RE: Printer File Overflow...

Unfortunately no, the header looks like this...

A          R LINE01                            
A            PRT85         85         1SKIPB(1)
A  55        PRTSI         17        95        

This is just bizarre because I am trying to print 66 lines to a printer
file that has a length of 66 and an overflow of 66.  It just doesn't
make sense to me.

Is the printer file line number accessible in the psds?  I am wondering
if it might be different than the actual line number of the record I am
reading for some reason?

You don't happen to have a SKIPB value of 2 on your header spec do you??



Thanks,

I didn't word this very well...

To further clarify, I should have said that when writing to the physical
file, I simply indicate the line number in a field.  Then when the
report program reads the file it checks for line 1 to start a new page.
But, in all cases, the highest line number in the file is 66.  So, in
this case no overflow checking "should" be necessary if everything is
set at 66.  In order to prevent the error from occurring I have to limit
my highest line number in the file to 64.  That strikes me as odd.
