Re: Word wrapping -- RPG400-L


I was thinking somewhat along the same lines. Displaying the first 40
characters of the 180 character field, and then when a new record needs to
be added, or a present record needs to be modified/changed, displaying that
action to ONE record in another window, and using WRDWRP  and/or CNTFIELD
within that one record window

At 70 or so characters per line you won't be fitting many subfile
records on the screen at one time.

Would it make sense to just show a window that displays one record and
enable the page up/down keys so you can page through your data with the
page keys?

Afternoon all,


I have a sub-file that I am displaying data from a file. Part of this

data

is a field that is 170 characters. I need to display and accept the data.
In my search, I have discovered 2 keywords, within DDS that would seem to
fit the bill.
These words are
CNTFIELD (continued field) and WRDWRAP.
Bob Cozzi has posted an article about these 2 fields at

http://www.mcpressonline.com/mc?50@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@.6b16d290

When I read this article, I pumped my fist in the air. This is exactly

what

I was looking for, but as usual, my glee was short-lived. These keywords

do

NOT work with sub-files.
My question is as follows.
Does anyone know of equivalent sub-file keywords?
or
Does anyone have a procedure applicable for a sub-file, that would do the
same thing?

Thanks in anticipation
