Re: Problems User define edit codes

Stephen,

My apologies if I'm insistent on the syntax part. I have done some
tests here and I have not found any problems but, Did you check if the
INTMASK and FRACMASK parms have the proper length? It seems to me that
the INTMASK is little long (they should be 9 and 2 spaces,
respectively).

Also, just curious, Why a 'N' as a decimal point?

It has been a long time since I last worked with User defined edit
codes, so I must been missing a lot of possibilities.

Yes I copied the objects from the old machine to the new one to make sure.

Stephen,

Are you sure that your edit code def. is the same in both machines? It could be that your edit masks differ in size...

Can anyone assist ?
We have just migrated to a news iSeries machine running V5R4M0.
Previous was running V5R3M0. The DSPF compiled ok on previous version
with FT03 marked change to field size included but didn't compile on
new box. The only difference I am aware of is the change to OS. All
other aspects are the same i.e code and edit code definitions. I have
changed the edit code description to see if this makes a difference
but no joy.
