Darren,

I've never tried to do this - but couldn't you define the fields in the subfile record as input with Protect so the user couldn't actually type anything there?

Subject: READC and *INPUT datastructure


How do you use READC correctly with a DS?

I've been using data structures more with my RPG I/O commands. I'm a
little stumped by READC though. The manual says that the data structure
used in a READC must be defined with *INPUT, which means only input capable
fields are defined. In many of my subfile programs, the action field is
the only input capable field available. So if the user puts a 2 on the
second record subfile record, you get a '2' back in the READC, but nothing
else.
