First use the indicator to actively display the field,
e.g. 81 4 13 'Planning WHS'
81 PWHS
83 4 14 'Wrkc'
83 WRKC
&c

Second ... use generic character fields, filled and then processed in the code ..
e.g. PROMPT 4 13
SELECTION 6 B 4 26
&c

Subject: Using Indicators to Show/Hide overlapping DDS fields.


I have a screen that I'm working on where the main subfile display data is
the same structure and columns but the search criteria that is at the top
of the screen in the control record can be different. On my first screen
I have some selections, for example warehouse, and workcenter. You can
only specify one of them to search by at a time. So when they choose to
search by warehouse I need the second screen to show a heading of WHSE __
<- filled in with their selection from screen 1. If they choose
workcenter then it should be WRKC ____ <- filled in with their selection
from screen1.

So what I tried to do was the following...
A*****************************
A*Warehouse
A*****************************
A 4 13'Planning WHS'
A N81 DSPATR(ND)
A PWHS 2 B 4 26COLOR(WHT)
A 70 DSPATR(RI)
A 71 DSPATR(PC)
A N81 DSPATR(ND)
A 4 29'+'
A N81 DSPATR(ND)

A*****************************
A*Workcenter
A*****************************
A 4 14'Wrkc'
A N83 DSPATR(ND)
A WRKC 6Y 0B 4 18COLOR(WHT)
A EDTCDE(3)
A 66 DSPATR(RI)
A 67 DSPATR(PC)
A N83 DSPATR(ND)
A 4 25'+'
A N83 DSPATR(ND)

So basically I'm trying to NonDisplay one field and display the other.
But this doesn't work. I can't figure out why, so I assume there is
something that I don't know about how Non Display and field overlapping
works. There are 5 different search criteria total and this was
originally 5 different procedures with 5 different screens. Because these
screens are soooo similar I want to make them all one and just play with
the 1 field in the control record.
