Error "*E* Group 17 is empty." in ALIGN statements

[Bruin, J.M. (Mark) de]

Might be due to the definition of the variable that contains the column
number in the powerhouse source code!
Sounds like a single byte with sign bit(but why, negative values aren't
allowed here). This would mean something like 2^7 -1 (though zero isn't
valid as well!) to be the max i.e. 127.
Could also be an array with a lowerbound=0 (and thus an upperbound=127).
 
This are just wild guesses. Don't hang me up on them!
 
The limitation is weird whatever the cause

	Yes. Trail and error showed that 127 is the maximum number! I
wonder why?
	 
	Thanks anyway

	Hi Fernando, 
	I think I recall there being that there is a majic number;
beyond which you cannot place an alignment position.
	You might try and swap your 122 and 129 fields ie
	(,,122) for the 4 character field, then say (,,127)
	Sincerely
	Glenn Baxter
