Why Would Crystal Change all "string" values to hexidecimal

We are running Crystal Reports version 11 and using it to access a ISeries DB2 Database. We use the OLE DB (ADO) connedction to the ISeries. We have had several reports running for months, then last Friday when we ran one of the reports Crystal indicated "The database file XXXX has changed; Proceeding to fix up the Report".
When we click OK the fix appears to take place BUT the report fails with a SQL0103 Numeric Contant error. The error is on a "Character" fields but the value has a 0x prefixed to the string. If I look at teh SQL, the SQL being run, it is bad, it has 0x prefixed to teh criteria used on the where and the value is being treated as numeric, it does not contain the single quotes.
Also, after the so called "Database Changed; proceeding to fix", If I display the values in the database for any of the "String" defined fields....the display shows them in hexidecimal.
The Tables Crystal thinks has changed HAVE NOT changed. There are no modifications to these tables so I'm not quite sure why Crystal thinks they have been changed.
I'm not sure if I'm in the proper forum or not. I wanted to call Crystal support BUT it appears they have abonded talking to users, now we must go through forums.
If any one can help on this mees, I'd appreciate it.

Crystal reports tries to find any differences in the database structure, Crystal displays a message to the
effect that u201CThe database file u2018tblxxxxu2019 has been changed. Proceeding to fix up the report!u201D.
You will see this message once for each table that does not match Crystalu2019s internal map
of that table. The OK button (your only option) in response to this available.
If a Report includes subreports, then, when you do a verify the database operation (from the main report),
Crystal checks the main report and all the subreports to see if any of the tables have changed. If it finds any
tables that have changed, it displays the same u201Cu2026u2026Proceeding to fix up the report!u201D message and you must
click OK on all those messages. Next, you must rerun the verify operation again, until you get the u201CThe
database is up to dateu201D message, once for the main report and once for each subreport. (For example, if a
report includes 3 subreports, you will get the u201CThe database is up to dateu201D message four times).
if you do not have the data enclosed in single quotes once the sql statement is assembled, tries to make it into a number. look at your string value of your sql statement and check that you have everything in the correct ; I suspect you have a missing set of single quotes.
Thanks,

  • After recent Verizon upgrade, my music files are messed up.  Used to be able to see all artists.  Now only some artists display and there's one giant file of "unkown".  Why would that change affter the upgrade?

    Prior to March, 2015 upgrade, all my music appeared by Artist.  After the March, 2015, upgrade, about half of my music appears by Artist and then there's one giant "unknown" file.  Why would this change with the upgrade?  Makes my music unsearchable unless I want to search by the song name or album name. 

    You can try an app like Album Art in the Play Store and it will take any tag info and find and sort music.  Should work unless the music files were altered during update, in that case you'd need to remove those files and re-add them to the phone.

  • Why can't I select just one album under artist view and listen to it from beginning to end anymore? Why would you change that?

    Why can't I go under artist view in music app, select 1 of multiple albums by a specific artist and play the whole album from beginning to end? Why would you have it automatically shuffle between songs from several albums by the same artist automatically? How do we change this back to previous function because this is sucking big time for a music lover.

    I agree this is a really dumb change and I really hope Apple changes it back to the way it was.
    In iOS 6 and earlier when you were in the Music player and selected ARTIST it would show a list sorted by artist. When you selected the artist you wanted, it would show a list of their albums.  Then you could select the album and see the list of songs.  In iOS 7 after you select Artist, it displays the album and every track, so you have to scroll down through not only the album but every track on that album.   That was a really stupid change on Apple's part.  Makes no sense.
    Here is the list of albums under iOS 6.x...
    and here is what is looks like under iOS 7.0
    In iOS 7.0 you have to scroll down through all the songs to see the other albums.  That can be a really pain if you have a large music collection.
    Please Apple change it back to the way it was!!  This didn't need to change!

