Re: Indicators on a Window

Bingo! That was it. I didn't realize that once I used INDARA I need to map and then USE those mapped values.

Actually, it made the RPG a whole lot easier to read since I could set "Protect_Dsp = *on" rather than *in30=*on

Nice. Learned something new and on a Friday!

Thanks,

Pete

Steve,

Tell me more. The INDARA was already in the DDS and I was using it to map function keys. Do I need to map all indicators used for any reason in the DDS from the INDARA in my RPG code?

Really haven't spent too much time using INDARA, it was just part of the

DDS and RPGLE code copied from elsewhere.

The snippet DDS code is using INDARA...this sets up different

indicators

for the display file as opposed to your program indicators...maybe
you're not setting on the indicator you think you are....

Subject: Indicators on a Window

I am a little stumped here. I have a window that pops up and displays

some fields that can be edited. I also wanted to protect the fields

in

some cases and in other cases change color or hide the fields. I

added

display attributes conditioned on indicators in the dds and tested it while using SEU (normally would use WDSc here but I am on a box

without

the requisite PTF's). Anyway, in SEU, when I set the indicator on, a field that is supposed to be hidden IS hidden. When I run the program

that displays the window, the indicator is on (I can see it in debug) but the field still displays. It must be something in my DDS. Is

there

a trick when using Window that is different than a "regular" screen format in DDS? Snippets of DDS for here:

I am missing something basic, I think. What is it?

Thanks
