Re: Overlay Type Objects

[Jodi_Walker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Jodi Walker)]

     You might try using the field level keyword POSITION.  This dictates 
     where a specific field is to appear on the logical page.  It takes 2 
     parms, which are required. The first defines the position down the 
     logical page, the second parm defines the position across, in either 
     inches or centimeters, dependent upon the setting of the CRTPRTF UOM 
     parm. Valid ranges are a)for cm: 0 - 57.90, b) for in: 0 -22.75.  This 
     is a bit more fine tuning that you can get with row & column used in 
     'standard' DDS. Conditioning indicators can be used.
     
     These parms can either be hard-coded in the DDS or be dynamic via 
     program to system fields.  If you use variables, they must be defined 
     in the same record format as the POSITION keyword, must be defined as 
     program to system data type, and must be 5 byte zoned with 3 decimal 
     positions. 

        enjoy
