RE: [sqr-users] SQR-4503 Errors with 0 line offset in printcommand

Perfect, that did it; reading the error message I thought it was saying it 
didn't like "+0" as a position, but I must not have deciphered the message 
correctly.
 
I totally appreciate your quick response.

Try putting the plus sign in front of your offset variable: 
(+#LineOffset,,0)

One line of your code is  "LET #LineOffset = +1".  In that situation,
the plus sign doesn't count.  SQR is simply treating that as the value
1.  You need to code the plus sign in the PRINT offset to tell SQR that
it's a relative offset and not an absolute position.

(There is probably a way better way to accomplish what I'm trying to
do...; if so, let me know).

I have a report that lists a person's name and from 0 to many messages
for/about the person.

Person Name            Message
=====================  ===================================
Abel, Alan             This is message 1 for Alan
                      This is message 2 for Alan
Builder, Betty         This is the only message for Betty
Corva, Charles         
Davis, Danielle        This is message 1 for Danielle
                      This is message 2 for Danielle

As I go through the process for a person, I store the messages in an
array and at the end of the person
I print the name and then loop through the array to print any
accumulated messages.

On my first message for a person, I want the line offset to be 0; for
subsequent messages, I want the line offset to be +1

I tried the followoing and got the SQR 4503 error (presumably because if
the line offset is a variable it can't be 0)

PRINT $fmt_name        (+1, )

Let #LineOffset = 0
LET #AryIdx = 0
WHILE #AryIdx <= #AryLimit                 ! AryLimit is the number if
messages
GET $RptMsg FROM MsgArray(#AryIdx) Msg
PRINT $RptMsg              (#LineOffset, , 0)
LET #LineOffset = +1
ADD 1 TO #AryIdx
END-WHILE 

The only way I can get it to work is this:

LET #AryIdx = 0
WHILE #AryIdx <= #AryLimit
GET $RptMsg FROM MsgArray(#AryIdx) Msg
IF #AryIdx = 0                                ! First message
   PRINT $RptMsg              (0, , 0)
ELSE
   PRINT $RptMsg              (+1, , 0)
END-IF
ADD 1 TO #AryIdx
END-WHILE

I appreciate any ideas.
