RE: Variable Subfilefields

["Njål Fisketjøn" <n.f@xxxxxxx>]

With "normal" DDS
Make subfile page equal to subfile size.
Make "every possible" field length and condition them by indicators.
A simpler approach is to do like the WRKDBF utility and place a "NORMAL" 
attribute
(x'20') where the field ends, but then you can see the full length.

The "proper" way to do this, is either use DSM (Dynamic Screen Manager) or
USRDFN keyword in DDS and 5250 data stream commands.
