Re: Variable tips

"... If you specify a location of a field in a record and the field is not ignored, you can specify the location of subsequent fields within that record by leaving the line number blank and specifying a plus value (+n) for 42 through 44 (position entry). The plus value indicates the number of spaces to be left between the end of the previous field and the beginning of the field that you are defining. The plus value must be in the range of 0 through 99. If you specify a plus value, the line number entry must be blank. ..."

If I put +000 (zeros) in 40-43 of RPG Output Layout,
Does that mean calculate previous field end position
Plus length of latest field
Then append continuous with no spacing?

That's what I want since the field lengths are variable.

Thanks for the tips, some I will need to revisit later.

I had got side tracked & now returned to work on this project.
