May 21, 2025
We are pleased to announce the release of DataFlex Reports 2025/25.0 - the reporting tool of choice for developers to create a diverse range of pixel-perfect reports, lists, tables and charts.
DataFlex Reports 2025 will boost your reporting capabilities with a new error code correction option for the QR barcode generator, DB2 and RDS improvements, Windows toolbar improvements, and more!
The highlights of DataFlex Reports 2025
- Error code correction for QR barcode generator
DataFlex Reports is able to create barcodes through the usage of the ZINT library. Some symbology’s – mainly the QR code types – support a setting for error correction to solve the problem that a part of the code has got lost. The value about how much correction code needs to be added can now be specified. This also complies with the Spanish Law HAC7/1177/2024 following the ISO/IEC 18004:2015 specifications.
- DB2 improvements
Integration of DB2 reports in a DataFlex workspace using the DB2_DRV connectivity kit could result into a GPF as both access the DB2 database in a different way, and IBM made this incompatible with each other. We’ve fixed this, and also also improved building the connection string for DB2.
- Runtime Data Source (RDS) improvements
DataFlex Reports stores the data for a RDS report in an in-memory SQLite database. When two or more (sub)reports use the same table name but with a different table layout you got errors like “no such column” from SQLite. This has been fixed by making the table names unique through the use of the report’s GUID in the name. The only requirement to the report developers is to make sure each RDS report uses unique report IDs. If you are unsure this is the case we suggest using the maintenance utility to assign new GUIDs to your reports.
- Web previewer uses ES6 JavaScript classes
The webviewer JavaScript control that comes with DataFlex Reports 2025 is updated to the same standards as the DataFlex Web Framework for DataFlex 2025, which features a reworked JavaScript library that is now compatible with ES6.
- Windows toolbar improvements
The Windows previewer toolbar button order has changed and a new item showing the current pagenumber against the total number of pages is now shown. The spinform/dropdown control that controlled the current page has been replaced with an input field that lets you jump to the page you want to go to.
