Hi David

Glad you created the example - it's always easier to respond
to practice, instead of theory. At the risk of stating the
obvious, the examples are almost always easy to create, and
IBM always say that they are not meant for production. They
know how to cover their lovely arses.

Regards
Vern

Scott, Simon,

I apologise for my ignorance.

I just created my own DSPF with from the IBM example, which

I should have done before posting. I did not realise it would
be very easy to do.

I had been asked to verify that it is not possible to

control the entering of non displayable characters by the
DSPF and stumbled on CHECK(VNE). Obviously, this will not help me.

Simon already explained what "the name" refers to. Since
CHECK(VNE) is for checking that you've keyed a valid OS/400 object
name, "the name"
refers to the object name you're keying in.

My question for you is this: What are you trying to

accomplish? Is

this just an exercise in understanding all of the possible DDS
options?
Or do you have some sort of business problem that you're

trying to

solve? If so, what?

I have to admit that I find the IBM information very hard to
understand. Which is why I made this post. I am

understanding, from

the example, that AB and VNE are combined so that a blank is then
acceptable in a zone with CHECK(VNE). I still do not

understand what

is meant by "the name" in the help text. What name?
