  • Subject: Still having problems with Reference variables in DDS

I posted this message earlier this week, and tried Ragnar's suggestion.
However, the CRTPRTF compile still tells me that it cannot find that I have
used &FDSC on any keyword. Does anyone use program to system values for the
FNTCHRSET keyword? If I can change the font of a field from my RPG program
on the fly I can greatly simplify a very complicated label program I am
working on. 

The field LPDESC works fine. I want to convert it to the LXDESC line.
  A          R STDLAB                                                     
  A            LPDESC        30          POSITION( &YDSC1 &XDSC1 )
  A                                      FNTCHRSET(C0A687A0 T1V10037)
   * replace C0A687A0 with &FDSC reference variable
                                           
  A            LXDESC        30          POSITION( &YDSC &XDSC )
  A                                      FNTCHRSET( &FDSC T1V10037)
   * reference variable definitions
  A            XDSC1          5S 3P
  A            YDSC1          5S 3P
