Re: Fields not printing

I'm about to tear my hair out.

There are 2 fields not printing on an output line. First a bit of
background.

Warehouse employees scan a barcode and enter a quantity. This gets
captured to a raw scans file. The quantity will be something like "5.2"
meaning 5 cases and 2 units. In my program, I parse this into 2 packed
fields:

ITMCS = 5
ITMUN = 2

I print a report, the detail line has both the above fields along with
others. But these 2 fields do not print. Edit code is J meaning zero
balances print.

First I thought I was overlaying with other fields, but I'm not. This is
how far I went:

- I removed every field from the output line except these 2
- entered debug and stepped through
- the following are consecutive statements in the program

// Print it
Exsr OverFlow;
EXCEPT ITMPRT;

// Print any errors
Exsr EditRtn;

// Output
WRITE PICNTREC;

- I viewed both fields before each of the statements, stepping one by one
- even the statements in EditRtn
- both fields have the correct value at all times
- the printed line, ITMPRT, has nothing
- the file with record format PICNTREC has these 2 fields and they are
correct in the file

I cannot figure out why they would be blank on the printout. No indicator
used to condition that output. Other than compiler bug or something so
stupid that I cannot see it.

What am I missing and thanks.
