Cyrillic characters are not rendered correctly on XLS and XLX conversions.
For Excel conversions, both XLS and XLX, we have now added a parameter for the spool file CCSID value. Using a value of 1154 for this new parameter will render the Cyrillic characters correctly.
The fix is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 13.23 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1323. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
WebReport/i automatic report routing is occasionally failing on our system.
We found that when automatic routing was used with the special *INT destination reference and the report format type was set to *RTF, then it could fail. This has now been corrected.
The fix is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 13.21 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1322. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
A destination filename is being truncated when using the *FTP option on the WREPORT command.
The destination filename in the WREPORT command supports 100 characters, but we found that under certain circumstance, the filename could get truncated to a shorter value. This has now been corrected.
The fix is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 13.18 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1319. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
When using the WRKWEBSPLF command, the F4 function is not working for date selections.
The WRKWEBSPLF command (option 4 on the MASTER menu) displays a list of spool files. When you start the command, you can set parameters to limit the displayed list to just certain spool files. One of the selection parameters is a date field. After the display of spool files starts, there is an F4 function key that lets you change the selection parameters. We found that the F4 function was not recognizing a new date parameter setting. This has now been fixed.
The fix is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 13.16 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1317. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
The IFS parameter on WREPORT is not working correctly.
Based on a report from a current customer, we found that the IFS parameter on the WREPORT command could get internally truncated to a character length less than the 100 characters provided by the command and the documentation. This has now been corrected.
The fix is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 13.15 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1316. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
While using the Report Intranet feature, we found that if the report being deployed has a blank in the filename, it cannot be retrieved from the web page.
We have identified this problem that was causing the report deployment to fail when the filename in the IFS contained a blank character. The web instance did not crash, but the report was not being retrieved.
The fix is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 13.13 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1314. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
I'm confused over the use of the term "HTML" in WebReport/i.
So were we, and for a long time. We have finally bit the bullet and implemented a terminology change to address this problem. When WebReport/i was originally brought to market, the term HTML could be applied to all sorts of web deployment of reports. Since that original start, the use of the product and that term have changed.
With this change, we have eliminated the concept of an "HTML Routing" and replaced it with the term "System Routing". In WebReport/i, this indicates that your report conversion will be processed on your IBM i system and stored on the system. Some additional processing may also take place like an FTP transfer to another server or an upload to Dropbox. Associated command text, screen text, menus and help text have now been updated. We have also updated the current documentation for the main user's guide as well as the guides for the Intranet Feature. The new documentation is now available at the Download page for WebReport/i
The fix is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 13.11 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1312. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
When using the *MAP option to burst and email a report, the right side of the report is incomplete.
After responding to a customer report for this problem, we found that the process was truncating reports that were wider than 210 print positions. This has now been raised to 250 print positions.
The fix is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 13.00 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1301. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
WebReport/i Release 12 Problems:
The email process is failing on a CPF0006 when using the *INT email address option.
We found a problem due to a recent update with the *INT email address option. The process can fail on a CPF0006 error code when extracting email addresses from the spool file content.
The fix is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 12.29 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1230. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
The spool file number field is shorter than what is allowed in IBM's OS.
A customer advised us about this and we decided to change WebReport/i so that it would be consistent with IBM's current specifications in the OS. This was not causing any customer issues, but the change will avoid potential issues in the future.
With this change, the current release of WebReport/i will only run on systems with IBM's OS level at 6.1 and higher.
The fixes are available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 12.29 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1229. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
I am using a report map to burst and send a report, but it does not seem to be working.
A customer reported that they set up a report map, but when they processed the report, no email messages were sent. When checking this, we found a parameter length error in one of the processing modules that was causing it to look like it was successful, but no output was produced. This has now been corrected.
The fixes are available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 12.28 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1228. E-mail us and request the PTF package.

When sending a report as email, I sometimes get a CPF2130 error code in the EPRINTCL program.
We discovered that this error could happen very rarely when an email was sent and the message text was set to the special value of *NONE. This problem has now been corrected.
The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 12.25 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1226. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
We are sometimes getting a CPF3342 in our custom CL program that emails spool files in *XLS format.
A customer reported this because they were not able to monitor for the error message in question and deal with it in their CL program. This problem happens when you try to email a spool file that is not in the system any longer or was never created in the first place. We have now updated our code so that when this happens, we issue our standard WEB0001 error code that can be monitored for in a user CL program.
The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 12.21 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1222. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
We sometimes get a CPF0006 error when emailing a spool file in Excel format.
Based on a problem we found during testing here, we found that certain very complex conversions of spool files into Excel (*XLS) format could get this result. It was due to a command length factor that was too small. It has now been fixed for both the EREPORT and WREPORT commands.
The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 12.17 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1217. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
When emailing a spool file in CSV format, the attachment name does not appear to support all the naming options.
We found that only the *GEN naming option was working correctly for CSV spool file conversions. We have now updated the software so that all naming options are supported as per the documentation.
The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 12.11 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1212. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
When converting a spool file to Excel (XLS) format using a Report Model, it fails with the MCH0603 error code.
We found that when the Report Model file contained a large number of field definitions, then this could happen. It has now been fixed so that there is virtually an unlimited number of field definitions allowed.
The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 12.10 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1211. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
When converting a spool file to Excel (XLS) format, some columns end up displaying as very wide in Excel.

