Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

 

 User is receiving error message with Easytrieve r11.6 

    EZTC0652E >>>$ line overflow by 2 columns  

Environment: 

 Easytrieve upgrade difference from Easytrieve r6.4, to Easytrieve r11.6. 

 

Cause:

 

 PAGE-COUNT changed between Easytrieve 6.4 and Easytrieve 11.x from 2 B to 4 I, so the new length of PAGE-COUNT is now 10 Digits in display format. 

 

Workaround:

 

 

 Alternatively, the new R11.6 field of PAGE-NUMBER may be used, this is defined a 4 P,

 so it will occupy only 6 digits. However, this is still 1 digit longer than

 the 2 B PAGE-COUNT in 6.4. 

 

 

Additional Information:

 

For most applications, the solutions are to either shift the start position of PAGE-COUNT back columns or substitute it with PAGE-NUMBER. 

 

So the real cause is the increased length of this system defined field.
