Re: File field descriptions

Hi Joe

    If you are interested in extracting the x,y coordinates of screen fields
from the object itself you could use

  *==========================================================
  * Api Prototypes
  *==========================================================
 D RtvFileD        PR                  extpgm( 'QDFRTVFD' )
 D  RtrnData                  32767A
 D  RtrnLen                      10I 0
 D  FormatName                    8A
 D  FilLibName                   20A
 D  ErrorCode                          Like(ErrorParm)

    though it is a bit difficult to use...

Regards
Rick
