APAR status

• Closed with unknown close code.

Error description

• This is an upgrade issue from CRN MR2 414.64 to C8 8.4 GA.?When
  we run a list report that contains a conditional block inside a
  conditional block on C8 8.4, the layout is collapsed in Excel
  2002.??Reproduced:?Excel 2002 format or Excel 2000 single sheet
  format on C8 8.4 GA, C8.4.1 FP1.??Not Reproduced:?Excel 2000,
  2002 on CRN MR2(414.64)?Excel 2007 format on C8 8.4 GA, C8.4.1
  FP1.???
  

Local fix

• Set  'Box Type' properties of inner 'Conditional  Block'  from '
  Default' to 'Inline'.
  
  Note:
  If the report spec is quite complicated, this work around might
  cause some layout change for Excel 2007 users.
