Hi Dee Dee

The string literal information coming up to describe screen fields in
WebTop (the name of the Web UI) is coming from the message ID that is
painted on the iSeries display programs. And the message IDs are stored
in the LX message files. This allows us to describe the display screen
in a soft-coded way, so that when viewing LX in various languages, the
correct translated message literal is presented to the user (based on
the language used to translate the messages in the message file in the
library list at runtime). Those message IDs have a length limitation
that was based on the original RPG screen design, which is a design that
is still used in the green screen part of the product. These same
message literals have to work for both Web and Green screen. 

Thanks,

Hi Genyphyr,

Just want to make sure I am getting this right...  Are you saying
because the green screen is restricted to less space (Curr vs.
Currency), that the GUI must follow suit?  Please advise when you get a
chance.  Thx.
