RE: 170 columns in a display file??????

Are the fields all output? If so an option would be to place a single
130-byte field on the screen and populate it in code with the correct
values. You would know that the user was looking at one field that
contained:

"123   $4.56   Red   XL   3,002   5/6/03"

But to the user it would look like 6 fields. I've used this technique before
to display over 100 fields on a subfile line and it's quite powerful. The
real nice advantage to this is that you can allow the user to decide which
fields to show and in what order to display them.

Subject: 170 columns in a display file??????


Hi

There is a requirement where I need to display fields which occupy about 170

columns in all. I have changed the default number of columns to 132 from the

default value of 80 but I havent got the desired output. What I'm looking at

is having the default value to be 80 columns I should be able to scan 
through all the fields. How can I do that?

Incase you haven't understood my query to make things clear, when we use a 
runqry option by pressing F19 and F20 we can move the screen to the left and

right respectively.I would be happy with some thing like that. How is that 
done?

Thanks
