The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

The manuals are full of examples of adjusting the POSITION of a field

either adjusting the field LENGTH according to the active display size,
or selecting an alternate RECORD according to the active display size.
I think you are asking how your program can tell what size display it's
operating with. The File Information Data Structure knows that. See
columns 67 - 70

If we can alter the field length on the fly, that's news to me.
Two record formats has the ugly problem of naming the fields in such a
way that they're easy to deal with in the HLL.
If at all possible, I'd go with the maximum size field, put it in a
subfile and use SFLFOLD/SFLDROP.
