Re: %EQUAL in a DOU loop

Frank,

I take it that the program crashes on the line that increases KF_LINE. Your
comment suggests that KF_LINE is a 3-digit field, so that would mean that
the actual value is 999. That can only happen if the actual value of
FILEKEY15 exists in FILE15. My guess is that either your key definition is
incorrect (is KF_LINE part of FILEKEY15) or there is a record with 999 lines
of notes. The latter is easily checked with SQL:
select group_field, max(line) from FILE15 group by group_field order by 2
desc.

BTW: There is a simpler way to find the highest line:
C                   EVAL      KF_LINE = *HIVAL
C     FILEKEY15     SETLL     FILE15
C     group_field   READPE    FILE15
C                   IF        %eof(FILE15)
C* No lines yet; start with 1
C                   EVAL      LINE = 1
C                   ELSE
C                   IF        LINE = 999
C* Oops, full; maybe some error signaling
C                   ELSE
C* Add 1 to highest line
C                   EVAL      LINE = LINE + 1
C                   ENDIF
C                   ENDIF
