RE: Dashes on DDS (NEW - One other question).

Hi Brian,


One other question - when I have a 4S 0 field in a PF, does it take up 5
characters on a screen output?
Fields in a PF don't take up any characters on a screen output :) But, I imagine you meant that you had a 4S 0 field in a display file.. heh.
The "S" denotes that the user be able to key a sign into the display file using the Field+ and Field- keys. Since the sign takes up 1 space, and the 4 digits of the number take 4 up spaces, that leaves you with a 5-character field. 

If you don't need the sign, don't use the "S" keying option...
