After a morning of trying to figure out why my report is working fine in Crystal but failing in the Logicity Viewer, it appears to me that Logicity can't handle SQL datetime2 values. Calculating ISNULL() against one will always return TRUE, and running a DateDiff() will return an error:
Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer
A date is required here.

Error in File datetime2 test {1C627B09-5185-46FF-BC45-FCAF740D071D}.rpt:
Error in formula DateDiffTest:
'DateDiff("d", CurrentDateTime, {USR_CredentialedStates.Effective_Date})'
A date is required here.

Even if I try to assign it to a DateVar and apply CDate to it, like so...
DateVar dDate := CDate({USR_CredentialedStates.Effective_Date});
DateDiff("d", CurrentDate, dDate);
I still get an error:
Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer
Bad date format string.

Is this a known issue? I can get around it with a stored procedure, but I'm kinda surprised I need to.
