RE: *NOMAIN procedure with display file

["Kurt Anderson" <kurt.anderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lim hit it on the head.  Move that data structure outside of the
procedure and it should work (or move your Procedure begin and Procedure
Interface lines below the data structure - same thing).  If variables
are defined in a procedure, it's local, and overrides any file fields
with the same name.

Haven't had a chance to test it yet.  But a quick glance of the code
seems to indicate that the problem is probably cause by the fieldDS data
structure contains field1/2/3.  Remember that fields in the file (At
aleast up to V5R4) are considered global variables.  If you re-defined a
global field in a procedure.  The field in this procedure override the
global field.  So... If you move you fieldDS to the global section, I
think, everything should work fine.  Just a guess..
