Define Two Non Display Fields in the same positions

[nandas400]

Hi

Is it possible to define two non display fields(or text) in the same position in the display file?

Eg:
12 2 'Field A...............'
N70 Dspatr(ND)


12 2 'Field B...............'
N60 Dspatr(ND)


This is what I am trying to accomplish.
1) I want to display Field A on the screen when the Indicator 70 is *On( *In60 will be off when *In70 is *ON)
2) I want to display Field B on the screen when the Indicator 60 is *On( *In70 will be off when *In60 is *ON)

Is this possbile?

I am able to define the above texts in the display file but I am not able to display them

Thank You
Nanda

yes...
you will need to say 60N70 and 70N60

I tired and it does not work. Only Field A displays.(The field that is defined first in DDs is displayed)

Oh it works! This Rusky Hat Trick has been around at least since 1981.

Hi AS400PRO

This is my DDS

A          R SCRN1                                                  
A                                      WINDOW(MSGCTL)               
A                                      CHANGE(35)                   
A                                      RTNCSRLOC(&#RCD &#FLD &#POS) 
A  86                                 CSRLOC(#ROW       #COL)      
A                                      OVERLAY                      
A                                 10  2'FIELD A . . . . . . . .'  
A  70N60                               DSPATR(ND)                 
A            #FIELDA       10A    10 27                           
A  70N60                               DSPATR(ND)                 
A                                 10  2'FIELD B......... . . . .' 
A  60N70                               DSPATR(ND) 

RPG: (Working)

Eval *In60 = *On;    
Eval *In70 = *Off;   
#Pgmq = 'TSTNONDSPR';
Write Msgctl;        
Exfmt Scrn1;         
*Inlr = *On; 

Output :

FIELD A . . . . . . . .

Rpg Code(Not Working)
Eval *In70 = *On;    
Eval *In60 = *Off;   
#Pgmq = 'TSTNONDSPR';
Write Msgctl;        
Exfmt Scrn1;         
*Inlr = *On; 

Output:

Blank Screen


Please advise

Re: Define Two Non Display Fields in the same positions

Set the indicators at the Field Conditioning level not the field attribute level.

Sorry. What you mean by setting at the field conditioning level?

Thank you

Re: Define Two Non Display Fields in the same positions

try this

A          R SCREEN01                                                          
-------- 1 data records excluded ----------------------------------------------
A  70                             10  2'FIELD A . . . . . . . .'               
A  70        #FIELDA       10   O 10 27                                        
A  60                             10  2'FIELD B......... . . . .'              
A  60        #FIELDB       10   O 10 27

Re: Define Two Non Display Fields in the same positions

You set the indicator on the same line as the field (see the example AS400 Pro posted). In SDA prompt the field and you will see it. It doesn't work via setting the DSPATR for the field because the fields are still active in the record format and the first one specified in the code takes precedence. Setting it at the the field level your you basically turn it on or off for the record format. This is kind of similar to how you would not display things in internal output specs.
