Re: prtf edit codes not working?

["Booth Martin" <Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It used to work?  
 
There isn't enough spaces for it to work is there?   These fields haven't
the room for the edit characters unless I have misunderstood how it works.  
You are trying to get  12,345.67-  to fit in 7 print positions?

Have a DDS print file V4R5. RPGIV pgm. 
R $DETL1 FONT(223) 
@WEIGHT 7 3 34EDTCDE(J) 
@POSTAGE 7 2 39EDTCDE(J) 
@CERT$ 7 2 45EDTCDE(J) 
@BLANK$ 7 2 52EDTCDE(J) 
@RETURN$ 7 2 59EDTCDE(J) 
@RESTRICT 7 2 67EDTCDE(J) 
@TOTAL 7 2 74EDTCDE(J) 
 
it used to print like this
0.267 0.00 0.00 0.00 2.30 0.37 1.80
 
now does this
0000267000000000000000000000000023000000370000180
 
The only special parm on compiling DDS PRTF is *AFPDS
font 223 is a 17 cpi Courier. Type "U" (uniform width).
I've tried numerous variations on prtf compiler & override parms.
 
The printer does not do this - I can look at the spool file and see the "J"
edit code not working. 
I can copy the above line into a new print file, compile and it works!!
Almost like something else in dds causing problem. 
Other similar print lines, all font 223. Also have "BOX" and "LINE" keywords
in prtf.
No overlays, no page segments.
I'm lost on this - can I even call support on a V4r5 machine.
(i'm praying it's something stupid i've done).
Have loaded some AFP ptfs recently, but "think" it was still working
afterward.
