"Specify Retrieval Argument" Problem

[marvin2010]

Hi.

I was able to create a Nested or Composite report that has retrieval arguments in it.

Say, dw_base is the main datawindow and d_report is the nested report, the one that is placed in dw_base.

When I do check on the d_report to see if what I specified as Retrieval Arguments works there, by executing retrieve and placing a value for the retrieval argument, it will retrieve records having the criteria I asked of. Then when I try to run the program, of course it will ask me to save the changes I made while still on the data preview, meaning I can still see the retrieved records, so I will say yes.
Then when the program runs, the base datawindow, dw_base correctly retrieves what I specified in the Retrieval Argument but not the subreport d_report. It will always show the retrieved records I saw right before saving it.

So I went back to the d_report, tried the retrieve again and it works now this time, I deleted all the retrieved rows then saved.

Then run again the program. Now the dw_base still retrieves correctly against the specified retrieval argument but this time the subreport d_report now shows the Specify Retrieval Argument box wherein I need to input the data I am looking for then only then the d_report will work correctly. Everytime I try to look for a new data, it will pop up then if it finds a match, it will correctly display it in the datawindow.


Has anyone experienced this? Is there something I missed?

Thanks in advance. By the way, I am using PB 9.0.

In the d_report dataobject insert a blank row in the data section and save it. Now try to run the program. I hope this time Retrieve should not come.

Hey vipinhcl!

Thanks for answering. I'll try it at home. I'll get back to you soon.


Good day.
