RE: Problems User define edit codes -- RPG400-L

That's ok it my first time dealing with them.

That's why I decided to copy the objects over from the old box rather than recreate then to make sure I had same definitions. The N does look odd but again I just took it as it exists so therefore this must have been asked for and is correct. I do know it's for our Spanish users but that is all. I thought maybe the N stood for something like *NONE but it doesn't appear to. Note, field was originally 9,2 but has just changed to 11,2 - the edit code seems to work for both definitions on our old box.

Stephen,

My apologies if I'm insistent on the syntax part. I have done some tests here and I have not found any problems but, Did you check if the INTMASK and FRACMASK parms have the proper length? It seems to me that the INTMASK is little long (they should be 9 and 2 spaces, respectively).

Also, just curious, Why a 'N' as a decimal point?

It has been a long time since I last worked with User defined edit codes, so I must been missing a lot of possibilities.

Stephen,

Are you sure that your edit code def. is the same in both machines? It
could be that your edit masks differ in size...

Can anyone assist ?
We have just migrated to a news iSeries machine running V5R4M0.
Previous was running V5R3M0. The DSPF compiled ok on previous version
with FT03 marked change to field size included but didn't compile on
new box. The only difference I am aware of is the change to OS. All
other aspects are the same i.e code and edit code definitions. I have
changed the edit code description to see if this makes a difference
but no joy.
