Re: DSPF FILE CHANGE

Manish,

This may help, even though it is not the answer you are looking for.

You can now copy dds members as a copybook. So, when you define one or more statements in one dds, simply use a COPYBOOK statement in all the others.
You can also use COPYBOOK to copy a single line, or a group of lines.

This is one of my sites, and one of my utilities.

Dear All,

I am stuck in a big problem. I need to change around 30 display files where
the library of fields needs to be changed from MANBOI to GEPRGSDATA. Now
since GEPRGSDATA is bigger than MANBOI, it is getting overflowed to next
line many a times. I have around 50 fields in every display files. It is a
massive work to change all of them and the C MANBOI GEPRGSDATA at the top is
not helpful.

My question is, Is there a technique in display files where i can just write
at the top of the program, define MANBOI to GEPRGSDATA ?

Thanks for your reply
Manish
