There is a solution to this problem, but the solution might be worse than the problem: HTML. With HTML (using tables), you have great control over your output. But that's the problem: you have to exert great control even over the routine stuff, which is why DDS is still so valuable. -----Original Message----- From: rpg400-l-admin@midrange.com [mailto:rpg400-l-admin@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Richard B Baird Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 2:51 PM To: rpg400-l@midrange.com Subject: Dynamic subfile dilemma Aaron, if the fields are "input" or "both", than the answer is no. you cannot condition fields on a subfile. if they are output only, then the techniques described by others will do the trick. I agree with you - I have wanted to do the same thing in the past. your other option would be to devise your own paging routines make each line type a seperate record, with a variable starting line number (keyword SLNO?) I wouldn't be easy - you would have to process the page manually, and it would be a hassle, but definately doable. hth, Rick ---original message---- From: "Bartell, Aaron L.

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?
