I recently created a report that listed individual transactions with error
codes on the same line. There were many possible errors which would prevent
a transaction from posting, and the user wanted a code next to each
transaction rather than a detailed explanation. This saved space on the
report, but required a footnote at the bottom of the report detailing each
possible error. I created a compile time array with each element being 80
char long. I then typed the entire listing of error codes & messages at the
bottom (after the O specs) including blank lines. When the report ran, I
stepped through the array printing out each line of the array checking for
overflow as I went. This printed out the entire list of errors with page
breaks.
