APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

  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.
