Error description

  • The ReportOption('outputFormat')Report Studio Layout Calculation
    Function should return different values depending on whether the
    report was saved/scheduled as HTML or if it was run as
    interactive HTML.
    
    Interactive should be "HTMLFRAGMENT" and saved/scheduled should
    be "HTML".
    
    However if you drill through to the report twice then the result
    changes from "HTMLFRAGMENT" to "HTML" even when there is no
    saved output.
