Helloo

I decleared a variable as a report input filed called var_ttyp
and I decleared an after field layout in my report and assigned to it var_ttyp as the field name.
now when I write in the report script
  after.tdsls045.ttyp.1
    before.layout:
      |Some Calaculations
     after.layout:
     |Some Calaculations

 after.var_ttyp.1:
    before.layout:
     |Some Calaculations
    after.layout:
     |Some Calaculations

when I compile I got this error:
Section 'before.layout' already defined
Section after.layout' already defined
Invalid transaction id 1 specifed.


Can anyone Heeeeeeeeeeeelp.
thankx.:)

I'm not sure if this is your issue, but if you have copied and pasted the code, then you are missing a ':' after the section heading of;
after.tdsls045.ttyp.1

Sorry this is not the issue , I alredy added a " :" but I didnt add it in my sample code.
But thankx anyway.

Are you sure that's not the error Peter, I can replicate it on our system, if it's not the error please post the complete script here.

Rupert

Hello rupertb
I am sending the code please check it out and tell me where is the mistake.
Thankx alot for your help I really appreciate it.

I can't see the mistake that the compiler is finding, however I see that you've built meaning into your data i.e. "JH" is the parent group of transaction types "JH1", "JH2", etc. and that you are indentifying the parent group by stripping off the third character... be careful this can cause you some headache in the future!

Let's call in the big guns here: Prashanth, Mark, Omeluuk Help!

if you comment out the paragraph starting from after.var_ttyp.1, does the code then compile?

Check the number of after.field layout (1 or ?)

yes MariaC if I comment out the paragraph starting from after.var_ttyp.1 it compiles without any problem, and yes isimeon
the number of after.field layout is 1.
I cant see the problem .:confused:
It Should work normally I guess..

And there is a report layout with that name on your report?

Hi,

Tested this and conclude that the compiler can not handle your variable var_ttyp. If you change it to var.ttyp your problem is solved. With var_ttyp I get the same error, with var.ttyp no problem.

YES YES YES thankx kbartelds it works u r the man :D .
and thankx to u all guies for your help.

but why the compiler cant handle the variable names that has underscore ?????!!!

Hi,

I think the underscore is threathend as a reserved symbol, look at a report debug object where it is used in report functions.

Klaas

threathendI guess you meant to type treated? :D
