Re: cannot find printer file defined field

Is the program/module you try to compile doing a write on the record

If the record format is not being used by the RPG program, fields in the
record format will not be included in the program.



If you don't want to add a WRITE statement for your printer file, you
can just add a blank P spec to the end of your source to get the
output-only fields recognized.  When the compiler finds a P spec, it
generates O specs for all externally-described records, just in case a
later procedure does a WRITE operation.
