Hello Doug,

Hi Doug,

I copied/pasted this from another reply


After some testing through the debugger here's what I ended up with.

First nothing is written to QuickFlds in the REPORTS table

So I traced to see why that was the case.

Problem is with oFieldsCollection. The property Count is 0 when tests are made to write to QuickFlds. So basic problem here is can't write to QuickFlds because oFieldsCollection.count = 0 and can't read what was saved in QuickFlds.

Tracing more got me in sfReports: sfReportEngine: SetupDataEnvironment

Line of code:

llOK = .oData.SetupDataEnvironment( this.oFieldsCollection, .oSortCollection)

When I step inside SetupDataEnvironment everything seems correct. Count is not 0. As soon as execution gets out of SetupDataEnvironment then Counts gets to 0.

From the result that I have it looks like there would be more than 1 oFieldsCollection created???

Can you explain this behavior?


Now after more testing here's what I have

Before returning from the line :
llOK = .oData.SetupDataEnvironment( .oFieldsCollection, .oSortCollection)

this.ofieldscollection.cItemClass = sfrfield
this.ofieldscollection.cItemLibrary = sfreports.vcx
this.ofieldscollection.class = sfrFieldCollection


Afer returning from the line :
llOK = .oData.SetupDataEnvironment( .oFieldsCollection, .oSortCollection)

this.ofieldscollection.cItemClass = sfrfield
this.ofieldscollection.cItemLibrary = sfreports.vcx
this.ofieldscollection.class = sfrfieldmetadata

So this shows that there are 2 oFieldsCollection objects. How can I keep that from happening within SFR?
