Faced with the same problem in Sys/36 days I made various "views" that were toggled with function keys so the right side of the 80 column display could show "View 1" or "View 2" or "View 3". The views were set up with logically related fields so that a user could in fact see what he wanted. _______________________ Booth Martin Booth@MartinVT.com http://www.MartinVT.com _______________________ "Schlemme, Michael C." <mschlemme@frpaper.com> Sent by: owner-rpg400-l@midrange.com 08/24/2000 03:18 PM Please respond to RPG400-L To: "'RPG400-L@midrange.com'" <RPG400-L@midrange.com> cc: Subject: RE: Move subfile left and right? How about ......... (just some ideas, not the entire logic..........) o A long work field to contain all the data you need on one line o An 80 (or whatever) byte subfile field to contain a part of the long work field In program StartingValue = 1 LongWorkField = ' 123.47- Department name 20:25:05 xxxxxxxxooooooooeeeeeeee 99995555555blahblahblah SflField = %SubSt(LongWorkField : StartingValue : %Size(SflField)) Write subfile record If WindowRightKey If StartingValue + %Size(SflSize) <= %Size(LongWorkField) StartingValue = StartingValue + %Size(SflField) Else Message = 'Can''t window right' Same idea for Window left key. Could window right/left based on cursor/subfile record position or for all subfile records on screen. How's this for a starting idea ??????????? On display file SflRecord = %SubStr(LongWorkField : StartingValue : 80) -----Original Message----- From: eric.delong@pmsi-services.com [SMTP:eric.delong@pmsi-services.com] Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2000 7:54 AM To: RPG400-L@midrange.com Subject: Re: Move subfile left and right? Hmmm, what about 132 column display? May cause squinting and crossed eyes, but otherwise gives you the extra room you need. eric.delong@pmsi-services.com ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Move subfile left and right? Author: <RPG400-L@midrange.com> at INET_WACO Date: 8/24/00 4:21 PM Hi all! Sorry if this is OT, but as the program is written in RPG, I figured the question would fit here . . . I have a subfile with a selection field, 6 signed numeric fields(11,2), as well as a description field (30 char, and *all* 30 characters are being used. My problem is to fit the whole record on one line of a 80 column screen. (132 width is next to impossible to read on CA, and the users *insist* that all the fields be on 1 line). I can't create a splf and just display that, as the users need to make additional selections on the sfl rec. Is there short way to define the fields beyond 80 char, and let the subfile behave like query or dspsplf? I can only think of using 2 subfiles, but that seems a bit cumbersome. Any "quick and dirty" solutions would be welcome :-) TIA Jaco Jonker. +--- | This is the RPG/400 Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to RPG400-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to RPG400-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to RPG400-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +--- +--- | This is the RPG/400 Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to RPG400-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to RPG400-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to RPG400-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +--- +--- | This is the RPG/400 Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to RPG400-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to RPG400-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to RPG400-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
