FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.x
SYMPTOM(s):
Fatal error. Save your report, exit and restart Report Builder (9)
CAUSE:
1) The most common reason we have seen for getting Fatal Error 9 involves using a database field in a function within a calculated field. If the data in the database field is longer than the database field display format (from the Data Dictionary) this error occurs.
Some functions have been fixed in Version 8 including the PREVIOUS() and CAPS() functions.
2) Another cause of the error is when an invalid format is specified as the second argument to the STRING() function. The second argument to the STRING() function is supposed to be a valid data type for the first argument.
3) If a character field has a value in the _decimals field in the _Fields table (in the database schema) SQL interprets as the limit for the number of characters in the field. If the _Decimals field is set to 0, the report works correctly.
FIX:
Upgrade to Progress 8.3E
