Re: Space between fields in printer file -- RPG400-L

it seems field started missing one decimal position both in it's details
records as well as at the summary(total -footer portion) record , the
moment i increased the length of the adjacent field, if i do not increase
the length of the adjacent field then both at the detail record level and
at the footer level it shows correctly the decimal positions.

Also since it's being a program described printer file having O Specs in
it so not sure how to increase the length of the desired field without
getting truncated the adjacent field( which currently gets truncated when i
increase the length of the adjacent field)

Thanks

I'm still not clear if the field is missing the data or if the field is
being overlayed in the printer file position.First of all, a printer file
does not use end position. Only the old O-soecs use them. Printer files
use starting position.Secondly, use +2 or whatever spacing you want for all
fields but the first one on each line.Use the Report Layout Utility to see
the output on screen while you are designing.Yours truly,Glenn

file Hi,Just to explain it in more detail:-fields headings names are
different from their corresponding total names.example :- headings :-
fld1 fld2 fld3 For Total-
Tfld1 Tfld2 TFld3So likewise their are multiple such field
headings and multiple differentTotal headings corresponding to each fields
here in this printer file sothe problem is found when one of these field
for example here let's say iincrease the length of Tfld3 so because this
fld2's detail part ismissing one decimal position as well as it's footer
part(Total of field2Tfld2) is also missing one decimal position, i tried
shifting end positionfor both fld3 and fld2 but it made no impact , i am
still missing onedecimal positon here for both in detail records of fld2
also in total offield2 (Tfld2-footer part).ThanksOn Sat, 4 Jun 2022 at
