If the CUSTNAME field has usage "B" = both, how can I suppress the
underline for DISPLAY?

(There is no DSPATR for removing the underlines).

I thought that CHGINPDFT might do the trick. However I cannot
condition that on the mode DISPLAY or UPDATE.

Is the best method to describe each field twice?

No, do not describe each field twice. Here are a couple of actual
field definition which I use to do just what you want. Turn 41 and 42 on
for updatable fields and turn them off for display-only fields.
