Problem with running bitmap report in Oracle 6i

Question

Hello,
I am running a report from a form using run_product in client/server enviroment. And I use the same code in all forms that run reports. In test enviroment, everything works normally. But in customer enviroment there is weird behaviour. Some reports need a lot of time to be executed, and when they are finally finished, report previewer is not maximized as it is in test enviroment. And more important problem is that one report doesn't execute at all. Report background engine is started but report doesn't come out at all.
Here is code which I use to run reports:
declare
izvestaj      varchar2(15);
pListName varchar2(20) := 'parList';
dt      varchar2(6) := 'Screen';
pList      paramlist;
BEGIN
izvestaj := 'EBS12';
begin
pList := get_parameter_list(pListName);
if not id_null(pList) then
destroy_parameter_list(pList);
end if;
pList := create_parameter_list(pListName);
if (not id_null(pList)) then
add_parameter(pList, 'P_PREDUZECE', text_parameter, to_char(:kontrolni.preduzece_id));
add_parameter(pList, 'P_PRENOS', text_parameter, to_char(:prenos.id));
add_parameter(pList, 'P_RAD', text_parameter, :prenos.chk_radnik);
add_parameter(pList, 'P_LOK', text_parameter, :prenos.chk_lokacija);
add_parameter(pList, 'P_ZAR', text_parameter, :prenos.chk_isplata);
add_parameter(pList, 'P_RAS', text_parameter, :prenos.chk_raspored);
add_parameter(pList, 'P_NAL', text_parameter, :prenos.chk_nalet);
add_parameter(pList, 'P_BEZ_RAS', text_parameter, :prenos.bez_rasporeda);
add_parameter(pList, 'P_STATUS', text_parameter, to_char(:prenos.status));
add_parameter(pList, 'P_RAD_ID', text_parameter, to_char(:prenos.radnik_id));
add_parameter(pList, 'P_SORT', text_parameter, to_char(:prenos.redosled));
add_parameter(pList, 'PARAMFORM', text_parameter,'NO');
add_parameter(pList,'DESTYPE',text_parameter,dt);
run_product(reports, izvestaj, synchronous, runtime, filesystem, pList, null);
end if;
exception
when others then
set_alert_property('cfg_error',alert_message_text,'Poziv izveštaja nije uspeo! '||sqlerrm);
if (alert_button1=show_alert('cfg_error')) then null;
end if;
raise form_trigger_failure;           
end;
END;
Is it maybe some enviroment settings problem and if yes, what should I pay attention on?
Tnx in advance,

Hello,
When you put a block on a "new stacked canvas" that canvas is generated as a popup canvas. If that popup overlaps with some other generated items (for instance: items in master block) Forms will not show it.
You can try showing that popup canvas programatically with Show_View('canvas_name') in When-New-Form-Instance and see what happens.

P.S. Why do you have to put detail block on a popup canvas? Why don't you simply put it on a "same content canvas"?
