Custom Function Causing Crashing

[former_member1130374]

I created a custom function and ever since then the entire application crashes when inside the formula editor. I thought maybe it was a problem with the function so I managed to save it as this:

Function ()
""

It should not be causing a problem at this point. The application crashes 100% of the time if I click on the custom function once to open it and then a second time. It also crashes 100% of the time if I right click on the function. It's really annoying and I just want to delete the function but the option to delete it is grayed out on the toolbar and like I said, the application crashes when I right click on the function. See Crystal Reports version info below.

I have the same problem (. The version is also the same.

The same problem 😞 CR2020 closes without any error message as soon as you try to expand the Report Custom Function node

CR 2020 is a 64 bit only version, meaning your custom function may need to be update to that platform.

Hello Don,

Thank you for your reply, but, unfortunately, there is the real problem with this functionaly in CR2020. Here is a step-by-step description to reproduce it.

1. Create an empty report.

2. Add a simple query from any Oracle DS. In my case it was "Select 'test' as s_field from dual"

3. Add this field to this report layout. We see 'test'.

4. Add a new formula to this report. For example: fr_new. A formaule editor window will be opened. There we add a custom report function, f.e. crf_test. Here it is its code:

Function (StringVar c_in)
(
  StringVar c_out;


  c_out := 'test crf result';
);

5. Add to your data fomula fr_new

crf_test ({Команда.S_FIELD});

6. Save and Close the editor.

7. Place this data formula to the layout.

8. Now there are two labels - 'test' and 'test crf result'

9. Edit the fr_new formula. The formula editor is opened.

10. Select your custom report function crf_test from the left tree.

11. The text of this function will be shown for a couple of seconds and CR 2020 is closed without any messages.
