Issues with POP work order form.

We want to print Work Order production comments/item notes above the components. Any comments/item notes added to Components thru the Edit Captured Bill should be printed below the component on the form.

The form layout has Line_Comment listed twice in the line items, as the first line and the last line. This seems to work fine if the component comments apply to the first line sequence item.

However, if we add comments/notes to any other line sequence/component, those print both above and below the component on the form.

How do we setup the format to print correctly?

Thanks, Sue
 
More information....

The comment files in OE and PP work the same in that header comments are attached to line 0 and line comments are attached to line numbers 1 or greater.

Header and line comments print as desired on our pick tickets...header comments in the detail section but above the line items, line comments print below the line items. I figured if it works in OE, I should be able to make it work in PP.

Looking at the fields in the Form Field Maintenance screen I found that the comment field on PT is from the DDF field 'COMMENT_OTYPE' from the file 'OELINCMT'. Attributes are alpha, 0 dec, 40 length, 20 field offset and user defined is not checked.

However, the DDF field 'COMMENT_OTYPE' from the 'PPLINCMT' file has attributes of alpha, 0 dec, length 1, offset 1 and user def IS checked.

Is this just an inconsistency between modules or is there more that I can do to make this work?
