RE: Word wrapping

Alan,
        I would just pretend it's a page-at-a-time sub file.  You can
monitor for the page keys (using indicator, hex value from INFDS or
%STATUS(DSPF) = 1123(up)/1122(dn)).  Internally to the program maybe use
a data structure array based on the database record, dimmed the number
of lines on the screen or dimmed at max size and then pointed to a user
space that is loaded with the text data.  

        Alternatively look at a product called Document Integrator, we
use it for most cases where we want users to enter notes.  It has this
same feature you are looking for plus more.  Check it out for at least
some inspiration.  ( http://www.seacrest.com/proddi.asp )  Their basic
edit API we use is just a bunch of lines that each have CHECK(ER)
assigned and then they check perform word wrapping code within the API.



Thanks, Matt

Subject: Word wrapping


Afternoon all,


I have a sub-file that I am displaying data from a file. Part of this
data
is a field that is 170 characters. I need to display and accept the
data.
In my search, I have discovered 2 keywords, within DDS that would seem
to
fit the bill.
These words are
CNTFIELD (continued field) and WRDWRAP.
Bob Cozzi has posted an article about these 2 fields at

http://www.mcpressonline.com/mc?50@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@.6b16d290

When I read this article, I pumped my fist in the air. This is exactly
what
I was looking for, but as usual, my glee was short-lived. These keywords
do
NOT work with sub-files.
My question is as follows.
Does anyone know of equivalent sub-file keywords?
or
Does anyone have a procedure applicable for a sub-file, that would do
the
same thing?

Thanks in anticipation
