Hi,

Using v2.11.02 on Windows, I notice that:-

DISPLAY SFMT("%1 stock(s) checked, %2 stock(s) refreshed.",l_no_recs,l_no_done)

is displayed as:-

44 STOCK(S) CHECKED, 0 stock(s) refreshed.

Regards,

David

Hello David,

This is working for me when using INTEGER or SMALLINT variables...

Can we have more details please?

What are the data types?

What gives DISPLAY l_no_recs, l_no_done ?

Thanks,
Seb

Hi Seb,

They are both INTEGER's. If I change the prompts to:-

 DISPLAY l_no_recs,l_no_done
 DISPLAY SFMT("%1 stock(s) checked, %2 stock(s) refreshed.",l_no_recs,l_no_done)

I get,

         44          0
44 STOCK(S) CHECKED, 0 stock(s) refreshed.

Weird!

David.

Hi David,

Yes, it looks weird, probably a side effect.

Any chance to get a sample program so we can reproduce here?

What shows fglrun -i mbcs?

What happens if you change a bit the message text?
(maybe some invalid character inside)

Cheers,
Seb

Hi Seb,

Apologies but this turned out to be my fault. We use an in-house developed precompiler. One thing it looks for is environment variables, which means it looks for strings like %FGLRUN%. Its currently getting a bit confused by the %1 and %2 references and uppercasing the text in between the two % characters!

Very embarrassing :-)

Regards,

David

No problem, glad to see you found the reason!
