Based on a code snippet someone showed in this list I have made a procedure
called "RtvFldLoc". The main part is the "Retrieve display file description API"
( QDFRTVFD ). This API is amazing fast.
I use it to indicate any errors in display fields. You don't need indicators and
the
API keeps track of any change that is done to the display file.
The procedure is part of a service program that handles display file related
stuff.
