Title: What is the meaning of Parsign Error
Post by: inu on 30 Mar 2015 07:47:32 AM
Hi Bro,
As i m validating a report, which throws a parsing error...

There are several detailed filters , i checked one by one and validated.. i found the root cause,,,
one filter was generating the error.. when i turn its usage property to "optional" or "disable" or delete this filter... then no parsing error is thrown...

But this filter doesnot have any error.. while individually validate this filter....

If i run the report with parsing error, it runs succesfully.....

So , what should i do,,, would i delete that filter,, leave that as it is...

Apart from this , what is the meaning of parsing error....

Thanks
Inam

A parsing error is basically when you have code and somewhere in the code there is something wrong with the syntax. If you post the filter that is causing the error, I'm sure someone on these forums can help you figure out what the error is and assist in fixing it. :)

As Karti says, it's almost always a typo like a missing comma, or you've typed a function and misspelt it (it once took me ages to spot that I'd spelled subtring as substirng)
