Maybe something like this?

Top of the screen (starting on line 2 because col.1, line 1. must be left blank):
S1TOP 800 2 1 WRDWRAP Bottom of screen:
S1FLD1 15 12 1
....
S1FLD75 15 21 65

And then in your RPG program define a datastructure:
D ScreenData ds D S1TOP
D S1FLD1
....
D S1FLD75

and in your C-specs you
can fill the screen fields with:
C eval ScreenData = FieldFromFile
and fill the data fields with:
C eval FieldFromFile = ScreenData

That probably has glitches, but you get the idea and can clean it up easily enough.,

Don't know if this can be done?

Say you have a database Field Description defined as 1600 bytes (20 rows x 80 columns)

Then say you want to allow sentence/paragraph text entry into the whole top half of that entry screen, 10 rows x 80 columns,

Finally, you want to display and break out the bottom half of the screen into rows and columns like Excel for columnar data entry (and subsequent readable print format).

So say your (10 row) bottom half FIVE COLUMNS would BE: 15 then 1 blank, 15 then 1 blank, 15 then 1 blank, 15 then 1, 15.

So while all the data will be in one large field (which will BE FULLY scanable for querying), certain bytes of the field will be "hard coded" so to speak. Make sense?
