RE: INFDS and AID byte

["Jewel, Jerry" <jerry.jewel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,

Hopefully I've understood your predicament...

Move the AID-byte value from the INFDS to a work field immediately after
most EXFMT's or READ's from your display file (you choose which ones).
Then do your AID-byte comparisons against the work field (NOT the INFDS
field).  If you wish to force a value into the AID-byte, move the new
valued into the work field (NOT the INFDS field).

Regards,

        ........It seems like the AID byte in the file's buffer (or
wherever INFDS is maintained), keeps its last value.  How can I get
around this......
