Compile error at report generation

[beldon.dominello]

I'm testing Jaspersoft for use in some projects I'm doing which require mpore accurate output than SSRS and, so far so good.

However, I'm getting the following in iReport 4.8.0 on Windows 2008 R2, 64-bit, running against SQL Server 2008 R2 using sourceforge jTDS 1.3.0 with sql server authentication.

The query runs fine in the SQL editor, but when I attempt to preview, I get the following:

Compiling to file... C:Program FilesJavajtds-1.3.0-distInvoiceTest.jasper

Much thanks, in advance!

I don't know for sure, but it looks like maybe you have an error in a Groovy expression within your report somewhere.  It expected a ')' in but found a 'for'  - check your report for an expression that has this error.

Turns out I didn't enclose some text properly in quotes and it thought I was trying to code Groovy. Oh well, beginner's mistake.

 

Thanks for your response!

We allow beginners. Glad you found it!

@ beldon, Kindly check your source code. 

e.g <jasperReport xmlns="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/xsd/jasperreport.xsd" name="userrequest" language="groovy" pageWidth="595" pageHeight="842" whenNoDataType="AllSectionsNoDetail" columnWidth="555" leftMargin="20" rightMargin="20" topMargin="20" bottomMargin="20" uuid="c3f8167e-4352-4bd2-9e03-b9280b289d35">

remove language = "groovy" and run it.
