RE: Display File Ovelaping Fields

Hi Mike

The coding you have should work although I would personally take the
conditioning off the COLOR(WHT) as it's implied by the condition on the
"field".

Are you coding a straight forward display file format or are you coding a
subfile record format.  You cannot condition fields on a subfile record, but
you can on subfile controls and ordinary display formats.

However, the way I would do this would be to code an output field on the
display and store the texts in a message file.  In the program I would do a
RTVMSG to bring in the text and update the output field accordingly.

Hope it helps

Jonathan

Subject: Display File Ovelaping Fields

I am designing a screen and based on a selection a couple different fields
will appear. However, I want to use the space for both sets of fields. It
has been so long I don't remember how to do it. I have tried to place an
indicator on the field and set non-display I still get overlap errors. Here
is a couple sample fields.

     A  26                              5  2'Employee Information:'
     A  26                                  COLOR(WHT)
     A  25                              5  2'Complainant Info:'
     A  25                                  COLOR(WHT)
