Re: %ADDR (or BASED?) Problem? - Thanks & Follow-Up

Thank you Barbara and Scott! This works like a charm (but you already knew
that, I guess! :-)

But I have one more question. Originally, I had defined a external data
structure for the display file also, but my program wouldn't compile
because the display file has this:

A                                      CHANGE(49)

and the compiler choked and told me that *IN49 is a reserved word.  I
don't mind keying in all the field names (there are only 30 of them :-),
but I was hoping to avoid having to do that. If I remove the CHANGE
indicator from the display file, the external data structure works fine,
but for various reasons I need to have some way to know if the user
changed data without checking all the fields.

I know it's asking a lot, but is there some way to have the best of both
worlds -- use the external data structure for the display file but still
have a way of knowing if there were changes?

Thanks very much!
