RPGLE DSPATR(PR) situation

[Peter864]

Hi, I have an indicator 81/ N81 set for DSPATR(PR) and DSPATR(UL) respectively in my display file record to protect some fields based on some condition. Now based on a different condition, I want to protect only 1 of the fields.

If <condition1>
Protect fld1, fld2, fld3,.... By setting *in81 to on
Endif
If <condition2>
Protect only fld2
Endif

Please help, if there is a way to achieve the condition2.

If you add a second indicator to fld2 declaration in the display file, you can use an OR statement. The definition is over two lines, this will protect if either 81 or 82 is on.

     A  81
     AO 82                               DSPATR(PR)
