I try to learn BIRT from Book "Integrating_and_Extending_BIRT_2nd_Edition",
I learn at BIRT Report Engine Installation

I already set the system variable %BIRT_HOME%
The steps :
1 From the command line, navigate to the directory where you installed BIRT Report Engine.

2 Navigate to the ReportEngine subdirectory.

3 To run the genReport script, run the appropriate file for your operating system:
■ On a Windows platform, run genReport.bat.
■ On a UNIX or Linux platform, run genReport.sh.
Enclose the value for a command line parameter in quotes. For example,
the following Windows platform command uses the value, Hello, for the test.rptdesign:
genReport -p "sample=Hello" "C:\birt-runtime-2_2_1\WebViewerExample\test.rptdesign"

genReport generates the required output file.
4 Open the output file. In this example, the file is C:\birt-runtime-2_2_1\WebViewerExample\test.html.

After do that steps in commandline, i get response like below :
"The input line is too long.
The syntax of the command is incorrect."

From the steps above, is there something wrong with that, btw i use BIRT 3_7_0 version and in the steps above i replace birt-runtime-2_2_1 to birt-runtime-3_7_0?
Thx

I believe this is a known issue on windows, with the classpath string in
the genReport.bat file. If the report engine (BIRT_HOME) is a highly
nested folder it makes the command string to long. Try moving the
engine to shorten the string or set the system classpath to add the jars
and remove the -cp "%BIRTCLASSPATH%" setting.

I got this to work on windows using a birt home of c:/3.7runtime.

For windows, the solutions is change the line
SET BIRTCLASSPATH=%BIRT_HOME%\ReportEngine\lib\com.ibm.icu_4.4.2.v20110208.jar;%BIRT_HOME%\ReportEngine\lib\com.lowagie.text_2.1.7.v201004222200.jar;%BIRT_HOME%\ReportEngine\lib\commons-cli-1.0.jar....
by
SET BIRTCLASSPATH=%BIRT_HOME%\ReportEngine\lib\*;

Now not exists the proble whith the BIRTCLASSPATH var size.

good luck
