You have a limit of 8 pieces and 4 columns?  This is a max of 32 fields on
the screen at one time if I understand the issue.

I'd probably define a data structure of an array of 8 elements, 79 long. 
Then I would define 4 subfields of18 characters long, overlaying the array. 
I'd probably space the fields in the array by 1 so I could eval the array
element into a 79 character output field for the screen (I doubt that I
would use a subile as there are never more than 8 elements).  

Filling the char fields is no problem.  Use %editC(field:'N') to format the
numeric fields nicely.

I have a very simple request however I think I am looking at this in a
very cumbersome program and am hoping someone out there has done this in
a 'slick' way.
 
I want to display data in a column format for upto 8 pieces of info.
Like a subfile but each piece in the subfile could be different type of
info (some character, some numeric.)   I don't want to have to define
each piece of info as its own individual name and move from the file to
all these hardcoded fields.
 
 
Ie.
 
RecipeName          RecipeName          RecipeName         RecipeName
 
Ingredient1             Ingredient1             Ingredient1
Ingredient1
Ingredient2              Ingredient2            Ingredient2
Ingredient2
SpecInstruction1     SpecInstruction1   SpecInstruction1
SpecInstruction1
 .

Each Read on the file will fill one of these columns.
 
Thanks!
