It's really great of you to look at this for me.

about RE: Runs fine in Debug mode:

Most of the time when a program runs okay in debug but doen't when not
in debug, the problem is with a called program. Debug lays out the
parameters differently and will protect against some memory corruption.
I'd look here
'* Create Member History - Member Date History *
C CALL 'UUPGXFR'
90 Create Member H
C PARM *BLANK SevenA
C PARM AIAICD SevenN
Member Referenc
C PARM TODAYSDATE2 SevenN2
Date Entered
C PARM TransCode SixA
Transaction Cod
C PARM TransDesc ThirtyA
Description
C Eval *In35 = *On
Age Record Written
and make sure all the parameter lengths line up between this program and
the called program.

Even though that called program was running fine and all the records were being
written I checked the lengths and that they were lined up corrctely . I certainly
don't want to through the debugger off.

Another clue: *In35, if off, skips calling your print subroutine.

This turned out to be the problem. For some reason I couldn't see it.

I don't understand for the life of me why it would run fine in the debugger and not
fine running live.

Thanks a ton for helping me find this problem.

Gary,

I think we'd need to see the code to give you more intelligent

advice.

I'm happy to show the code to anyone. How would you like to see it?
If you like you can see it at: http://tinypaste.com/31479 Or if you
suggest a more convient way let me know.

Thank you,

Gary

Is this RPG or RPGLE? Input primary or IF?

RPGLE
Input primary

SQLRPGLE?

No

OVRDBF?

None

Are you using QTEMP?

No

What makes you sure it's not reading the "not printed"?

It is reading the file just fine because it writes every record just

fine.

It just doesn't print every record.
Every time it runs it skips printing the same records.

Subject: Runs fine in Debug mode

I have a program that I can't figure out. It runs fine in debug

mode when

I am
steeping through the program. When I run it without debug it
skips printing some of the records. I'm running it
interactivly on the same screen

both in and

out of debug.
Since it's on the same screen it runs with the same user and the

same library list.
It's printing record 1 & 2 then it skips to record 8 it skips

record 9 and

prints record
10,11, 12, skips 13 & 14 and prints record 15.

It's a simple program that reads one file sequencialy, writes

one file and

prints a
report. The file it's writing is processing every record just

fine.

I don't understand how it can skip some of the records when it's

not in debug mode and process all the records when it is.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gary Kuznitz
