PROBLEM:
I am getting the error message: Error number out of range, Status 500 when running a Crystal report from VDF. What does this error mean?
The error text "Error number out of range" can also show up in other error numbers, such as 4405.


SOLUTION:
This is a general error message that indicates that Crystal's error number has exceeded the number 599.

Crystal Reports 9 can generate error numbers above 599. In Visual DataFlex, CrystalReport.pkg defines the minimum and maximum for error numbers as:

#REPLACE MIN_CRW_ERROR_NUM 500
#REPLACE MAX_CRW_ERROR_NUM 599

With this definition, every error number from Crystal that is above 599 will generate the "Error number out of range" message.

In order to get a more descriptive error message, Change the MAX_CRW_ERROR_NUM constant in CrystalReport.pkg to 998. Then, precompile all packages and recompile your application.


NOTE:
Error number 998 is the last one used in Crystal Reports verison 9. You can find this information in the Legacy.chm help file (Crystal Report Engine Index | Print Engine Constants | Chart Options Constants | Error Codes) installed with Crystal Reports Developer Edition.

The MAX_CRW_ERROR_NUM constant was increased to 999 in Visual DataFlex 10.0.
