General tips
• When using calculated fields in a report, you must place the calculated field on a separate line from the field that is being calculated. This avoids timing problems which can cause unpredictable results in your calculation.
• Deleting a Field Break's watch field can cause problems. When building a report using field breaks, do not delete the watch field for a break. Deleting the watch field causes a walkback during testing like: AbtExternalSubpartBuilder does not understand coElement.
To delete a break, use the Remove Field Break menu option. During runtime, it will ensure the break is never triggered.
• The Catalog of Classes report includes references to class and application information which is not available at runtime, such as the owner of a class or application, and edition information. This makes it impossible to package and run this report as a runtime application. The IconViewer example from the sample application can be packaged instead.
• Be sure to include CLKS.BMP when you package a Report application. Failure to do so will cause a Runtime error: Primitive failed in: Smalltalk>>#quo: due to Divide by zero in argument 1.
• If you enter a Tab in a Report Text Field, a graphic character will display in the field during edit time. At runtime, it will be translated into a tab.
