RE: External Subfile indicator question...

I have had better luck changing the subfile field to a char that is 1 longer than the display size. A 7.2 Amt with a J code would be 10 + 1=11
In the pgm if you want red I do a AmtOut = HexRed + %EditC(Amt : 'J')

HexRed is x'28', HexWhite is x'22' and hexgreen is x'20'

I have had issues with losing the indicator value when the record is read.

Greetings,

I have a need to change the color attribute of a field in the subfile record of a subfile, based on an indicator.

ex:

CO Total

2 300

5 499-

6 15

If the total number is negative I need to change the color to Red.
Now, I would think that a simple 50 COLOR(RED) on that field would do the trick prior to the sfl record write, BUT, that's evidently not supported.

How can I make this happen?

Thanks

DR2
