APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • It is possible that an extra line is inserted in a print form,
    when using floating forms. This extra line was partially fixed
    by APAR PM96755 but it did not handle the case where a page feed
    was at the position.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
    * Users that have floating print forms that see additional     *
    * form feeds happening.                                        *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
    * An additional form feed could happen for a floating form,    *
    * once PM96755 was installed. This previous APAR checked to    *
    * make sure the line count was correct but neglected to take   *
    * into account if the starting point for the original floating *
    * form was already aligned. If that was the case, a subsequent *
    * form feed was set, causing an addition page eject to occur.  *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    

Problem conclusion

  • The software was updated to additionally check to see if the
    floating form already aligned to the start position.
