I have always made it a practice to define the number of decimal digits in a numeric field which you have not done. My testing with what you have makes this an alpha field. When I indicate the number of decimals, I may not put a data type or I give the data type as 'S'.

subject: Re: equivalent data type for packed field in Display file
i am also trying to define my field directly for the screen like below only difference is i am defining like below without using EDTCDE-
A Fld1 2N O 7 39
But i don't see my field name 'FLD1' on the screen like above, whereas within the same DDS other fields which are defined using reffld and have some text under Functions their data is displayed as is on the screen.
So not sure how the field name could be displayed here if I am not using REFFLD and Functions.in the DDS of display file.
Thanks
