Hello everyone,
I have a field that is 40 characters long and I would like to center any
text that comes into this field. Does anyone know how to do this. I am
trying to use OVERLAY but I get an error when I specify the second
parameter (Start Position) as another field in my program. HELP !!! :-(

Peace of cake ...

Hope that helps... I'm in a rush to sign off right now ... but it works...

RPGIV probably uses something different than CHEKR like CHECKR but this is
what I could remember real fast.
