Report Builder 8.2B - Release notes - Known issues

NOTE: Progress Version 8.2B has now been replaced with a newer
release. The following KnowledgeBase article still applies for
anyone still using version 8.2B. However, if the user encounters
difficulties he or she should upgrade to the current release.

The following document is preserved for historical purposes only:


Limitations (taken from the Release Notes) :

* This Report Builder patch will not operate against a PROGRESS
Version 8.2B Personal Database Server. Either a Workgroup or
Enterprise Database product configuration must be used.

* If the RB-NO-WAIT parameter is set to "no" and RB-PRINTER-NAME
or RB-PRINTER-PORT is "?" or ?, Report Engine will display the
'Printer Setup' Dialog. If the user then chooses the 'Setup...'
button, this brings up the Windows Printer Properties and both
PROGRESS and Report Engine will hang. If the user chooses OK or
Cancel on the dialog, this will dismiss it but Report Engine
can't continue.

This works fine if RB-NO-WAIT = yes.

* If a report does not specify a sort order, the 8.2 database may
return records in a different order than the database did, the
report will contain the same records, but they won't necessarily
be in the same order.

* If the RB-NO-WAIT parameter is "no" (i.e., yes, wait) and
RB-DISPLAY-ERRORS = yes, and there is a problem connecting to the
database as saved in the report definition or as specified in

RB-DB-CONNECTION, prore.exe will GPF and the client will hang.

Solution: set RB-NO-WAIT to yes (no, don't wait) or
set RB-DISPLAY-ERRORS to no.

* The default values for -cpstream and -cpterm changed in 8.2.
They now have the same value as -cpinternal. This affects the
Code page used when exporting reports.

Solution: Specify -cpstream and -cpterm in rbstart.pf to be the
same as -cpinternal in rbstart.pf.

* The default -yy in the 8.2 PROGRESS client is 1950.
Report Builder's default -yy is still 1900.
