Re: *DSPF question.

Tim,  In the S/36 Environment on the AS/400 compile your present SDA source
(will be in source file QS36SRC in your library).  The 400 automatically
translates your source to AS/400 display file DDS and places the source in
file QS36DDSSRC and then runs CRTDSPF to actually create the display file.
This happens every time you recreate a S/36 DSPF.  Just look in file 
QS36DDSSRC and you can see exactly how it translates your S & D specs into
DDS.  Once you have recreated all your S/36 DSPF's, if you are still going
to run in the S/36EE but have no need to transfer your code back to a real
S/36, you may want to just delete your S/36 DSPF source and use the DDS in
QS36DDSSRC from then on (allows you to use native SDA which is much easier
to work with).
