Long Printer Names.
Field Formats for RB-PRINTER-NAME & RB-PRINTER-PORT too small causing the error because the default format for the fields in the RBREPORT table is "x(32)". ESQL doesn't have the capability of the Progress database to store both display and storage format for fields. Consequently, when Report Builder tries to access values from the Progress database, it reads values in their display format.
When you use Table Interface of the Report Engine and store long printer names/port references in the RB-PRINTER-NAME or RB-REPORT-NAME fields, Report Builder sees only the first 32 characters of the printer/port name.
This is fixed in patch 8.3C.
