Is anyone else, especially Java programmers, having problems parsing the xmlAttributeName fields in the XML that comes back from getReportFields? I'm using Adobe ColdFusion, which creates Java code and uses the Apache Xerces XML parser, and it absolutely does not like this. From what I've read, i

Hi Ian, In regards to the CampaignStatus predicate, that does appear to be a bug. There is a problem with the backend logic that comes up when you filter on that field but don't include it in your selector. It doesn't appear to affect the ADGROUP report however, which is why I couldn't reproduce

I have noticed several differences between the fields listed here (http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/appendix/reports.html) and from ReportDefinitionService.getReportFields(). Which is accurate? We have also been having problems setting predicates on some fields. -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~
