RE: Betterment of AS/400

How about alternate sort sequences on the fields?  You could sort the list
by file name, file id (T01, T02, etc.), or field name.  The "Position To"
field(s) should be intelligent enough to display appropriate information
based on how the fields are sorted.

Raj,

<clip> the Sequence/Select screens list out fields from both the files
(fields from primary file comes first and then the second file...etc). If
you
have a field called 'ITMNBR' in both the files, the screen will list it out
as
T01.ITMNBR and T02.ITMNBR. And both these fields will most likely scatter
into
different screen pages. So if you want to position to ITMNBR field from
first
file, what will you type in the 'PositionTo' field?? Will u type just ITMNBR
or
T01.ITMNBR?? If we type ITMNBR, which ITMNBR will it position (from T01 or
T02??) How many of us will type in T01.ITMNBR?

Any other better suggestions into this???
