What should you do if HTML content appears blank when generated from a report from a website or webservice deployed with WEBDEV 2026 Update 2?
In version 2026 Update 2 (302018), when a report designed using the report editor is generated as a PDF from a WEBDEV site or webservice, the contents of the HTML control remain empty. 
 
The solution to retrieve the HTML content is as follows:
 
  • add the following call before the iPrintReport function:

    iParameter(iHTMLCompatible, True)

  • Deploy the site or webservice again with this call.

Notes: 
  • This issue occurs after deployment; the report generated on the development test does contain the expected HTML content.
  • Only the HTML control in reports is affected.
    The generation of other controls containing text is not affected.
  • Only version 2026 Update 2 (302018) is affected.
