Re: Work With Fields

Just in case you have yet to discover it Buzz ...

Screen Designer also has the advantage over SDA that you can save named sets of conditioning indicators for testing the screen. It always bugged me that I would have to key them all into SDA only to have it forget them all for the next test.

In a similar fashion, you can save named groups of formats to be edited/displayed/tested together.

It works great, but sometimes - very rarely and I haven?t found a clue why - it messes up a keyword (slipping >it to the next field and generating a DDS compiler error). But it work 99,9%.

There are also options to center/align fields against each other or the form - even better than SDA, but you >have to try it out a bit, to find which option does what.

This works splendidly!

Many thanks (as the knife twists deeper into SDA).
