Hi, everybody
This is my first post on this forum.
I have developed several reports for SAP Business One using Crystal Reports version for SAP Business One,
Despite some bugs in the software, I am very happy with the report writer, as I can do practically everything I want.
However, there is something that is a bit annoying: In CR version for SAP B1, it is not possible to pass blank parameters.
We must enter all the parameters on the parameter screen.
I have developed a report which has numerous sub-reports.
Depending on which report the user needs, certain parameters may be unnecessary.
Unfortunately, CR version for SAP B1 does not accept blank parameters, so I must force the user to input some dummy parameters (which are not used at all in his report).
I have never used Crystal Reports version for Visual Studio, but I have read a bit on the forum.
I am familiar with Visual Studio, and SAP SDK.
My Questions:
(1) I use Management Studio, SQL and Crystal Reports to design reports that nearly always use SAP tables.
Which version of Crystal Reports would be more appropriate for my work? version for SAP B1 or version for Visual Studio?
(2) Is it possible for Crystal Reports version for Visual Studio to accept blank parameters?
(3) What advantages would there be using CR for VS rather than CR for SAP B1?
Added
(4) Are there things that CR for SAP B1 can do that CR for VS cannot ?
Thanks
Leon