  • Why Would Crystal Reports read more than it prints

    Hi everyone,
    In my case My record selection is based on the following:
    {FACILITY}=1
    And {payment_code} In ["110","111","112","115","116","117"]
    And {service_code} = "COPAY"
    And {date_of_receipt} in [{?From Date} to {?To Date}]
    And yet for any parameter selection set crystal reports would read - say - 1000 records but prints only 25 records, the question is if the records found according to the selected values from parameter and the record selection formula, is only 25 records, then why would it read 1000 records? what is the reason? and how to avoid it?
    Thanks in advance!

    It may also be what the numbers are telling you is the filter (WHERE) cannot be pushed down to the Server so CR has to filter it client side on the second pass.
    Likely due to the data range, quite often the date format is not compliant to the Server so CR has to "interpret" the date format so it ends up filtering client side.
    Try commenting out that part of the selection formula and see if you get the same number of records read. If you do then you could try using a SQL Express to convert the date fields or possibly using a Command and Command Parameter to set the date range may work for you. This way the DB is definitely getting the date formatted for it's server side use.

  • Why does the 'change all' button for file extensions revert the program?

    Hi Chaps,
    I have a piece of analysis software produce a file with the extension .jdf and I need to open it with a particullar piece of software called Mestrenova to manipulate it. The problem is...jdf is also the extension of the Adobe acrobat job definition file. I can go into the file in snow lepord with 'get info' and change the individual files to default open with Mestrenova BUT as soon as I hit the 'change all' button, ALL .jdf files revert back to Acrobat defualt. It's infuriating and I have no idea how to resolve it without installing 3rd party software, which I'd rather not.
    Can anyone help?

  • Why would you change something that is perfect?

    Ok.... Long time Xperia customer here. have had all three and am currently on the Z3. these are the best phones I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
    up until now I have never had a complaint other than the durability of the glass screen on the z2 but anyway...
    so I just downloaded this update that is totally uncalled for. My phone is no running slow and lagging my talk to text is not working anywhere near as good as it was before the update. Everything is slow now.
    and this is a big one here. I cannot for the life of me figure out why you would change the picture choice format when attaching an image to a text message. there was absolutely nothing wrong with it it worked perfectly the layout was absolutely perfect. But for some reason you guys felt that it was too perfect I guess. I need this changed back to normal.
    This is very important my phone is substandard now to what it was prior to this malicious update.

  • Why would Airport change subnet mask?

    Hello all.. kinda new to this stuff and was looking around for an answer, but couldn't find my exact situation.  So, forgive me if I ask some stupid questions... Ok, I have MacBook Pro, and recently had to do a reset on my modem/router, and now this particular computer won't connect wirelessly. I also have a macbook air, and connects fine wirelessly.  It seems I have narrowed it down to the subnet mask... maybe, but not completely sure.  Just to be clear, I don't have the Airport express, I am just simply talking about the airport function built in to connect to a wireless network (not sure if it's called something different, or is the one on the actual computer just called airport?).  So, going into the airport utility does nothing for me.  It can't find any wireless devices.  And everything I have read has been talking about going into that program and changing things.  Anyways, I tried connecting automatically (using DHCP) and manually, but nothing helps.  My macbook air gets a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, while it has now started giving my macbook pro a 255.255.0.0. And I'm assuming my router is still configured for 255.255.255.0, but now my computer isn't.. How is that possible?  Just wondering if anyone knew why this was happening and/or how I can fix it.  Like I said, I'm not a genius with this stuff, but any help would be appreciated.  Thanks for your help!  And if I have missed any important information, let me know..  

    Unless you have an Apple-brand Wi-Fi base station, AirPort Utility is of no use to you.
    It might help to reset the connection settings on your MacBook Pro using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".  Note that the fix this step implements may be temporary.
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try.  Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.  If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • Labour activity change all activities value should be change

    HI PP  Guru,
    i getting problem in activities type. i have 6 activities type in on work center. our client requirement is  when he will do the confirmation. he will change the value of labour activity.and same time other 5 activities  value should be change according to labour value change
    i have define  formula
    1st i have taken  value from operation qty in labour
    formula for labour  : labour qty * operation qty / base qty
    and other formula for 5 activities
    X * labour qty / base qty...........where X is activities type
    kindly suggest me woh  it will be effect  others activities  value when labour value  qty change at the time of confirmation
    regards
    Aqueel

