Hello,

I am getting a garbage value 202020202.02 in the amount fields whose debit and credit values value are zeroes, while printing to a CSV file. I have already initialized that field in the CSV but not working. I checked, using display statements, it is picking up the correct values, also calcuating current values but while priniting it prints up 202020202.02 from nowhere. It is occuring for only those account values which have zero credit and debit account.

Any idea ?

Thanks- Vijay

Sounds like the amount field is not being initialized although you say you did. Are you using a CSV workfile or is this a printfile you are saving as CSV?=

Thanks John, I am using a CSV file, Here i am calculating the Balance sheet amounts period wise for the current fiscal year, For the initial amounts whose balance sheet amounts are null these amounts are coming from nowhere, after that everything is coming out fine.

What you are seeing is an uninitialized (i.e. NULL) amount, so you must not be initializing the CSV record at the beginning of your program.

John is correct Vijay you need to initialize those two amount fields at last just before writing to CSV and only if the account values which have zero credit and debit account. See example below...

Eg: IF (WS-DEBIT-ACCT = 0)
MOVE 0 TO CSV-AMT-FIELD
ELSE
MOVE WS-VALUE TO CSV-AMT-FIELD
END-IF.
