Hello, did you try to add an additional filter item on the report to ensure that it will only return one row? This way you can start the process of eliminiation in case there are issues with the query items. Also, did you try running it as HTML so that only one page of data will be returned instead of PDF?

What does "running without executing" mean? Do you mean it starts to execute and never finishes?
Some things to try...
- If there are multiple queries in your report, try running the tabular sql for each and see if that completes OK.
- If you're using a non-html output format, run it in html and see if that makes a difference.
- Copy the generated sql from your query/queries and run it in your database client.
The results will help determine if your problem is with the database retrieval, local processing, or output formatting.
