REP-1219 error;object; has no size

Most of the times you face the error, you generally delete the object.
This error occurs when you create a report in bitmap mode and run it as a character report.

Solution is as below:
Open reports builder and the rdf file which is giving error

1. Go to FILE -> ADMINISTRATION -> CONVERT
2. A dialog box will popup.
3. In OPTIONS tab, select DESTINATION UNIT as CHARACTER, and select OVERWRITE as NEWNAME
4. Then in CONVERSION tab select the following
Document Type : Report
Source Type : rdf
Source : It is the file for which you are getting error
Destination Type : rdf
Destination : give the location and filename for the destination file
3. Then click on OK
Reopen the rdf file, the error is no longer reported.

Thanks for solution.
It is working fine.
But you are mentioned only for 6i not mentioned for 10g.
Below is the path for 6i and 10g:

for Reports Builder 10g is

Tools > File Conversion

where as in Reports Builder 6i, it was

File > Administration > Convert
