Re: %OFFSET

how odd, I have the opposite view.

A subfield in an externally described data struct can be uniquely identified
by its offset into the ds. ( along with the eds file name ).  Using these
keys, a proc could lookup the quslfld generated table for the column heading
and other info of the field.  From there, an on the fly html making program
could generate a web page showing a fields value and its column heading.

The following code may look messy, but it has a write once advantage to it:
     AddColumnToHtmlTable( conExtDsFileName:
                           %offset( Employee.Name ):
                           Employee:
                           sHtmlTableString ) ;

Where Employee is a qualified DS that contains the data to display.
And sHtmlTableString is a string that will be written to stdout to display
the web page.

AddColumnToHtmlTable(conExtDsFileName:
                     %addr(Employee.Name)-%addr(Employee):
                     Employee:
                     sHtmlTableString);
