u212com.dll missing error in Crystal Reports UFL function

Tagged With:-

I am trying to implement a QR code with Crystal Reports 2020. We have been using the IDAutomation QR Code Font and Encoder for years in Crystal Reports. I have installed a new Windows 11 machine with a fresh Crystal Reports and ID Automation install.

I now get a UFL: 'u212com.dll' that implements this function is missing" error when I preview or check a formula.

- .NET 4.8 is installed on my new machine.
- I have installed the UFL Encoder.
- The file exists in the C:Program Files (x86)SAP BusinessObjectsSAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0win64_x64 folder

- I have installed the IDAutomation_CrystalUFL.exe
- I have installed the Framework 4.5 UFL Installer

This is my formula Code:
stringVar DataToEncode:=({PRODUCT_1.Product-code});
stringVar CompleteBarcodeString:="";
numberVar i:=0;
numberVar Segments:= IDAutomationQRCodeEncoderQRSet(DataToEncode,0 ,0 ,0 ,0);
For i:=0 to Segments Do
(
CompleteBarcodeString := CompleteBarcodeString + IDAutomationQRCodeEncoderQRGet(i);
);
CompleteBarcodeString

How do I fix this?

Operating System: Windows 11 Pro version 10.0.26100 N/A Build 26100

Application: Crystal Reports 2020

debrac	Best Answer Hello Mark, UFL errors for Crystal Reports can be misleading as they do not always mean that the UFL is missing. They can mean that the UFL is not accessible and the UFL installation for Crystal Reports is a legacy installation method that should only be used when you absolutely cannot use the recommended Barcode Font Encoder Formulas for Crystal Reports installation. The Font Formulas are present in the most recent downloads for QR Font and Encoder packages. If you must use the UFL installation method, IDAutomation support for this installation method is limited as a legacy installation method but you can review potential solutions for these errors here: Crystal Reports UFL Errors U2lcom U212com and Solutions I see that you have an order purchased on 10/1/2014 for our IDAutomation 2D Universal Barcode Font and Encoder for Windows (Developer License) and if you need a new download for this package to obtain the Font Formulas to update your installation or the most recent UFL; if necessary you can obtain them by making the below Level 2 Support purchase: Item: IDA91-SUB-DL Description: Level 2 Support for 2D Universal Barcode Font and Encoder Suite License: 1 Developer Price: $809.00 USD Purchase URL: https://www.idautomation.com/barcode-fonts/universal/2d-fonts/support/ Posted 18 day(s) ago (0) (0) Report Abuse

The tutorial I provided has all of the details in it: Barcode Font Encoder Formulas for Crystal Reports but there is also a step by step tutorial specific for QR Code here: Create QR Code in Crystal Reports with Fonts and Formula if that helps as well.

You should uninstall the old UFL barcodes so that the report won't continue to try to call the UFL even after you install the font formula barcodes.

We will be here tomorrow for you as well should you need further assistance.

IDAutomation recommends that you no longer use the UFL installation. In the screenshot I provided in my previous answer, you can see there are two example Crystal Reports, one for GS1 and one for standard QR Codes. IDAutomation recommends that you completely uninstall your UFL installation and use the example reports to copy the font formula as per the tutorial I have provided you from the example report to your report.

It is up to you if you want to update your UFL files with the LEGACY UFL files that are provided in the package but we recommend that you follow the tutorial for the Font Formula and not utilize the UFL files.

Those folders only contain DLLs. Should I copy them into the C:Program Files (x86)SAP BusinessObjectsSAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0win64_x64 and C:Program Files (x86)SAP BusinessObjectsSAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0win64_x64 and C:Program Files (x86)SAP BusinessObjectsSAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0win32_x86 folders respectively?

For each of the barcode types, it will be in the main download file, for example, for QR Code: IDA20-SUB-QR-Code Font & Encoder Suite then it will be in the integration folder similar to the image below:

OK. One more: I cannot find the "Barcode Font Encoder Formulas for Crystal Report". Which Download is it in?

Once you download the new files, you should replace your old UFL installation with the Barcode Font Encoder Formulas for Crystal Reports installation. This new installation method does not utilize a UFL and will resolve the issue without having to update the UFL files.

Hello Mark,

Thank you for the update, your new order has been associated with your original licensing and has been activated for download. There are multiple downloads for each of the barcode types that are part of this package, and while you were only working on QR codes, there are updated UFL and font formulas available for all of the barcode types. You should have received emails from our system that the files are ready for download.

Support,

I have updated my support. How do I download the latest versions? Also, I have seen parts of your response in online posts. I am not sure how the recommended solution is different from the code I am currently using. I apologize for not understanding. Can you provide clarity on what I need to do?

Regards,
Mark
