Error number -239: DMS-E-GENERAL

Troubleshooting


Problem

Adding additional calculations which referenced previous calculations resulted in the error below. Such calculation would be: Calc2: If Calc1 >= Value Then ... [Error Message -] Error number -239: DMS-E-GENERAL, A general exception has occurred during operation 'prepare request'.

Resolving The Problem

Using Imp 6.0 613 without the [Query Options] heading in the impromptu.ini file. Modifying the Impromptu.ini file by adding [Query Options] heading and the line 'use automatic Oracle decode=0' . When ran the report again the SQL was shorter and had no Decode in the SQL.

Alternative would be to create a view on the database which performs the calculations.
