Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * IMS users that use MFS for printing and have floating prints *
  * forms.                                                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * If a print form is created that contains a floating form,    *
  * the footer page that comes after the floating pages will use *
  * the row position that the user specified for the MFS DPAGE   *
  * position, but it should be overridden to a value of 1. This  *
  * problem will cause footer page information to be printed     *
  * further on the page by the number of lines (row) specified   *
  * by the POS=(row,col) - 1.                                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• The software has been updated to override the value specified
  for the row to 1, so the calculation for the MFS POS= parameter
  will become correct.
