Error description
The customer has an option in their report to abbreviate the length of some description fields based on a user-input prompt value. When the value is set to, for example, anything greater than 10, shows the whole description. When it is set between 1 and 9 inclusive, it abbreviates the description to that length. When it is set to 0, it does not render the column(s).?This works great in Cognos 8 but after upgrading the report to Cognos 10, upon setting the length to 0, columns get shifted around very strangely and the summary lines appear broken. Screenshots and report specs mapped to Sample data for 8.4.0 and 10.1.1 respectfully attached.
