RE: Display file attributes

Tim,

Glad it works, still a kludge, and the results you're seeing with the
output-only is not the intended design.  I doubt it is the screen compiler,
but more likely the emulation.  The way to test that the problem does not
lie with the screen compiler is to take the same program & display file
objects that Scott quickly put together to test this and run it on your
system.  I would be happy to pack up a savefile for you to restore and run
on your box if you'd like to try.

Earlier you said that you were running iSeries Access v5r5.  Maybe that's
the problem - you're running an alpha-alpha version of a future Access
release! <g>  v5r5 sounds more like the Personal Communications (display
emulator) application.  Anyway, I strongly suggest that you check to see if
you're current with service pack for whatever version of iSeries Access
you're using.

Replicating the problem on a 3477 terminal?  Hmmm, now I wonder about the
workstation controller.  I mismember, but aren't there PTFs that affect the
workstation controller?

BTW, all you old folks pining for the good ole days of displaying hex
attributes on the screen - yer really aging yourselves!  <g,d,&r>
