Formatting issue when uploaded to Server

[Former Member]

I have developed a report in Crystal report 2008 and we exported it into our BO Server.

The report opens in Crystal report viewer 2008.

Everything in the report is ok other than some formatting issues like

1, We have three columns in a row.Have the text size of 1000 char.

In the Crystal report viewer 2008. we found that columns are overlapping .

2, Other issue is that in some fields the text are going out from the border.

Anybody please help me to fix this issues............................

Thanks

Hi Joemon,

What patch level are you using for CR2008? With SP3 there were a number of fixes for design\formatting issues, so I would recommend use of a current patch level.

Also can you test with different viewers - is the issue specific to the CR2008 Viewer?

I did find an open Enhancement Request (ER) ADAPT01458705, and wonder if it may be a related issue:

Current Functionality:

When a Crystal Report is uploaded to the (XI R1, R2, R3) enterprise, if the report contains fields with data entries that exceed the field length, the data will overrun, vice truncating as it does in the Crystal Reports application. If selecting the HTML preview,

this should also show the data field overrun before publishing. The known workarounds documented for this are to either format the fields in question to "can grow" and limit the number of lines to 1, or create a registry key TruncateClippedFieldStrings and set the value to Yes.

Requested Functionality:

Since the customer does not have any scenarios in which it would be desirable to have the data truncate in the designer, yet overrun in the published report, they request that the TruncateClippedFieldStrings key be included in the install and be set to Yes as a default.

Ultimately if it's something that you can easily reproduce it might be a good idea to pursue this with SAP Support, it could be a bug.

I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.

Kind regards,

John
