RE: Indicator Redux -- RPG400-L

Thank you. Guess I DIDN'T do that in the dark ages, eh?

Hi Dave,

What you have is a conditioned field overlaying a portion of an
unconditioned field.  Try this instead in your display file:

     A N27                             23 53'F17=Exclude System'
     A                                      COLOR(BLU)
     A  27                             23 53'F17=Include System'
     A                                      COLOR(BLU)

Any field defined on the display file is always preceded by an attribute
byte that takes up one displayable position.  So if you had been able to
overlay "F17=Exclude System" with "In", what you actually would've
gotten is "F17= Inlude System" or maybe "F17=In ude System"; probably
not what you wanted.

Hokkaii... Here is the portion of the screen that's supposed to

change:


 F17=Exclude System

When I click on F17 it turns variable F17System *ON.

     D  FunctionKeys          01     30                        
       ----
     D  F17System             17     17n  <---------------
      ----
     D  ExcludeSys            27     27n  <---------------

Then I turn ExcludeSys on or off

                // Exclude system in sort
                When F17system;
                   if ExcludeSys;
                      ExcludeSys = *OFF;
                   else;
                      ExcludeSys = *ON;
                   endif;                 

At this point (first time through) ExcludeSys is *ON

However, my display file never changes...

     A                                 23 53'F17=Exclude System'
     A                                      COLOR(BLU)
     A  27                             23 58'In'
     A                                      COLOR(BLU)

What it should show is "F17=Include System"
But it still shows "F17=Exclude System"

What am I doing wrong?

That looks good to me. Sure you've got the right display file, and 
that it compiled with no errors regarding INDARA?
