I ended yesterday on a good note. Looking back at the program I see there was no valid FIELD statements. Actually it looks like this…
LIST 130
TAPE01 12:01 AM 29-May-99
130 ! FIELD !1%, (I%-1%)*32% AS D$, 27% AS B$, 5% AS A$
Ready
LIST 140
TAPE01 12:01 AM 29-May-99
140 ! TEST FOR MULTI LINE “&”
Ready
LIST 150
TAPE01 12:01 AM 29-May-99
150 FIELD !1%, (I%-1%)*164% AS FILL$
Ready
Line 150 should have a # after the FIELD statement. Somewhere along the line I must have done a search and replace. So of course printing FILL$ would print a blank line.
A reminder…

Hopefully that garbage is EBCDIC!
I assume records 1-10 are the AWS header record. I don’t remember the format. So it’s easier to assume!
I assume the 1st actual record above is #11
Now to use my EBCDIC conversion routine, I wrote earlier.
Now I’m rerunning the above program and getting totally different output.
