Re: Subfile indicator question...

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Assuming you've done things correctly...

How much space have you left between fields?  You need at least 2 ( maybe
3? it's been a while) spaces between fields.

As the COLOR and/or DSPATR take a space before and a space after to turn on
and turn off the selected attributes.

When they are to close, the attributes get overwritten and things don't
show up as expected.
