Visual Indexer showing report in binary format
« on: June 16, 2008, 07:42:17 PM »
Hi,

I'm using report wizard and in very first step I selected sample data and when OnDemand opens this report in Visual Indexer, it shows in binary kind of format.

If I open this report in notepad it shows me all the text but doesn't come in Visual Indexer. Please try to help me to solve this issue

Thanks
Anant

When this has happened to me, it's usually the download from PC, or upload to the host that caused the issue. You've got to select your download/upload type carefully.

Based on your other question, I assume you figured this out already?

Download the report from the mainframe as BINary so the characters don't convert to ASCII.
