Unrelated to 'use statements' I hit some type of MAX or somet hing

[Nancy Tietz]

Yeah, it is an important report and it has a lot of calculations and pic's
in the footings that are 'use'd in all 6 levels.  The programmer is still
working on it trying various things to simplify.  But I was thinking that a
statement like
FILE QUIZSCR;DISC=2000000
or
FILE QUIZSORT;DISC=2000000
or
something similar might help.  I'd hate to see him have to put the whole
stupid report to disc and add the footings in separate steps.  
Thanks for your kind words,
nt

Nancy,

It sounds like you hit some type of max or something, as you say.
I remember something similar about 14 years ago on a DG AOS/VS machine and
Powerhouse version 5.3.4 or something similar.
I was not getting any error, quiz just aborted when compiling.
I had to remove levels of footings, remove items etc.
Another thing that helped was to move any formatting stuff (pic, bwz etc.)
for defined items from the reporting/footing statements section to the
define statements.
It took me about a week to get the program to compile.

I believe that a report with 6 levels of footings with 30 fields for each
level is unreadable. Management insisted that the report was necessary so we
had to do it. However, it was never used.

Just trying to help.

latest news: "by removing unneeded fields in the input subfile I now can
show 4 footings but not 5."

Dear ListServer,
Below is a further problem this programmer is having with the same Quiz on
which Robert Mills assisted.

(By the way, the USE STD1.use file was approx. 200 lines long to get a 14
line footer, and it was needed in 6 footing at's.)

Now, some sort of MAX has been reached.  The old program that worked had 4
sort items and only 1 footer line.  The new program needs to have 6 sort
items and 6 footing at statements.  Each of those footing at stmt's has this
200 line temp 'use' file in it.  There is only 1 file being accessed at the
top.

Result:  It stops printing in the middle of a footer and gives this message:
 *Fatal Error* *45* Notify Cognos Customer Support

Also, if 1 footing line is removed, it does work.  However all 6 footing at
stmt's are necessary.  See below for what all else we tried.

Thank you for your kind help.
Nancy

Do you have time to pose this question to the list server? The quizscr=
and quizsort = has not helped.
 *Fatal Error* *45* Notify Cognos Customer Support

I have 6 sorts 6 footings. Each footing has 10 lines and 13 columns.
It runs without error with any variation of 3 footings but not 4
footings. It stops in the middle of one of the footings (not a
particular one).
