hi,
I was making a report to excel and when i print it doesnt show the description of the record. It shows the equivalent code instead. can someone help me with this?

I am sure someone can help if you post the relevant code. That might allow us to see exactly what you are doing.

Hello,
in BaaN IV :

itemcode = tiitm001.item
item descr. = tiitm001.dsca

put both fields in your Report (Output).

Regards

Do you mean to say when you are printing it on the Display Browser you can see the field "description" but when you print it to ASCII Mode and then transfer it to Excel file , you cannot see the description?

For example:
In printing report.
Item Company
Mouse Microsoft

In Excel:
Item Company
Mouse S10000980

I want it to display as microsoft also. not the company code.

Hi,

You need to get the Description/Name using programming or by using that particular field on your report layout. It won't appear automatically.

e.g. If you use tccom100.bpid, it will give you the code.
If you give tccom100.nama it will give you the name

You can give the name of the table you are using to print the data and someone might suggest you a clue.
