Dear all,

I've read about different issues encountered after migrating the BIRT engine from 2.5.x to 4.2.2 but I'm not sure if the following has been discussed/solved.

When running the report (which was running just fine in version 2.5.x) for example in HTML format I get two issues (the second of them, repeated several times for several SUM aggregated functions):

Table (id = 7865): 
- A BIRT exception occurred. See next exception for more information.
Error evaluating Javascript expression. Script engine error: Report variable"outstanding" does not exist
Script source: <unknown>, line: 0, text:
<compiled script> (Element ID:7865) 
data.engine.BirtException ( 1 time(s) )
detail : org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineException: A BIRT exception occurred. See next exception for more information.

...

Data (id = 7921): 
- Invalid bound column name: TOT_SUM_DSB. (Element ID:7921) 
data.engine.InvalidBoundColumnName ( 1 time(s) )
detail : org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineException: Invalid bound column name: TOT_SUM_DSB. (Element ID:7921)
	at org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.executor.ExecutionContext.addException(ExecutionContext.java:1237)
...

Data (id = 7929): 
+ Invalid bound column name: TOT_SUM_DIS_PRE. (Element ID:7929) 

Data (id = 7923): 
+ Invalid bound column name: TOT_SUM_PRI. (Element ID:7923) 

Data (id = 7924): 
+ Invalid bound column name: TOT_SUM_INT. (Element ID:7924) 

Data (id = 7925): 
+ Invalid bound column name: TOT_SUM_OTH. (Element ID:7925) 

Data (id = 7930): 
+ Invalid bound column name: TOT_SUM_CAP_INT. (Element ID:7930) 

Data (id = 7931): 
+ Invalid bound column name: TOT_TOTAL. (Element ID:7931)

Even though the error's descriptions are quite clear I haven't been able to find the true cause.

Attached you will find, a report generation example it's a PDF version of the simplify HTML output - (the report is partially generated but it "breaks" apparently when reaching the total summarization sections) and the report sources.

Thank you very much in advance for any hints/help you can give me.

In table 7865 (the one with LBL_DATE in the left column), if you look in the binding tab of the property editor, you'll see that you have a binding called OUTSTANDING that has an expression of vars["outstanding"]. You do not have a variable called this, so it's erroring out. Remove/fix that and let me know if it runs.

Hi Michael,

Indeed. You were right. By fixing that variable definition the report seems to be running just fine.
Thank you very much!

Regards.
Fede.
