RE: Changing Compiled Display File

As my old manager used to say, "Given enough time and money, we can do
anything." 

As to your question, The text descriptions on a file or its fields can
be changed without causing a 4131.  Changing the CA01 to CA03 will cause
a 4131 every time. What I do is put all Function Key on *in15.  Then all
need to do is detect the key via *IN(A-Y).  I do this:

        Select;
        When *inkc;
                {Exit};
        When *inkl;
                {exit};
        When *in15
                {display error message 'Invalid Function key');
        Endsl;

This way you can change the function keys and only have to compile the
program.

Haven't actually tried it with a display file, but maybe the LABEL ON 
command of SQL will do what you want.
