Re: Lines on report do not match internal line count

We had a program blow up this morning with error code CPF5004. Looking at
the dump, I see that it indicates "Printer overflow line detected for
file".
The external overflow line is set to 60. The last line printed on the
report
was 47. This particular program uses a printer file information data
structure to determine the line number (I don't recall ever seeing this
before, and didn't know it could be done). The dump shows this to be at 60
at the time of the error. There is code in the program that indicates if
currentline >60 print the header. And I can quickly fix (and likely need to
since the report has the overflow at 60) by changing the > to >=.

The report was changed recently to include more data in the report, so it
may be that this is the first time it has exceeded a single page.

Here is my question: why was the currentline at 60 (from the printer file
INFDS) instead of 48?
