RE: gap in window border -- MIDRANGE-L

Mike,

Can't offer any for sure advice, but I can tell you that you have to leave a couple of characters for
the border of the window itself. In other words, you can't have fields going right up to the border.

I'm sure there's some rules to determine the exact requirements, but I never remember them. <grin>
Trial and error works for me in this instance.

I'd make sure your window is at least 54 characters wide. If that doesn't work, try 56 & 58.

Last thing, are you running iSeries Access or some other emulator? What version?

Charles

Subject: gap in window border

I have a weird problem in a display file that I need some
help with involving a window border.A field inside the window
border is defined as: KIQQX 250 VARLEN(100) I use this in the
display record using the: CNTFLD(050) & WRDWRAP keywords.This
results in 5 lines of 50 characters as a continuous field for
a short text field (wonderful!).Unfortunately the border to
the right hand side of the first 50 bytes shows a gap in the
solid blue: A WDWBORDER((*COLOR BLU) (*DSPATR HI)as does the
border to the left of the second line of the 5 lines. That's
the only place where this occurs. The remaining three lines
have no breaks. I have two colums of blank space between the
end of the 5 lines and the border as well as two columns
between the border and the start of the 5 lines. Is there
more I should be aware of?While I'm at it, is there any web
reference which gives a comprehensive tutorial on how to code
windows? The only article of use I've been able to find is an
MCPRESSONLINE one fro m 1995! Thanks in expectation.Sincere apologies
