RE: My turn...LOL

Tommy;
There's a S%&*-pot full to digest here but I think I got the concept. We're
at code freeze until the end of next week. I'll take a look and see what I
can do.

Ok.  I'm working on a "generic" control file maintenance program using DSM.
The source members are as follows:

In the KRCONTROL file there is a variable called VALUE.  This value can
contain many different layouts depending on the record type.  The KRRCDTYP
file contains the valid record types, "subfield" definitions, etc.  What I'm
trying to accomplish is to use DSM to build a dynamic screen based on the
definition in the KRRCDTYP file to maintain the data stored in the KRCONTROL
file.  The DSM screen build works fine but I'm running into some issues with
extracting the data received back for updating/inserting records.  If I get
this crap working I'm going to open source this freaking thing.  If anyone
wants to help me out with some of this stuff I'd really appreciate it.  If I
can't get this to work then we'll be adding new screen formats every time we
need to add a new record type, which I'd prefer not to do (I feel it's
easier to add a new record set in a file than to have to maintain a
mainteenance program & display...

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Thanks,
Tommy Holden
