EZTC0447E error - for example when using the CONVEA macro, which is calling the CV macro:
...

          160  DEFINE CONVEA_FROM_FLD_         1   1   A                                                      -CV

EZTC0447E >>>         $ PRINTER file cannot have fields

 

Environment

Resolution

There is likely a conflict with the FILE PRINTER and the field definitions. The solution can be to move the following "FILE ... PRINTER" definition:
...
FILE PRTRPT PRINTER 
...
to the top of the source, after PARM and before all other FILE definitions - this could fix the EZTC0447E error.
