Description Colin Sutton CLA 2015-07-24 01:19:43 EDT 
1. genreport.bat -h 
 always gives the response 'The input line is too long'.
It always gives the same response for any command line

If I comment out the following two lines in genReport.bat and replace them with the next line genre port.bat runs OK.

rem set BIRTCLASSPATH=
rem for %%i in (%BIRT_HOME%\ReportEngine\lib\*.jar) do set BIRTCLASSPATH=%%i;!BIRTCLASSPATH!
set BIRTCLASSPATH=%BIRT_HOME%\ReportEngine\lib\*

2. genReport.bat only takes single character parameters from the command line, e,g you must specify '-f pdf' not '-format pdf' as documented.

3. if -runrender is specified, genReport.bat always outputs html; it ignores the format  (f) parameter.

4. All tables in the rptdesign must have complete bindings - even if they run OK in the designer with only some of the dataset values - after refreshing the table binding they work from the batch file.

Same with run-time 4.5.0
