Re: reference file removed

instead of XXXA, make it A*.  the * has to be right after the "A" spec form 
type.

I had a small application that was written by a outside consultant, and written 
with a reference file. We don't want to use the reference file, so I went in 
and changed all the references, but in my display files I have two fields 
giving me problems.  I get a error on the edtcde and edtword that worked when 
the field was referenced, but now it wont take them.  Below is a example the 
lines with XXXX are the error lines.   Any light you can shed on this would be 
greatly appreciated.  
 
Thanks Chris.
