Question marks in Quick

[Knox, Dave (Dallas CSC Citrix)]

Look for nulls or other nonprintable characters in the data. Especially if
the  data is generated by something other than Cognos (eg Cobol).

Also check if the item is redefined in the PDL at all. For example, it was
populated as numeric, and read/displayed as a char field...

Regards
