As far as I know, the only way to accomplish this would be to define the
fields on the screen using numeric extensions.  You could then use arrays in
COBOL or a work file to load the screen fields.  I guess it would be
something like:
FIELDA1, FIELDA2, FIELDA3...FIELDA10 in the DDS.

Having written COBOL on the AS/400, I'll tell you that my experience with
subfiles in that language was that of someone wondering what the compiler
writer was thinking.  Subfiles are significantly more difficult to manage in
COBOL than RPG on the AS/400.

Hope that helps and good luck.

If we use subfiles, then the programs will have to be rewritten. Is there
a way of having multiple records on the screen without having to code
subfiles?
