Symptoms

When you export your report to the CSV format, an empty file is created. If you export to another format (such as PDF), the data appears.

Cause

This can occur if your report is designed so that there is no data being displayed in the Detail section, or so that the Detail section is suppressed, and are instead displaying data in a group header or footer.

Resolution

You must select the correct formatting option so that Report Commander will include the headers and footers in the export file.

On the command line, use the option "-csvstyle=crstyle" to accomplish this.

In the Command Line Builder, select the "Crystal Reports default" setting in the "Section Export" section of the CSV Export Options page.
