Error on Report but only on deployed code.

When I generate my report on my development machine from within Visual Studio, reports generate fine.

However, I'm having a problem with generating some reports on my released version (it works on some reports but consistently having the same problem on certain other reports).

The report is very simple - it consists of 60 formula fields set to "{FieldX}" ie x=1 to 60 to display a variable.

The code sets all the variables and then compiles and renders the form.

The variables are all preset to null in the form (ie it previews ok in the designer).

I get an error on the compile/render phase. The error raised is no 5 and is described as "c:\DOCUME~1\spv\LOCALS~1\Temp\su1tfkr.0.vb(556,0) : error BC30205: End of statement expected.

This same report works in other circumstances (running through the same code but with different data).

I'm guessing it's a problem with the variables but I can't think a) what, or b) how to fix it!

Anybody any thoughtsd on how I can trace the problem down further so I can fix it ?

Thanks in advance
Simon

Please check what version of StimulReport.Net you are use on development machine and on other macnihes.

Please provide your code - how you initialize variables.

Thank you.

The versions of stimulsoft on both machines is identical (the version on the deployed system is installed by the installer created by my project.

The code generating the report is :

Code: Select all

Private Function CreateStimulReport(ByVal FormName As String, ByVal FieldNames() As String, ByVal FieldData() As String) As Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport

        ' Create and Return Report

        Dim tmpReport(0) As Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport
        tmpReport(0) = New Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport


        tmpReport(0).Load("c:\dms\forms\" & FormName & ".mrt")
        Dim PageNo As Int32 = 0
        Dim dct As Int32 = FieldNames.GetLength(0) - 1
        For cnt As Int32 = 0 To dct

            If FieldNames(cnt) = "@PAGE" Then
                ' Create New Page
                If tmpReport(PageNo).Pages.Count > 0 Then
                    tmpReport(PageNo).Compile()
                    tmpReport(PageNo).Render()
                    If PageNo > 0 Then tmpReport(0).RenderedPages.AddRange(tmpReport(PageNo).RenderedPages)
                    ReDim Preserve tmpReport(tmpReport.GetLength(0))
                    PageNo = PageNo + 1
                    tmpReport(PageNo) = New Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport
                    tmpReport(PageNo).Load("c:\dms\forms\" & FormName & ".mrt")

                End If
            Else

                Try
                    Debug.WriteLine("Setting Field [" & FieldNames(cnt) & "] = " & FieldData(cnt))
                    If FieldData(cnt).StartsWith(" ") Then FieldData(cnt) = Chr(30) & FieldData(cnt)
                    tmpReport(PageNo).Dictionary.Variables(FieldNames(cnt)).Value = FieldData(cnt).TrimEnd(" ")
                Catch
                    Debug.WriteLine("Err with field & " & FieldNames(cnt) & "  = " & Err.Description)
                End Try
            End If

        Next
        Try
            If tmpReport(PageNo).Pages.Count > 0 Then

                tmpReport(PageNo).Compile()
                tmpReport(PageNo).Render()
                If PageNo > 0 Then tmpReport(0).RenderedPages.AddRange(tmpReport(PageNo).RenderedPages)
            End If
        Catch
            MsgBox("error = " & Err.Number & " " & Err.Description)  [color=red]<------ it hits this line[/color]
        End Try

        ' tmpReport(0).Show()
        Return tmpReport(0)
    End Function

Can you say what type of variables you are use and assign?
Please send your report to support [at] stimulsoft [dot] com.

Thank you.

The variables are all string variables, and the data being set is all string (the form is being used to pick up a report from a "legacy" unix system via a socket call and render onto a report which has company logo's etc on it.)

I'll email the report now from my hotmail account.
