FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
OpenEdge 10.x
SYMPTOM(s):
4GL/ABL: Error (74) displaying the field _index._mod-sequence using its default display format.
** Value cannot be displayed using . (74)
Running code similar to:
FOR EACH _index NO-LOCK:
IF _index._mod-sequence <> ? THEN DO:
FIND _File OF _Index.
DISPLAY _file-name _index._mod-sequence.
END.
END.
CAUSE:
The default display format of the field is not large enough for its data. Specifically, the format of the field _index._mod-sequence is defined in Data Dictionary as ">>>>>>9" while the length of its value is longer than the 7 digits specified by this display format .
CAUSE:
This is a known issue.
FIX:
A workaround is to override the default format defined in the Data Dictionary by using the FORMAT phrase. For example:
FOR EACH _index NO-LOCK:
IF _index._mod-sequence <> ? THEN DO:
FIND _File OF _Index.
DISPLAY _file-name _index._mod-sequence FORMAT ">>>>>>>>>9".
END.
END.