    Dear ,
    Did you assing any Activity Type in Work Centre -Costing tab ?? What is SAP Standard Vaule are you using in CR02-Work centre ?? Do you have only labour activity  which can be the only Standard Value key ??
    Your labour activity values can change based on actual work  but you can not change the Activity type at Confiramtion level .Activity Type can be control either from Work Centre or you can choose at routing operation if they are not assinged in Work centre .
    I think you have total six activity type ( as per KP26)  for same work centre and it depends on the Labour activity .It means , you will not use any pre-determined activity type in costing Tab -CR02 -Work centre  but have six formula key  .
    As far as I know , you have the option  at routing level to choose the Acitvity type in CA02-Hit on operation details -Double Click -Stabdard Value Tab -Choose the Activity Type  but   all this activity type should be under same Cost elements and Cost centre based on the KP26  ( Allocation of cost element ) .
    In our case , we have only labour activity based on skill .So we have group of skilled labour with certain activity type /Formula key   and they are identifed as one Work Center .Like wise we have a set of 7 kind of skilled labout group and they are individaul work centre .We do not assing any activity type in work centre .Either we slecet/change  at routing level  and then carry Read PP master data before GMPS , CNF of order .This is basically  based various activity type .
    But in your case , is it Labour hrs getting changes than actual plan ??
    Just explain your Work centre  , Standard Values and Activity Type  so that forum can also put their comments.
    Regards

  • Why would iPhoto consolidate all of my events in to one?  How do I get it back to separating my 22,000 photos back to their event foldres?

    I had my iPhoto window open.  When I went to look at it, in the "Photos" Library, all of my Events and 22,788 photos were consolidated in to two folders.  Previous to this, I had hundreds of Events as I was using them to view my photos easily. 
    Why did this happen?  What did I do?  Can I get it back to it's previous layout?!
    Heeeellllpppp....p
    Angela

    You're not getting this?
    If not do the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Why did iCal change all times when it changed to wintertime?

    When wintertime (normal time) occurred the night before sunday, my Mac and my iPhone automaticaly changed. But not just that: all time settings for meetings and appointments were set back one hour!
    What do I do?

    kell3,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    One of the first things to try is "refresh" the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.
    If that is unsuccessful, try resetting iSync. To do that you need to open iSync, and choose iSync>Preferences>Reset Sync History...
    If duplicates are not resolved on your iPhone, open "Settings" on the iPhone>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks>Accounts>your MobileMe account and turn off Calendars, when prompted delete data, and wait two minutes, then turn Calendars back on. When asked to merge the data, make that choice, and wait patiently. You should no longer have duplicates. If you are able, I recommend using a Wi-Fi connection to make the change.

  • My Favorites, imported from Explorer, used to appear in the Menu bar as "Favorites," now I have to menu down thru bookmarks to find them. Why did this change all of a sudden?

    The last few weeks, my firefox has been acting up. Sometimes when I load it, my RoboCom Icon does not appear, sometimes it does. Now, I lost "Favorites" in my menu bar.

    Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    Make sure that all the toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

  • After downloading itunes it changes all my icons to the itunes icon and the only software that opens is itunes? to

    Why does itune change all the icons on my desktop to the itune icon after downloading?  Then resulting in the only software that will open is itunes?

    Hiya Katrina! I might have accidentally made some progress on this one yesterday.
    Every time I've seen it reported and I've tried to do some work on it, it has only affected one user account on the PC.
    So ... it might be related to a damaged icon cache for the affected user account. (There's one of those for each different user account on the PC. This is what I accidentally learned yesterday while trying to research a fix for a slightly different problem.)
    If that's what is going on, rebuilding the icon cache might get folks past it:
    http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/how-to-rebuild-the-icon-cache-in-windows-vista /
    ... Trouble is that that's all educated(?) guesswork/speculation, and the procedure looks a bit hairy. It's the sort of thing where I'd definitely be setting a System Restore Point for the system prior to giving it a go.
