I'm debugging an eztrieve program.
It creates a report, and in the report, one of the lines is missing a line break.
in the offending line: first byte is low values x'00', whereas in the other lines it is either 0, spaces or 1 (I thnk 1 is for page break).
I compared the program with a similar program, and I don't see anything out of the ordinary.
the program prints title 1, title 2, title 3, and then line 1, line 2, line 3.
The problem is in line 1.
This is the first eztrieve program I'm debugging, and am lost
Do you have any pointers? |

Hello,
Did this ever work correctly? If yes, what was changed since then?
As an experiment, you might make all of title 3 comment lines. . . |

No, this program has been missing the line break from day 1, but it was not changed because it was not a big thing
Now that another part of the code is changed, we want to fix this as well.
I'll go ahead and comment out the titles, as you said. |

I did that, no use.
I inserted an extra line at the start
Tried deleting one of the lines..
In all cases, the first byte of the first heading row (line 1) is always low values. |

If you can't fix it, then you may need to open an incident report with CA. 
Perhaps the EZT version/release you're using is missing PTF's?
Contact your Tech Support personnel and find out if you're running a supported version, with all PTF's applied.
As far as using EZT debugging, I can't help....

Try to increase LINESIZE on your REPORT statement, or
try COL 120 SYSDATE
I guess LINE 1 overflows the default of 132 |

I see "title" and "line" - which are you naming "header"?
It may help if you show the first 10 print lines of the first 2 pages. I realize that i dont really understand how often and where the x'00' occurs. . .  |

We worked around the problem by inserting a new blank line above the offending line.
The low-values were still present, but the report looks presentable.
line1 line2
now is
line1 blankline
line2
and since the blank line is invisible, it appears like:
line1
line2
There was a lack of time for fixing this issue.
I will update this post when I find a fix in my spare time.
Thanks |
