Hi Vern,

What is the content of line 2000004 of the compile listing - I suspect
it is a field in a file - maybe the 2nd file of your F-specs.

I thought someone might ask. That's why I put it in my original email.

In the compile it shows it created as:
DTEOFHIRE D(10*USA/)

Thanks,

Gary

I have a Date field described in a program as:

In the compile it shows it created as:

In the output it is described as:
O DTEOFHIRE D
NOTE: I've tried it with and without the edit code of D
In the externally described file it is:
A DTEOFHIRE L TEXT('Employment Date')
A COLHDG('Employment' +
A 'Date' )

When I compile the program I get this error:
*RNF7606 20 2000004 The Data-Format entry is A or N but field
DTEOFHIRE is
not of type character or indicator.

Does anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Running V5R3

Thank you,

Gary
