Thanks, Larry, this is a very interesting concept and I appreciate your
indulging my curiosity.  If I may, I have one more question.  How do you
handle the situation where the user wants to enter more than one value for a
given parameter?  Say the user wants to select an undefined number of SKUs?
Do you keep something in your file to indicate that is the case for the
parameter so the screen generation program displays that particular field ad
infinitum?  

Thanks again.

It isn't that difficult - you just bank the indicators in blocks - 6 
indicators allow 64 possible variations:

Below are two fields that occupy the same position in a subfile line. Thie 
first is a 1A, the second is a 2A. The indicator values for each are - 
000001 & 000010. Obviously, the 3A field has 000011. These 6 indicators 
allow you to specify 64 different length fields. You simply save the bank 
into a hidden field on the subfile line. So, when you read the line (via 
readc) the hidden field will tell you which field was actually active on 
that line.

This isn't TOTAL position control. Our subfile fields form two columns down 
the screen. The subfiles take the form:
