Re: %EQUAL in a DOU loop

Not knowing what FILEKEY15 key lists consists of makes this a guess, but
assuming it's something like
FILEKEY15         klist
                  kfld              SomeKey
                  kfld              kf_line
and assuming the line number field name in the file is kf_line...

I'd suggest trying something like:

                  EVAL              kf_line - *HIVAL
filekey15         setgt  file15
SomeKey           readpe file15
                  if          %found(file15)
                  eval        kf_line = kf_line + 1
                  else
                  eval        kfline = 1
                  endif

Hello,

The program seems to crash in the routine below.  I know that there aren't
any records with 999 lines of notes.  I'm thinking that maybe the program
keeps looping.
Am I missing something in the code below that would cause this routine to
keep looping?

The program crashes with this message, "Receiver value too small to hold
result.
The target for a numeric operation is too small to hold the result"

Thanks,

Frank
