XQE-PLN-0098 The vendor specific function 'trunc' is not supported

Troubleshooting


Problem

Receiving error message testing report expression with trunc() function against an Oracle database using Dynamic Query Mode (DQM).
Data item expression: trunc(current_date,'Month')
Although trunc() is a supported function, the error "XQE-PLN-0098 The vendor specific function "trunc" is not supported." occurs when using this expression.

Cause

The issue is caused by current_date function used within trunc() function.

Resolving The Problem

Options to avoid  this error are to replace current_date with a function compatible from the data source, such as Oracle, or
use alternative function for trunc().
