I need some help in figuring out why the use of “Before Advancing” is
working differently in Visual Cobol vs Net Express 3.1.
I looked in the documentation and the online community, but did not find anything.
I found the project “BeforePositioning” under Net Express 3.1 and used that
to test under Visual Cobol 2.1. I got the same results with the sample program
OSVSBA.CBL program that I was having with our programs. Starting with Page 2 the
before advancing stays on the same line instead of being on the next line.
I have attached the code and sample report.
Is there something I need to add for VC?
If you view the .dat files with Notepad you can get a better picture of what is happening. If you use Word then you get the actual Page Breaks.
