Quiz Reporting Errors

I don't know exactly how your compile job works and I'm no expert on the   
Compaq environment but I have seen similar problems doing "bulk" compiles   
on an hp3k. Although our standard states that every Quiz source shall   
start with "set default" sloppy coders sometimes omit this line.   
Depending on what the programmer actually does "set" and depending on the   
version of Quiz things like "report name" and "report limit" can be   
inherited from one Quiz program to another. This became such a nuisance   
that my batch compile job starts a nice fresh new execution of Quiz and   
Qtp for each and every source file. Absolutely brutal on the machine but   
it gets the compiling done cleanly.

In your case, check for a "report limit" somewhere earlier in the compile   
job than the report giving you the trouble.
