Re: S21 Display Files

You can make some minor changes to display files without causing
level checks after the display file is re-compiled and the Program is not.

It is not good practice to set programs etc. to run level check = NO.

If you are using the JBA GUI interface there are features within the
interface to hide fields and manipulate screen action.

If you choose to change and re-compile your display files I recomend
that you rename the Current Object rather than have compile delete and
replace it.  Then you will still have the display file at the matching
level of the program compile.  Should testing fail you can rename original
display file back.
