Re: Generate a DSPF from a PF?

Good idea.  Here's the Help:

Symbol
Single Field   Multiple Field   Field
Mode           Mode             Meaning

&              &n               Places field.  Does not add
                                column heading.

&L             &nL              Places field.  Adds a column
                                heading to the left of the field.
&R             &nR              Places field.  Adds a column
                                heading to the right of the field.

&C             &nC              Places field.  Adds a column above
                                the field.  Left-aligns column
                                heading for an alphabetic field
                                and right-aligns column heading
                                for a numeric field.

&P             &nP              Places the column heading only.

While it might not be exactly 'generating' the DSPF from the PF perhaps this will help.

In SDA add a record format and then press F10, on the subsequent screen specify the PF name,libr, and format, and one of the options listed, then press enter. Then on the blank screen that's presented notice that the PF fields are listed at the bottom. You can begin adding these PF fields by entering &/n/ where you want the field located on the screen. /n/ is the field number listed at the bottom of the screen. This is a pretty quick and easy way to create a UPDDTA style panel from a PF.
