Re: [EXTERNAL] Fields not printing

I created 2 work fields:

D wITMCS S Like(ITMCS)
D wITMUN S Like(ITMUN)

placed them on the print line instead of the original fields:

O wITMCS J 70
O wITMUN J 75

and just before the Except I have:

wITMCS = ITMCS;
wITMUN = ITMUN;
EXCEPT ITMPRT;

and lo and behold, they print!

Does that not mean some compiler issue?

No OVRPRTF involved. It's 140 characters print file. These fields end

Hi Jeff
What positions on the print line are these 2 fields/
What is the width of the print file:-
In the program
In the actual print file

I had something similar - but it turned out that the actual print file
was 132 characters wide - but the position of the fields were something
like 145 and more
The OVRPRTF was NOT correct
The file name was misspelt - so it was ignoring the OVRPRTF

Subject: [EXTERNAL] 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.
