Subject: SAP Crystal Reports: Deprecated Functionality<o:p></o:p></div></div><o:p> </o:p>Recent releases of the Crystal Reports, have ‘featured’ a reduction in functionality. This has left us all searching for workarounds.<o:p></o:p><![if !supportLists]>1.       <![endif]>Can’t turn off the Parameter dialog popups for users (remove all parameters from a report)<o:p></o:p><![if !supportLists]>2.       <![endif]>Can’t hide Crystal Report Viewer export button <o:p></o:p><![if !supportLists]>3.       <![endif]>The new Crystal Report Viewer hides or gets away from tons of fun functionality.<o:p></o:p><![if !supportLists]>4.       <![endif]>Can’t inject parameters into the Report object property.<o:p></o:p><![if !supportLists]>5.       <![endif]>Can’t use SQL Expressions injected into the Crystal Report property: no more dynamic SQL.<o:p></o:p>This last one is a killer….as you can no longer build your SQL Statement on the fly, drop it into a Crystal Report and KaZaam…..new Groupings, SubSelects, Conditional Joins, literal values in the SQL Code, Sort Orders…..
You can still use ONE (1) Stored Procedure, which returns one cursor, and has a popup parameter for the user to type something in.
You can still use SQL Views (which don’t use parameters at all, ever),
You can still enter a Where Clause condition at runtime……yea! But it can’t be a SQL Expression…..<o:p></o:p>Bottom Line…..we either need workarounds for the above, a new solution, or punt……..<o:p></o:p>RJ Samp
