I have a custom program with an error on the screen.  It points to line 94, but line 94 is just like the ones before and after it.

ZBAHW.scr                           Menus On            Line:94         Col:1    3    OPT-OUT-CODE-8        A     03          SB    HTM    3    OPT-OUT-CODE-9        A     03          SB    HTM    3    OPT-OUT-CODE-10       A     03          SB    HTM

Th error message is:

Line     94: Fld Err: Decimal Field's Display Length 0 < DecLength + 1 0

 

Any ideas are appreciated.  Thank you.

SCR definitions are column sensitive. From your screen shot, you need to have the line with dash 10 in line with the others (A under A, 03, under 03, etc).

Thank you Karen.  My columns are aligned.  Please find a truer screen shot below:

Hi Maynard - will you please attach your entire .scr file as an attachment? That might help...

I re-entered the entire .scr member from scratch, and the issue went away.  There must have been some corruption in the original member.

Thank you for asking.

Isn't that the worst? I'm glad you got it resolved. Kelly

If you download the source code and edit it in text editor on your PC then upload it to the server (like I do) chances are you had a tab embedded in one or more of your "spaces". That's happened to me before.
