I didn't see that you resolved your issue.
We use CHGINPDFT


A CHGINPDFT(UL)
A SFGROUP 2 B 7 8
A 73 DSPATR(PR)
A N73 DSPATR(UL)

On 73 Protect
When not protected show the underline.

Subject: DDS screen design: how to use one screen for both display AND
update

Building a SINGLE screen for both update AND display of a cust record.

What is a good method to use ONE DDS record format for both UPDATE and
DISPLAY.

For DISPLAY, I want the field protected and NO underline showing.

For UPDATE, I want the field unprotected with underline showing.


If the CUSTNAME field has usage "B" = both, how can I suppress the underline
for DISPLAY?

(There is no DSPATR for removing the underlines).

I thought that CHGINPDFT might do the trick. However I cannot condition
that on the mode DISPLAY or UPDATE.


Is the best method to describe each field twice?

For example


41 CUSTNAME B
N41 CUSTNAME O



It seems sloppy - any better ideas?

Thanks in advance!
