No Data Report Output Question

rbuser

Hello,

I am generating a report at runtime, and immediately outputting it to a PDF
file. The problem I have is when my dataset contains no data. I end up
creating a PDF file containing no pages. When I set the report to
ndBlankReport the same thing happens. Any suggestions.

Another question, if the report is set to a no data behavior of
ndBlankReport, do any calculations based on dataset fields attempt to
execute?

Thank you,

By no pages I am thinking you means a single blank page? If so then this is
the correct behavior. What behavior wouild out like to see. You could enable
ndMessageOnPage to display a no data found message. If you do not want to
generate a PDF at all then you could first query the data yourself to verify
that the pipeline isn't empty.

Yes, most will. The report will activate the data pipeline(s) which will
cause the data sets to be opened and and related event to fire at that
point.
