Re: prtf edit codes not working?

Just for fun, what happens if you change a a few "J"s to any random other
edit  codes?  Possibly even a edit word.  Still the same result?

Have a DDS print file V4R5. RPGIV pgm. 
R $DETL1 FONT(223) 
@WEIGHT 7 3 34EDTCDE(J) 
@POSTAGE 7 2 39EDTCDE(J) 
@CERT$ 7 2 45EDTCDE(J) 
@BLANK$ 7 2 52EDTCDE(J) 
@RETURN$ 7 2 59EDTCDE(J) 
@RESTRICT 7 2 67EDTCDE(J) 
@TOTAL 7 2 74EDTCDE(J) 
 
it used to print like this
0.267 0.00 0.00 0.00 2.30 0.37 1.80
 
now does this
0000267000000000000000000000000023000000370000180
 
The only special parm on compiling DDS PRTF is *AFPDS
font 223 is a 17 cpi Courier. Type "U" (uniform width).
I've tried numerous variations on prtf compiler & override parms.
 
The printer does not do this - I can look at the spool file and see the "J"
edit code not working. 
I can copy the above line into a new print file, compile and it works!!
Almost like something else in dds causing problem. 
Other similar print lines, all font 223. Also have "BOX" and "LINE" keywords
in prtf.
No overlays, no page segments.
I'm lost on this - can I even call support on a V4r5 machine.
(i'm praying it's something stupid i've done).
Have loaded some AFP ptfs recently, but "think" it was still working
afterward.
