Hoping I don't have to uninstall/reinstall (Install files are huge and take forever to download and I don't know how to save them to the hard drive with CC, thanks).
    Chris

    Sounds like you are missing some of the required plugins - possibly an updater failed, or someone moved/deleted the wrong directory.
    Yes, you'll need to reinstall to restore the missing plugins.

  • Missing half of the filters menu

    I just installed Photoshop CS4 64-bit and I was going to throw some high pass over a copied image and found that half of the filters menu was gone.  I'm missing the following sections: Artistic, Brush Strokes, Sketch, Texture, Video, and Other.  I used the 30-day trial on another computer just as a demonstration, so I know they SHOULD be there.  And ideas friends?

    We might be able to help if you told us a bit more.
    For example:

  • Missing objects from the report editor...

    When some users try to create webi reports, they select their objects for the result and conditions, then they click Edit Reports under the Data tab, Documents - sometimes the objects don't show up?   Is that a problem on the Client side or Server side?

    No, they have not tried that - but one of the users cleared their cookies and files under Internet Options - and now they see the objects?

  • Missing bottom half of the Sony Ericsson Sync screen

    Hi!
    After logging in to Sony Ericsson Sync at http://www.sonyericsson.com/wportal/uss/promotion?cc=se&lc=sv I am missing half of the screen. I see the status part (last sync, and links to Contacts/Calendar/Bookmarks/Notes/Settings), but not the bottom half as depicted here:
    This means I am unable to add a new phone for synchronization, which is a bit annoying.
    I've tried in Opera, Iceweasel (Firefox) and Chrome, both from home and from my office, and I get the same problems everywhere.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have no experience of my own from other sync services so I'm not sure which one you could use instead.
    Have a look at this list here and see if you can find any that suits you.

  • EPM 2013 Report is displayed as cut off and shows less than half the width of the report in IE 10 and IE 9.

    EPM 2013 Report is displayed as cut off and shows less than half the width of the report in IE 10 and IE 9.  This issue occurs for some users only.I tried the same url in google chrome and is working fine.
    Can you please help.
    Please find the attached screenshot.

    Hi BJ1986,
    According to your description, I think this issue is caused by the IE browser that runs the report. To trouble shoot this issue, I suggest that we can try to clear internet temporary files, cookies and others in IE browser. And also add this site
    as a trusted site in IE browser to check this issue again.
    If this issue is still existed, it can also be occurred due to the setting or third party add-ons of Internet Explorer (IE). In this scenario, you can try to run IE in compatibility mode to check the issue again. Or I suggest that you can refer to the
    steps below to troubleshoot the issue:
    Click Tools -> Internet options.
    Switch to the Security tab, click Local intranet, and then select Default level.
    Switch to the Advanced tab, and click Restore advanced settings.
    Temporarily disable third party add-ons. For detailed steps, please see the link below:

    ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
    ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
    Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
    On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
    Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
    As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
    Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
    I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

  • One field is missing in downloading the file from report

    Hi Friends,
    I have a problem with downloading the file from SAP.
    Actually the report has to download 6 fields from the list of the report to a .txt file on the presentation server. But it is downloading only 5 fields. The missing field is DEA#. Actually now i have to fix that problem.
    I found that in the download process they have not inlcuded the DEA# field.
    Here in this 1 field is not getting dowloading from the list of the report to the text file.
    I'm giving a portion of the code.
    Like this they r calling the FM:
    FORM DOWNLOAD_FILE.
      CALL FUNCTION 'DOWNLOAD'
           EXPORTING
                FILENAME = P_OUTFIL
           TABLES
                DATA_TAB = I_OUTPUT.
      IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
        WRITE:/ 'Error downloading file'.
      ENDIF.
    in code we have,
    data: v_output type t_output,
    data: i_output type t_output occurs 0.
    and,
    BEGIN OF T_OUTPUT,
           RECORD(200),
           END OF T_OUTPUT.
    when i debug the program,
    the record field is showing only the 5 fields not the missing 6th filed)DEA#).
    and we have another FORM :
    *&      Form  FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS
          Insert tabs between fields so when uploaded in Excel, the
          record will be separated into columns where a tab is found.
    FORM FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS.
      LOOP AT I_KNA1 INTO V_KNA1.
        CONCATENATE: V_KNA1-KUNNR
                     V_KNA1-NAME1
                     V_KNA1-NAME2
                     V_KNA1-STRAS
                     V_KNA1-ORT01
                     V_KNA1-REGIO
                     V_KNA1-PSTLZ
           INTO V_OUTPUT SEPARATED BY C_TAB.
        APPEND V_OUTPUT TO I_OUTPUT.
        CLEAR V_OUTPUT.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDFORM.                               " FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS
    If you look into this FM, there is no mention of DEA# field,
    i hve tried to correct it by adding the "v_likp_dea" in the FM. when i did like this it is showing the DEA# field in the downloaded .txt file but only 1 value for all the records.
    My question is for each record i have to show its unique DEA#.
    I guess i could do this by putting it in loop, could anybody tell me how i can i do that, Please
    Thank you very much.
    Raj.

