RE: Display File Ovelaping Fields

Ideally yes to avoid confusion.  If it's coded without the N25 and N26 then
the overlapping field (indicator 25) would be ignored.

Would it work better if he also used the N indicator?
   A   26N25
   A   25N26

I don't know exactly why I am saying this, except for a nagging from another
life.

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

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)
