When you work with data sources through a query in EP/SSRS you might land up in this error “Data or calculated fields with type “Record” are not supported”.
How do i resolve ?
One of the tables that is being used in the data source has a display method with a return type as “record”. Scan through all the display methods and find the one that has the display keyword but still returns a type record in the signature. In our case we had a method similar to this
Public display inventTable getInventTable()
{
return InventTable::find(this.itemid);
}
Why does this happen ?
It is illegal to use a display keyword for a method that returns any complex object like “Container”, “Record”, “Class”. The reason we don’t find it inside AX is because compiler doesn’t validate it and it can be deducted only at run time. So say you have you a display method as in the example above but you never use it then AX never complains about it.
When these tables are accessed through Query in SSRS, SSRS tries to run through the list of display methods to show up in the field selection. Since SSRS cannot comprehend the return type it throws this error.
