RE: Printer File Overflow...

If the overflow line if 66 and you are writing the line 66.  The error
should occur, shouldn't it?
To stop this error, simply do: write(e), specify the overflow indicator
in F spec or change the overflow line to 67.

Subject: Printer File Overflow...

Hi all,
 
Okay, this is probably the most embarrassing question I have ever had to
pose, so no laughing...please!
 
I have a report program that reads a file and writes out to a printer
file.  For background, the program that writes to the file that I am
reading for this report only writes 66 lines per page and then begins a
new page starting over at line 1.  The printer file has a page length of
66 and an overflow of 66.  When I run the report to generate the report,
I get the dreaded "I/O error CPF5004 was detected in file..." overflow
error.
 
My question is this...why?  Here is the record format from the printer
file:
 
A          R LINE                                 
A            PRT85         85         1SPACEB(1)  
 
I must be missing something?  Yes, I can put overflow indicators and
check for errors and all of that, but the whole point is that I
shouldn't need to.  I am handling that by simply printing only 66 lines
per page, no?
 
I welcome your thoughts!
 
Best regards,
Dane