The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 12.08 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1209. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
When using the EREPORT command with the FILE parameter set to *NONE, there is a NULL.TXT attachment on the resulting email message.
Up to this point in time, this has been considered the way it works and "normal" behavior. We have had several customers, however, tell us that their users sometimes file this confusing and have trouble when they try to open the NULL.TXT file attachment. With this PTF, the NULL.TXT file will no longer be sent on these FILE(*NONE) uses of the EREPORT command.
The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 12.07 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1208. E-mail us and request the PTF package.

We found a segment of code that had not been properly updated for latest release of the software. It has now been corrected.
The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 12.00 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1202. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
I am trying to install the Intranet feature, but it is failing with a device error.
We found that on some customers, a configuration difference could cause this to happen in the WWWINSTAL program. It has now been changed so that it will run correctly on all customer systems.
The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 12.00 version of WebReport/i. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1201. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
WebReport/400 Release 11 Problems:
I'm distributing reports using the *INT address with embedded addresses in the spool file, but it is failing with a CPF0006 error.
We found that for some customers, this could happen after a recent update to the software was released. The error appears like a bad parameter value in the joblog. This has now been corrected.
The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 11.13 version of WebReport/400. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1114. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
The file name showing from the HTML Index display is sometimes incorrect.
The file name showing on the first "list" of the index was sometimes showing an incorrect value when the file in question was stored in the *IFS. The detail display was always correct, this was just showing wrong on the list.
The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 11.12 version of WebReport/400. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1113. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
I'm converting a spool file to XLS format, but it fails when I try to set the page headings option to *NONE.
We found problems with the *NONE setting for both page headings and column headings in the EREPORT and the WREPORT commands. Both have now been corrected and work as documented.
The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 11.11 version of WebReport/400. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1112. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
I get a different PDF file result when running a spool file through the EREPORTM command.
Some time ago, the PDF conversion routine being used by the EREPORT command was changed, but that change was not extended into the EREPORTM command. With this change, we have made the two processes identical. We have also added the FONTSIZ and FONTTYP parameters for PDF conversions using the EREPORTM command.
The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 11.09 version of WebReport/400. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1110. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
I'm trying to delete multiple reports from the HTML Index, but the system only seems to process one at a time.
We found a problem that was causing this to happen. This has now been fixed and you can process multiple deletes at the same time when updating the HTML Index from option #3 on the MASTER menu.
The fix for this problem is available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 11.07 version of WebReport/400. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1108. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
When using the Report Intranet I don't see the selection box to bring up a report.

The email address information stored in the USRDFNDTA field is not all being processed.
... and ...
I am seeing a logging error in the activity log, but no errors are happening with email report distributions.
... and ...
The TOID field is being rejected on the EREPORT command.
We found that the initial implementation code for picking up email address information from the USRDFNDTA field stopped processing after the first 50 characters. This has now been expanded to process all 255 characters available in this field.
We found that under the situation where a GROUP email address was processed in combination with an individual email address and the GROUP came first, then an erroneous error could get posted in the WebReport/400 activity log. This has now been corrected.
Due to a recent change in internal processing, certain TOID fields that contained special characters were not getting accepted correctly. This has now been fixed.
The fix for these problems is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 11.03 version of WebReport/400. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1104. E-mail us and request the PTF package.

