Title: Crystal Reports errors after update
Post by Highlight/Chris on 12/02/13 at 10:25:48

I am wondering if anyone is still using Crystal for Pervasive v7.0.

Until this weekend, we had been running Pervasive 2000i running DBA Classic. Then I upgraded to PSQL v11 on Friday. Now that we are back up, we realized my custom Crystal reports are causing errors. The first error I receive is a window titled "Seagate Crystal Reports: Database error" with the message "Btreive error: Data buffer length." When I click on "OK", I see another error with the window titled "Print Engine Error" with the error message "(X) Error detected by database DLL."

I asked Lynn if I needed to upgrade Crystal but she thought I might not need to. Any thoughts? Any help would be appreciated.

I google it, this is what I found:

Quote:

This "internal" record definition was read from the DDFs when the report was
first created and stored within in the .RPT file itself. So the first thing
to do is to open the report in the Crystal Reports Designer and select
Database -> Verify Database. If SCR's internal definition for the tables
differ from that stored in the DDFs, the Verify Database option will re-sync
them. If, after running this option, SCR still throws an error 22, then the
table definition stored in the DDFs is wrong and will need to be corrected.

:P

As usual, Lynn was correct. I did not need to upgrade. I am still able to use Crystal Reports for Pervasive. I was not able to find a way to repair my reports. However, I was required to recreate the reports. At least, I was able to cut and paste much of the content so I was not starting from scratch.

FYI:

If we load the entire table or tables then establish a relationship, then drag the fields we want,
ratter than using a sql script, you will get this error because the table definition has changed.

Use a SQL Query.

Next time that ISTECH changes the definition same error will occur.
