Hi Al!

I have a guess!

Your sysdate is at tab 161 for a picture of 8.  This would put it at col
168.  If you have not set nospace, QUIZ will reserve two spaces at the end
of the report line.  That would force your date to wrap.  Try the same
report with set nospace.

Greetings to the list.....

I came across something interesting and am curious if others have had the
same experience.

In QUIZ (PH8.29D) on my trusty HP 3000 937/LX running MPE/iX 6.0 pp0....
  (Oh Yeah, I'm Running For Power Patches Right Now....!)

I SET REP DEV DISK, and SET PAGE WIDTH 169.

When I try to REPORT .....TAB 161 SYSDATE PIC '^^^^^^^^' &
				TAB 169 '1'

My record[161:9] = '2        '

   => YET <=

When I SET PAGE WIDTH 170
My record[161:9] = '200101041'

I welcome any information on this....

Thanks In Advance!
