Operation illegal on linked parameter.when linking tp subreport

Posted on Nov 23, 2011 at 07:35 PM 379 Views

Hello,

I am using VS2010SP1 with Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0.

To populate reports I use datasets that are created in VB.NET application and populates using ReportDocument object.

In one of reports I need to create sub report, that I placed in footer of a group.

Report shows all data correct exept in subreport.

If I do not set in subreport links parameters it shows all records, but when I try to create any parameter it gives me an error

"Operation illegal on linked parameter". I tried to check/uncheck checkbox (Select data in subreport based on field) but it did not

helped me and now I do not know what else can be done.

Is there any place that I can set paramenters for subreport?

Thank you in advance.

yurluc.

    Hi,

    Take a look at the below SAP Note

    [1216055 - Err Msg: "Operation illegal on linked parameter" when a .NET application is run |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313336333033353335%7D.do]

    [Reports with linked parameters in subreports are not work|Reports with linked parameters in subreports are not work]

    Report is not connected to any database.

    I created .XSD file and created report base on it.

    In application I only supply the data according to structure of .XSD file and it works with all reports.

    But with subreport there sims to be a problem.

    Once again if I do not use parameters it shows all records, but I need to show records related to the

    group in main report.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Hello,

    I tried to run report using XML file created as you mention and it runs fine untill I start to use parameters.

    If I assign the parameter in Formula it reduce records to correct list.

    IF I try to for test purpose to assign parameter in the code it gives me error once I create a loop for list of parameters

    like For Each item As ParameterField In crystalApp.Subreports.Item(0).ParameterFields

    'Not supported within subreports.'

    And if I try to set parameter through link it gives me Operation illegal error.

    It looks like the problem in parameters for sub reports.

    For sake of testing I created a parameter in the main report and there was no errors in report.

    Thank you,