    In the subroutine format_file_with_tabs ,
    You should read  it_likp with the key that uniquely identifies for dea# . This should be done in the loop at i_kna1.
    Suppose kunnr identifies a unique dea# in it_likp internal table , then you should write
    FORM FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS.
    LOOP AT I_KNA1 INTO V_KNA1.
    clear v_likp.
    read table it_likp into v_likp
       with key kunnr = v_kna1-kunnr binary search.   (should sort the itab to use binary search with read. )
    CONCATENATE: V_KNA1-KUNNR

  • Missing column at the end of report in Crystal report server 2008 VI

    When we run the reports in Crystal report server 2008 VI, for some reports we see the last column is missing some characters. I have few reports that show numbers with decimals at the end of the report, but in CMC it cuts the number at the start of the decimal. I only see the numbers upto the decimal. When I run the same report in Crystal designer, everything works fine.
    I had the same problem with CR developer 2008 and I used the following code to fix it:
    Private Sub SetMargins(ByVal myReportDocument As ReportDocument, ByVal left As Integer, ByVal top As Integer, ByVal right As Integer, ByVal bottom As Integer)
            Dim myPageMargins As PageMargins
            myPageMargins = myReportDocument.PrintOptions.PageMargins
            myPageMargins.leftMargin = left

            myPageMargins.bottomMargin = bottom

  • I have request in the report level but the same is missing in the infocube

    Dear Experts,
    I have request in the report level but the same is missing in the compressed infocube level. What could be the cause? does the compressed infocube deletes the request ? if so, I could able to view other requests under infocube manage level.
    Kindly provide with enough information.
    Thanks.............

    Hi
    Compressing InfoCubes
    Use
    When you load data into the InfoCube, entire requests can be inserted at the same time. Each of these requests has its own request ID, which is included in the fact table in the packet dimension. This makes it possible to pay particular attention to individual requests. One advantage of the request ID concept is that you can subsequently delete complete requests from the InfoCube.
    However, the request ID concept can also cause the same data record (all characteristics agree, with the exception of the request ID) to appear more than once in the fact table. This unnecessarily increases the volume of data, and reduces performance in reporting, as the system has to perform aggregation using the request ID every time you execute a query.
    Using compressing, you can eliminate these disadvantages, and bring data from different requests together into one single request (request ID 0).
    This function is critical, as the compressed data can no longer be deleted from the InfoCube using its request ID. You must be absolutely certain that the data loaded into the InfoCube is correct.
    Features
    You can choose request IDs and release them to be compressed. You can schedule the function immediately or in the background, and can schedule it with a process chain.
    Compressing one request takes approx. 2.5 ms per data record.
    With non-cumulative InfoCubes, compression has an additional effect on query performance. Also, the marker for non-cumulatives in non-cumulative InfoCubes is updated. This means that, on the whole, less data is read for a non-cumulative query, and the reply time is therefore reduced. See also Modeling of Non-Cumulatives with Non-Cumulative Key Figures.
    If you run the compression for a non-cumulative InfoCube, the summarization time (including the time to update the markers) will be about 5 ms per data record.
    If you are using an Oracle database as your BW database, you can also carry out a report using the relevant InfoCube in reporting while the compression is running. With other manufacturers’ databases, you will see a warning if you try to execute a query on an InfoCube while the compression is running. In this case you can execute the query once the compression has finished executing.
    If you want to avoid the InfoCube containing entries whose key figures are zero values (in reverse posting for example) you can run a zero-elimination at the same time as the compression. In this case, the entries where all key figures are equal to 0 are deleted from the fact table.
    Zero-elimination is permitted only for InfoCubes, where key figures with the aggregation behavior ‘SUM’ appear exclusively. In particular, you are not permitted to run zero-elimination with non-cumulative values.
    For non-cumulative InfoCubes, you can ensure that the non-cumulative marker is not updated by setting the indicator No Marker Updating. You have to use this option if you are loading historic non-cumulative value changes into an InfoCube after an initialization has already taken place with the current non-cumulative. Otherwise the results produced in the query will not be correct. For performance reasons, you should compress subsequent delta requests.
