Quiz Reporting Errors

[Richard Kessler]

Thanks to all who replied to my original post (below).

We have recompiled all our production code using a CANCEL CLEAR
between each QUIZ, but are still getting reports that do not subtotal
all numbers.  We are recompiling the erroneous reports, one by one,
as we find them. Then everything is ok.  Am not tooo concerned to
find a solution now, as we don't expect to recompile everything like
this very soon.  But wanted to give some feedback here for
others to be on the lookout for similar problems.


Thanks!

Have recently re-compiled our source code with PH813D under AIX (UNIX)
and are seeing problems with the numerical/data output on QUIZ reports.  
The numbers are not correct.  Have not been able to gather enough detail to
determine this for sure, but it looks like not all transactions have been 
picked up, resulting in numbers that are smaller than expected, and 
otherwise incorrect. 

Our typical method of generating a report is to have a QTP produce a
subfile which is then used by the QUIZ report for further linking(if
necessary) and reporting. 

In the cases where we have identified problems, I can manually run the 
QUIZ source code through QUIZ against the subfile that has already
been created, and the report comes out ok.  This seems to indicate
that the QTP part of the process is ok.  If we recompile the erroneous
report (again using the subfile that was associated with the first error),
then the report runs correctly on subsequent attempts. 

The method used to compile all the QUIZ reports was to first run
QTP and compile all the programs that create subfiles. Then, 
without exiting QTP, a QUIZ session is called so that all the
QUIZ source(s) can be compiled using the 'subfiles' structures
that are currently in memory from the QTP compiles.  We don't do
all 2700 programs like this. They are broken up into 15 different 
modules.

I suspect that we might have a problem with this compile method
and some limitation in the environment such as memory or disk
space limits that might be causing some of the QUIZ reports
to be faulty. 


Thanks!
