RE: Dynamic subfile dilemma

[Tom Daly <Tdaly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Aaron,

Why not just make the 'dynamic fields' be just a big text field and have
your pgm put whatever it wants in there.  I've used this approach to good
effect.

 |
 |
 |  I have a problem that I am trying to solve by allowing
 |  different fields to
 |  be displayed in the subfile based upon another template
 |  physical file that I
 |  am reading.  So basically I want a subfile that can look
 |  something like
 |  this:
 |
 |
 |  Seq   Dynamic Fields
 |  999   BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
 |  999   BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
 |  999   BBBBBBBBBBBBB  BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
 |  999   BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
 |  999   BBBBBBBBB  BBBBBBBBBBBBB  BBBBBBBBBBBB
 |  999   BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
 |  999   BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
 |  999   BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
 |
 |  I have tried using the non-display character to display the
 |  correct field at
 |  the correct time but it gives me a field overlap error when
 |  I try to add a
 |  field that "touches/overlaps" another field.
 |
 |  I have tried putting an indicator at the field level for
 |  each subfile field
 |  but that errors on the compile saying that I can't have a
 |  indicator at the
 |  field level.  But I can have indicators at the field level
 |  on a non-subfile
 |  field?  Hmmm . . .
 |
 |  Is there any way to do what I am trying to do?
