Re: DDS Starting Line Number (SLNO)

Thanks, Barbara, for your answer. I never thought of looking in the RPG
manual for a DDS specification. Can I presume I can use a different field
for different display record formats? (Assuming I need to have different
formats, using the SLN(*VAR) feature, on the display at the same time.)

RPG's SLN keyword applies to the whole file. I guess you'd have to keep separate variables for the start line for each record, and set the SLN variable before you EXFMT or WRITE each record. I assume this would work, but I've never tried having two SLNO formats in the same file.
