Man, this is NUTS!!  Someone had hard coded in the W2.ASC to print all W2s
where LName < "phillips" 

 

Augh!!!  

 

There was probably some issue last year that caused them to need to restart
the run or something, so my predecessor's predecessor, hard coded a value in
there...  

 

Anyway, as always, thanks to everyone on this list.  You're all always so
helpful!

Are their non-standard characters in any fields of that particular record?

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Printing Issue

We are printing W2 forms for about 650 employees.  R:Base 6.5++ is printing
about 2/3 of them, and stopping on a specific name.  Thinking it may be a
print buffer issue, we tried a beefier printer.  Stopped on  exactly the same
name.  Similarly, we tried printing from a different machine.  Exact same
result. 

 

Thinking this may be a workaround, I removed all rows from the temporary
table down to the "Ps" which included the last employee printed and the two
above him, leaving us with about 150 or so rows and re-ran the print job.  It
printed three W2s;  the last employee printed and the two above him.  

 

Why won't these W2s print?  I don't even know where to begin investigating
this.
