TraCodeModule?

rbuser

Hi Guys,

Not sure where this came from. I have a RB End User Report Template
via RBExplorer.

In one app it all opens OK.

In another app when I open a report I get a Error Reading Template
report, "Class TraCodeModule not found. Ignore the error and
continue?".

If I ignore the error it all seems to be working OK.

Where/why is this error occuring please?

Regards,

Ian

Hi Ian,

The error indicates that the template was saved down with some RAP code
(Code tab). If you enable RAP (add raIDE to your uses clause) the error
should go away. Another option is to load the template at runtime and
remove the RAP code and resave.

Thanks Nico,

All sorted, although I think I lost a variable calculation when I
saved a Template without raIDE available.

Related, sorta, question.

In the Templates they refer to tables like 'Invoice', 'Customer' &
'Supplier'.

I have changed the table names to plural. i.e. 'INvoices',
'Customers' & 'Suppliers'.

There are some 25 reports.

What is the most efficient way to change these table names in the
Templates please?

Hmmm. I may have the same issue in the Dtata Dictionary. I shall
have to check.

Regards & TIA,

Ian

Hi Ian,

The easiest way would be to run through each template (as text) and
alter the table names in code. If these templates are saved to
database, which I assume they are, take a look at the following example
on how to edit a template as text. Using this example, it should be
easy to create a Delphi utility to search and replace certain values.

Hi Nico,

Will look at it. Saved a template as text and edited OK. Small
problem, where are the 'Calc's saved? They didn't appear in the report
template that I can see.

Hi Nico,

OK. Having a play with the example, and, per the instructions, I am
getting the Invalid format error. I am using Advantage. The following
is my top end...

I have had nothing to do with Streams in the past so I am unsure what
to look for in terms of units I need to add to the uses clause.

Appreciate any advice/recomendation.

Addenda - Would this be a compatability issue with using Delphi XE?

nicocizik

Hi Ian,

Using Delphi XE should not make a difference. I just ran the original
demo in Delphi XE without any problems.

My guess is that this is a data access error. At what point in the demo
code (which event) does the error occur? Are you able to execute the
entire LoadTemplate routine without problems?

Hi Nico,

I have found it falls over at the following routine in LoadTemplate.

{convert the binary stream to text}
ObjectBinaryToText(lBinaryStream, lTextStream);

Yet to determine where/why in this routine.

Hi Ian,

Are you able to run the original demo (using Paradox)? Which version of
ReportBuilder are you using?

Sorry to move backward, I just want to find out if this is related to
Advantage or something else.
