You get a parsing error when you run a report. What will be your first steps to resolve the error?..

Answer / buyile

this is usualy a result of parsing a wrong data type i.e a
string instead of a VARCHAR in the filters and the best way
would be to trace where you passing values in your report
in most cases it is on your filters or data items or
calculations where you doing Case OR If statements :) also
the syntax that one has used can cause a parsing error i.e
syntax errors where one forget a ' when closing a hard
coded string value
