29 Review Possible Errors and Joblogs in DREAM Writer

This chapter contains these topics:

29.1 Reviewing Possible Errors in DREAM Writer

29.1.1 Error messages

Check for error messages sent to screen.

29.1.2 Two people cannot be updating the same version at the same time

If you submit a version to execute, and it is waiting in the Job Queue, and you or someone else changes a processing option, selection, or sequence, in a copy of that version, your printed report reflects those changes.

  • This is no longer the case in the G/L Post and the Print Source programs and will be changed in other programs with new releases of the software.

  • Verify in User Defined Codes, System 00 and Record Type DW.

29.1.3 Forcing JOBLOG

Normal and Abnormal Messages.

29.1.4 DDS/OPNQRYF

Check the statement that DREAM Writer generates (selection 7 on DREAM Writer Version List) to make sure you have not requested the impossible.

29.1.5 A processing option controlling which records are excluded for the report

Check processing options on the cover page.

29.1.6 Mixing Select and Omit

If you are using a logical file, you cannot have a range of omit values in the middle of a select group. Open query can handle this.

29.1.7 Check library list in Job Description

Verify the User is accessing the same DREAM Writer file in batch and online.

29.1.8 File Prefix/Field Names changed since the DREAM Writer was set up

29.1.9 Hard Coded Level Break logic

  • If you change the sequencing, the results can be unpredictable.

  • Look at the online help to verify.

  • Try running the program in the same sequence as the DEMO Version.
