Jeff,
I use REFFLD's all the time (V5R4 latest Cume) and haven't had any problems. So a couple of silly questions (because I know you've already checked these):
1. Is ALICMREG is the library list at the time you tried to compile?
2. If so, is INVDT still defined in the file?

Subject: Date field in print file as REFFLD
All,
I opened a PMR on this.
I have a DDS defined printer file, CUSTCM, with an *ISO date field in
it, as a REFFLD. Source line looks like this (columns off, BTW):
A INVDT R 10 38REFFLD(INVDT *LIBL/ALICMREG)
This file is in production and has been for over a year. A DSPFFD of
CUSTCM show the following definition for field INVDT:
*...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
Field Type Length Length Buffer Buffer Usage Row
Column
INVDT DATE 10 10 155 Output
10 38
Field text . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Invoice date
Referenced information
Referenced file . . . . . . . . . . . . : ALICMREG
Library . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : DBMSTF
Referenced record format . . . . . . . : INVSUMRC
Referenced field . . . . . . . . . . . : INVDT
Attributes changed . . . . . . . . . . : None
Date Format . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *ISO
So you know it is indeed currently defined that way.
I needed to move another field in this print file to another location.
So I copied the DDS to another library, moved that other field, and
tried compiling the print file. I get the following error in the compile:
2300 A INVDT R 10 38REFFLD(INVDT *LIBL/ALICMREG)
* CPD7494-.
* CPD7616-*
The errors read:
* CPD7494 20 2 Message: Keyword value not allowed.
* CPD7616 30 2 Message: Keyword ignored because of error in list of values.
Since it is currently compiled with REFFLD, it worked at one time. Could
a subsequent PTF broken it in some way? I searched PTF cover letters and
didn't find an answer.
Thanks.
