[Harris]

I often get this when running in debug mode, particularly after changing something in the next reports parameters.
I then run in release and the issue goes away.

 

[wangondu]

thanks @Harris but this error still available when i run the application in release mode

 

[Harris]

reptype="txt" ' Available options: CSV, TXT, XLS, XML, PDF, HTML or RTF. File type must be in CAPITALS.
'Output file will be MYOUTPUT.RTF. Output file (and any necessary images) will be stored in your application directory

File type must be in CAPITALS - not the case here... ("txt") - should be "TXT"

Also,
'Don't forget to add jNxtReportsB4J in the B4J IDE Libraries tab
----> this is not required here, but checked off in libraries tab.... #AdditionalJar: jNxtReportsB4J

Where is the data coming from for the report?

If no report was generated - you will get error - File not found.

try:
if file.exists( File.dirapp,repout & "." & reptype) then
'Show the output report file
fx.ShowExternalDocument(File.GetUri(File.DIRAPP, repout & "." & reptype))
else
Log(" File not found: "&(repout & "." & reptype) )
end if
