Output format headers

[Rodgers Hemer]

Top Posted

I am trying this question again as I have not yet received any  
suggestions that solved the problem.  Steve Wiltsie and Richard  
Kreiss tried but to no avail.  I did run the code using debug and saw  
nothing wrong.   The real, dummy, and system fields showed the  
correct data.  However, when the code is run, those results do not  
show in the header section, not even the system fields of @td and  
@pn.  This same code ran perfectly on a windows system and other  
reports on the SCO system are working as expected.  The only thing  
that I see as unique in this case is that the program is archiving  
and deleting the selected records during the output process.  And  
then the report is printed as a final step.
I would be most grateful for additional ideas to correct this  
problem.  The process table (prc.arcbox for file fhms) and its output  
form are attached if that would be helpful.
