Rob,

Agreed that variable length would have some advantages but some of the notes fill several SFILE pages and there are some REQUIRED line breaks.. So it turns into trading one complication for another.

I took an un-educated chance and threw the proposed change into the form. So far so good but the user review is again tomorrow.

Thanks.

Roger

Any chance you can change the 5250 end? Dump using a subfile, and a separate record in a file for each line of notes. Instead use a variable length field. When we lost OV/400 and storing our Notes in OV/400 documents this is what we did instead. Granted, doing variable length fields is a lot simpler on html and notes than it is on 5250 screens, but it is doable. Subfiles s... for multiple lines of notes. You delete three characters in the first line and you have to manually adjust the rest.
