Tick labels format in a dynamicaly generated graphic

Question

Hello all,
I have a form in which the user select some parameters for the graphics.
I have a grafic.ogd file which has 4 templates, parameters and procedures.
Dependending on the selection in the form i drow the graphic dynamicaly with
the following procedure:
default_format='999,999,999,999';
the_template := og_get_template(:template);
qtype := OG_Sql_Qtype;
qsource := :sqlquery;
the_query := OG_Make_Query(Qtype, qsource);
OG_Set_Name(the_query, 'q');
--OG_Execute_Query(Query);
/* set the name of the chart */
emp_chart.chart_caob.name := 'achart';
/* set the size of the plot frame */
emp_chart.chart_caoc.frame.x := 1*OG_INCH;
emp_chart.chart_caoc.frame.y := .4*OG_INCH;
emp_chart.chart_caoc.frame.height := 3*OG_INCH;
emp_chart.chart_caoc.frame.width := 3*OG_INCH;
/* set the template and query to use */
emp_chart.chart_caoc.template := the_template;
emp_chart.chart_caoc.query := the_query;
/* set the masks for all the above */
emp_chart.chart_caob.mask := OG_NAME_GENERICA;
emp_chart.chart_caog.mask := OG_NONE_GROUPA;
emp_chart.chart_caoc.mask := OG_ALL_CHARTA;
-- emp_chart.chart_caoc.mask := OG_TITLE_CHARTA;
--emp_chart.chart_caoc.title := 'bla bla blA';
/* make the chart */
the_chart := og_make(emp_chart);
indep_field.field_type := OG_INDEPENDENT;
indep_field.colname := returnalias(1,:coloane);
indep_field.ftname := 'field_tmp';
/* insert it into the chart in the 0th position */
og_insert_field(the_chart, indep_field, 0);
i:=2;
while i<=:nrcol loop
dep_field.field_type := OG_DEPENDENT;
dep_field.colname := returnalias(i,:coloane);
dep_field.ftname := 'field_tmp';
/* insert it into the chart in the last position */
og_insert_field(the_chart, dep_field, OG_LAST);
i:=i+1;
end loop;
/* execute the query for the first time */
og_execute_query(the_query);
settitle(:titlu);
if length(:axaox) <> 0 then
setxlabel(:axaox);
end if;
if length(:axaoy) <> 0 then
setylabel(:axaoy);
end if;
if to_number(:maxs) <> 0 or to_number(:step) <> 0 then
setscale(to_number(:mins), to_number(:step), to_number(:maxs));
end if;
/*acilea stabilim formatul de ticklabel*/
axis_y := og_get_axis(the_template, og_y1_axis);
axis_x := og_get_axis(the_template, og_x_axis);
og_set_disc_numfmt(axis_y, default_format);
og_set_disc_numfmt(axis_x, default_format);
/* update the chart so the new field and query
** information will take effect */
og_update_chart(the_chart, OG_ALL_CHUPDA);
On the axis i have 500,000 and 1,000,000 tick labels. 500,000 is shown ok
but 1,000,000 is something like that ########.
It looks like og_set_disc_numfmt is not executed.
If someone knows what's wrong please tell me!
Thanx

Hello David,
The reason for this problem is probably related to the FlateDecode compression described  in SAP Note 843480 (PDF conversion: Compression of bitmaps and TrueType fonts).
Try switching off the usage of FlateDecode compression again via report RSTXPDF3 as described in Note #843480.
It is a little confusing. The option 'FLATE_COMPR_OFF' needs to be set to 'On' to turn off the FlateDecode compression.
To set this run as follows:
   se38 -> RSTXPDF3 -> enter 'FLATE_COMPR_OFF' in the 'Name' field
         -> Select 'Change Settings' radio button
You will get a pop-up 'Do not use flat compression'.
Select the 'on' button.
After this create a new PDF and check if the problem is resovled.
Regards,
Aidan
