Re: COBOL400-L Digest, Vol 1, Issue 203 -- COBOL400-L

Jack,

Thanks for responding to my inquiry. I have been able to suppress the blank page by changing the COBOL code to print after advancing zero lines (rather than PAGE) for the very first line of print (if line count equal 99). Thanks, again.

subject: Extra Print Lines

Greetings to all.

I have search the archives on this subject but have found no references to it. The problem is extra print lines at the top of QPRINT files. When the QPRINT file is copied to a physical file, it looks like this:

001 1 001 02/05/03 23:24:08 FAENRL 1 1CENSUS DATE USED 01/27/03 3PELL NMID NAME 2 * 246138 Sandra T. Angney

My program is not explicitly writing the '001' and '1' lines at the top of each QPRINT. This is not a big deal when printing a large batch run, but it is for individual random read and print runs. The problem involves various QPRINT files we have, some landscape, some portrait, with various settings. (It is not a problem with a program-generated print file we have from a third party vendor). Does anyone know how to get rid of these extra lines?

Marge,

Did you use CPYSPLF CtlChar(*PRTCTL) to copy the spool file to a Phy File
or some other mechanism? I presume you did based on your example.

if so... the 001 is control to indicate report will jump to line 001 before
if prints. The first 001 would print a blank line on page 1. The second 001
would jump to page two, line 1 and print "02/05/03 23:24:08 FAENRL"

001 <--- jump to line 1 of page(new page)
1 <--- quantity of lines to skip before printing

It appears you have a blank page in front.

Are you using overflow processing that would cause a page jump at the
beginning of your output?
Do you have Seperator Pages designated on your print files, in overrides,
or on the OUTQ?

1. Have you actually printed this report? What does it look like?
2. If you display the spool file you can use the "Page/Line" info in the
top right of the screen to help debug.
