FilePro PDF issue

[Richard Kreiss]

Found the issue.

If no records were found for this PDF output, a different report was created which had the printer name fplm.  I changed this to PDF and the pdf report ran properly.

It appears that fplm may have become a reserved name in the final release of 5.8.03.24.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I was under no pressure this evening to find the problem and had the time debug the program.  The issue was at the last break when the no records found output was called.
