Having trouble with my lines in COBOL - cobol

Question

I am having a little issue I cannot solve. My lines are showing up wrong on my output. For example I have a line that is suppose to show up like this:
123-45-6789 J S Doe Second Yr Programming 88 266 3.02
but instead is showing up like this:
123-45-6789 J S Doe Second Yr Programming 88 266
3.02
Anyone know how to fix this. I have never encountered this problem before.
Here are is the storage area for the lines
01 DETAIL-LINE.
05 DL-FIRST-NUM PIC X(3).
05 DL-DASH-1 PIC X VALUE '-'.
05 DL-SECOND-NUM PIC XX.
05 DL-DASH-2 PIC X VALUE '-'.
05 DL-THIRD-NUM PIC X(4).
05 BLANK-A-OUT PIC X(3) VALUE SPACES.
05 DL-FIRST-LETTER PIC X.
05 BLANK-B-OUT PIC X VALUE SPACES.
05 DL-SECOND-LETTER PIC X.
05 BLANK-C-OUT PIC X VALUE SPACES.
05 DL-LAST-NAME PIC X(9).
05 BLANK-D-OUT PIC X(2) VALUE SPACES.
05 DL-CLASS-STANDING PIC X(9).
05 BLANK-E-OUT PIC X(3) VALUE SPACES.
05 DL-MAJOR PIC X(13).
05 BLANK-F-OUT PIC X(3) VALUE SPACES.
05 DL-HOURS PIC ZZ9.
05 BLANK-G-OUT PIC X(5) VALUE SPACES.
05 DL-POINTS PIC ZZ9.
05 BLANK-H-OUT PIC X(4) VALUE SPACES.
05 DL-GPA PIC 9.99.
and here is the code to write it out
400-PROCESS-ONE-RECORD.

Answer 1

There are a couple of possible explanations for the line break.
The first explanation to eliminate is line wrapping caused by
whatever device you are displaying output on. Based on the DETAIL-LINE record
layout you have provided, the wrap occurs at column 72. Suspicious. Does your output device (eg. screen, or file) wrap lines at column 72
The next possible explanation involves some non-SPACE character, such as a line feed,
stored in BLANK-H-OUT. This may have happened through any number of programming goofs
elsewhere in the program. Unchecked out of bounds array/table references are often the
source of this sort of thing. Working this out will take some real debugging.

Answer 2

Are you writing to a 72 character wide file? My hunch is that your record is 3 characters too short.
Can you post your File Section?
