Hi Darryl
How does the sub file program know to place a 1 on the left half of line one but a 4 on the right half of line 1 (
Surely its just a matter of changing your own code to make it display what you want
Or is there something that I am missing?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Next field in a sub file or display
We have a program where the users need to enter data basically repetitively.
The natural way the 5250 screens go when you press field exit or tab is to go to the field on the right.
I am using an initialized subfile to display the number of fields to be entered, example:
1 ________________________ 4 _____________________
2 ________________________ 5 _____________________
3 ________________________ 6 _____________________
So the natural way of entering the data would be field 1,4, 2, 5, 3, 6.
The issue is that users need to be able to enter data in a heads down fashion.
I am looking at trying to control the sequence using RPG however, I would prefer to have the subfile display the fields in the sequence entered.
1 ________________________ 2 _____________________
3 ________________________ 4 _____________________
5 ________________________ 6 _____________________
Is there a way to do this in in the subfile setup?
TIA.
