Fixing Line Overflow, Heading Wraps, and Dynamic Page Breaks in IMU-Generated COBOL Reports
Easytrieve's proprietary REPORT facility automatically calculates dynamic column spacing, header wrapping, and control breaks. Discover how IMU's FSCRPT00 module maps reporting macros to standard COBOL LINAGE clauses and page counters.

Architectural Prevention & Performance Tuning Checklist
- Review reports with wide record layouts (e.g. 132 or 160 columns) to prevent printer wrap.
- Verify ANSI carriage control characters in column 1 (`' '`, `'0'`, `'-'`, `'1'`) using hex browse.
- Validate that `PAGE` number reset logic triggers accurately on top-level control breaks.
