G-Day all
Have any of you seen this one. We are using DOS6.0 until I can switch it
to 6.5++ DOS..
We have a report thats are based off a table that the user populates
through an Enter form.
This report has a few lookups and all seem to look ok in them. The user
uses this at least 2-3 times a day and about once a week in the middle
of the printing the report on each row which is usually about 10 to 50
rows the user has entered it will stop printing. The rows in the table
get deleted after this routine and the user has to re-enter..
Where is the best place to look for problems.
Here is the code that is being used to Enter to the table the report is
based on and to print off of it.
CASE 'Enter Forms to Print'
CLS
SET VAR whval0 TEXT
DIALOG 'Enter E for Employee claim, D for Dependent:' whval0
whtemp 1
IF whval0 = 'E' THEN
ENTER USING prtemp
ENDIF
IF whval0 = 'D' THEN
ENTER USING prtdep
ENDIF
CLEAR VAR whval0
RUN makeplay.cmd USING .pick11, 2
BREAK
CASE 'Print Forms'
CLS
DIALOG 'Ready to print?' vans whtemp YES
IF vans = 'NO' THEN
BREAK
ENDIF
SET PRINTER hpdesk2.prd
OUTPUT LPT1:
PRINT form2 WHERE ssnum IS NOT NULL
IF errvar <> 0 THEN
OUTPUT SCREEN
PAUSE 1 USING 'No forms to print. Press any key to continue.'
ENDIF
OUTPUT SCREEN
CLS
SET VAR vans2 TEXT = NULL
DIALOG 'Did forms print OK?' vans2 whtemp YES
IF vans2 = 'YES' THEN
DELETE FROM prtfrm
ENDIF
CLEAR VAR vans, vans2
RUN makeplay.cmd USING .pick11, 3
BREAK
The other curious thing about this is that the report has several BOLD
and BOLD OFF all the way through the report but it has one BOLD OFF for
each BOLD so it doesn't look to be a problem..
