Whoever made the Crystal Reports language, screw you and your silent syntax errors. Sincerely, guy stuck maintaining reports.

Oh my god... You literally got me flashbacks. I was working on an accounting program and we used crystalreports to create barcode sheets. It was a damn nightmare.

Ewww, SAP Crystal Reports.

try {

/* crystal reports code */

} catch (Exception ex) {

//Marketing decided that it would be bad for the user experience if we show error messages with debugging information

//Therefore, we swallow all exceptions and don't print anything

}

...who am I kidding, there's no way there would be a comment explaining why everything is swallowed

@unsignedint oh, ready for this? null exceptions kill any processing instantly if not in a isnull check. silently

@Techno-Wizard but its secure and market proven! Source: https://www.crystalreports.com/
