Well, it is showing you that you have 43A, which is 431 with a positive sign (overpunched). It is also showing the absolute value, 431. Why, I don't know. I don't even know why the datanames you are showing don't match up. |

Have you asked the vendor your question? If your site is licensed to use File Aid, you can open an issue with Compuware. |

Hi,
Apology for difficult code format.
I am attaching the same in word document as the paste is changing the format.
Thanks,
Ganna |

I don't touch attachments so it is pointless as far as I am concerned. Everyone else seems to manage to cut'n'paste and use code tags so what is different for you? |

Why are the field names different than the field names you show in the copy book?
05 FLIC PIC S9(09) COMP. and 5 VLC S9(9) 5342 and others! |

Hi Ganna,
I noticed that you attempted to "Code" your post. I've put the Code tags where you intended.
One way to get them where you want them is to copy/paste the info from the screen, hightlight this, then click Code.
Preview to ensure you got what you wanted. |

From my old Fileaid manual:
Code: |
PICTURE (P) :Displays a representation of the original data declaration for each
elementary item, and changes the heading of the Field Description area to PICTURE.
The current field format can be modified with the Data Format Specification Syntax
of the DISPLAY command. When this command is issued, the data in the Field Value
area is reformatted, and the format displayed in the Field Description area is changed
to reflect the revised format.
The information in the Field Description area is intended to accurately represent the
data declaration (within the constraints of the column width). Therefore, the
information displayed with the PICTURE parameter varies, depending on the
language used to define record layouts.
|
So it's doing its best to try and tell you how the field is defined. You can change that whole column using the "SHOW" command. |
