Re: Using Indicators to Show/Hide overlapping DDS fields.

First use the indicator to actively display the field,
e.g.  81  4 13 'Planning WHS'
        81 PWHS
       83  4 14 'Wrkc'
       83  WRKC
&c

Second ... use generic character fields, filled and then processed in the 
code ..
e.g. PROMPT   4 13
      SELECTION    6  B  4 26
&c
