This: '|Spec printonly EOF a: w3 . set #0+=1', 'if a>#1 then', 'b: substr 1.8 of w2 . c: substr 9.6 of w2 .', 'set (#1:=a;#2:=b;#3:=c) fi', 'eof print #0 strip 5 /samples, max was/ nw print #1 strip nw', '/on/ nw print #2 strip nw /at/ nw print #3 strip nw',
causes: PIPSPE1037E Field identifiers cannot be defined in break items. PIPMSG004I ... Issued from stage 2 of pipeline 2 name "pageRate_alerts". PIPMSG001I ... Running "Spec printonly EOF a: w3 . set #0+=1 if a>#1 then". PIPSPE192I ... Scan at position 31; previous data "a: w3 . set #0+=1 if a>#1 then". and I just can't see it, unless the if...fi clause is considered a break item. No complaints without it though. And I've certainly defined field identifiers within if clauses before, just not in conjunction with a printonly option. Suggestions? Thanks, -- Mike Harding z/VM System Support /sp
