Today, I experienced a bug whilst building a wide screen
definition in 2E. The build was okay but
when I went to use it (in the 2E device design editor), I was getting some low-level errors.
Upon googling the error, I came across this ticket which gave
a few workarounds, one of which I implemented.
The given workarounds were:-
- Set the screen footer to 25 as per the screen
print.
- Set the subfile page size for consuming
functions explicitly. I am assuming they
mean…
- Override the YSFLEND model value to *PLUS and
not *TEXT or override it in the consuming function
via F7=Function Options
All of these appear to be perfectly good reasons to postpone fixing
this issue up within the product as I am guessing...
- many use the + for subfile,
- many also forget to move the command line down to row 26 anyhow when creating and generating wide screens (they leave it at 23) and then wonder why they have a 3 row gap at the bottom of their screens 😊
Is it okay though, that 15 years after it was raised, it is
still an issue…..?
