Re: multi layer prob.

The sample I sent you, with the chkobj and monmsg, is all CL program.  RPG is 
generally a fixed format language, with some exceptions to prove the rule.

If you want 'any fields' from the DSPOBJD displayed then what you'll have to do 
is get the data yourself and display them.  There are a number of ways to do 
this:

Do you have Query?  To test try: WRKQRY   If this command works then you have 
Query.  Try figuring out how to use it.  You can embed RUNQRY into a CL 
program.  You can also embed RUNQRY into a RPG program with CALL QCMDEXC.

If you do not have Query then you can enter the following line into a source 
member:
SELECT * FROM lib/file
Where the lib/file was created by the DSPOBJD.  Then run CRTQMQRY against this 
source member.  Then you can embed STRQMQRY in your program.

Or you can use RPG to read the file and display the records in a subfile on the 
screen.

actually, when i looked at a compile listing i'm running on V3R2M0.

something like this goes on in the RPG pgm. i take it.

"any fields" generated from the CALL QCMDEXC in the QTEMP file will be
displayed on the 2nd screen.