After installing the latest release (10.19), some email transmissions are going to incorrect email addresses.
Release 10.19 contained a new problem that could generate email messages to incorrect addresses when multiple destinations are used with automatic routing that have stacked address book references in them.
The fix for this problem is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 10.19 version of WebReport/400. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1020. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
When converting a report into Excel format (XLS), some of the lines are getting processed as headings when they are not.
and ....
When using Address Book abbreviations stacked as email destinations, some of the addresses do not receive their email message.
We found that when the page and column headings were only produced on the first page and not repeated on subsequent pages in the spool file, then unpredictable results could happen. We have addressed this issue by adding a second page and column control parameter.
Also, we found that under certain circumstances, some destination email addresses were getting dropped when a large number of Address Book abreviations were stacked into a single email address parameter. The system has been modified to now correctly process all of the addresses when this is done.
The fix for these problems is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 10.18 version of WebReport/400. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1019. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
When updating the Email Automatic Routing Table, the copy function issues an error message.
We found that the copy function was sometimes issuing an error message even when the copy function was valid. The copy actually was taking place, but the error message seemed to indicate that it had failed. This has now been cleared up.
The fix for this problem is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 10.17 version of WebReport/400. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1018. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
I get an error when trying to send a report that indicates that a data area in the WEBREPORT library is not available.
We found that under certain circumstances, a recent change to the product was leaving the CONTROL data area in the WEBREPORT library locked when it should not have been in a locked state. This could happen when using automatic routing with *INT internal destination email addressing.
The fix for this problem is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 10.16 version of WebReport/400. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1017. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
When sending email from the WRKWEBSPLF list display, if I accidentally leave the email address blank, I get a complicated error message returned that is confusing.
Several customers reported that this situation was very confusing for end users. This has now been changed so that the list of spool files is shown again with an error message displayed at the bottom of the screen. This is true when the email address is omitted or when the email address entered is in an incorrect format.
The fix for this problem is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 10.14 version of WebReport/400. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1015. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
When I open an Excel file from WebReport/400, Excel reports that the file is corrupted and it will not open.
and After running a process in WebReport/400, my session's local data area (LDA) is changed.
We found that when an Excel file generated by WebReport/400 was opened on a PC running the new Win7 operating system, then you could get a message indicating that the file is corrupted. This has now been fixed.
Also, we found that under certain situations, the session local data area could get altered by WebReport/400. This too has been changed the the local data area contents will no longer be changed by WebReport/400.

When I convert a spool file to *PDF format in the IFS, the USRDTA field does not carry through to the internal document name list it does when sending email.
Based on a customer comment, we found that the logic for converting the TITLE(*USRDTA) parameter when converting a spool file for storage in the IFS was incorrect. It has now been corrected to mirror the way this is handled when emailing a spool file in *PDF format.
The fix for this problem is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 10.06 version of WebReport/400. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1007. E-mail us and request the PTF package.

We found that release 10.04 of WebReport/400 contained a wrong program version. The correct program version has now been included and is available with the PTF.
The fix for this problem is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 10.04 version of WebReport/400. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF1005. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
WebReport/400 Release 9 Problems:
When converting a PCL spool file, the results are not lining up correctly.
For certain spool files that contain graphics created using PCL commands, we found that when certain types of line graphics were used with curved ends, the curves were inverted causing the form alignment to be off, even though the spool file print correctly on hard copy. This problem has now been fixed.
The fix for this problem is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 9.31 version of WebReport/400. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF932. E-mail us and request the PTF package.

When sending a report as a PDF, I found a line was missing from the report.
and When sending a report as a PDF, I found a line was missing from the report.
For the first problem, we found that in very rare situations when you are using an embedded #EMAIL directive statement to distribute a spool file to multiple destinations, a situation could arise where a line in the report could be dropped. When this happens, you will see that another line in the report ends up getting duplicated. This problem has now been fixed.
For the second problem, we found that the program was ignoring the request for a report. This has also been corrected.
The fix for these two problems is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 9.28 version of WebReport/400. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF929. E-mail us and request the PTF package.
When creating a *USER email routing, a new output queue is created.
When creating an email routing for the SEND2ME feature, a unique output queue is not needed. A customer reported to us that WebReport/400 was creating these queues on their system and we found a problem in the product that was causing this to happen. This PTF stops these user profile named output queues from being created.
The fix for this problem is now available as a PTF. This PTF can only be installed on a Release 9.26 version of WebReport/400. The correction is available in PTF package WRPTF927. E-mail us and request the PTF package.

Sometimes my application fails with an error when it is just a bad email address that has been used.
Normally, WebReport/400 edits the email address to make sure that it is properly formed. When a bad email address is found, an error entry is logged and that address is bypassed so that the application does not get stopped with an error message. We found, based on feedback from a couple of customers, that there was one situation where an error could be issued and processing would be suspended. We have now tightened up the editting for email address form to avoid this problem.

When using WebReport/400, a new user's task fails with message WEB0080.
The WEB0080 error is issued when WebReport/400 attempts to add a new user to the system directory, but the user profile contains more than 8 characters. For releases of WebReport/400 up to this point, this was resolved by having the customer perform a manual add for these profiles. With this PTF release, WebReport/400 now deals with this situation gracefully and completes the directory addition without failing.
