RE: Softcoding Screens was:Subfile question

You can do it using five indicators, if you think of them as binary digits,
for example:

        -----Indicator-----
        05  04  03  02  01      Conditions
        Off Off Off Off On      Field01
        Off Off Off On  Off     Field02
        Off Off Off On  On      Field03
        ...                             ...
        ...                             ...
        On  Off On  Off Off     Field20

Hope it helps

Best regards
