How To Remove Error 74 From Reports Where Values Do Not Fit
Error 74 will display on a report when the data being
displayed for a field will not fit the display format for
that field.
Consider the following code sample:
def var a as char init "test1".
def var b as int format "999".
define frame testfr
a b.
output to test.txt.
assign b = 1234.
display a b with frame testfr.
The report, test.txt contains the following:
** Value 1234 cannot be displayed using 999. (74)
a b
-------- ---
test1 ???
You may stop this error from displaying on your report
by adding a no-error to the display statement. Note that
this can only be done in Version 8 and higher.
So changing the display statement to:
display a b with frame testfr no-error.
will give the following results (without the error) in test.txt:
a b
-------- ---
test1 ???
