RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: Tabbing to a DDS output field

Thanks Joe
Did NOT see that (the proverbial could not see the wood for the trees)

I now see what you mean
Close but no cigar as I do know that our users, use the field exit screen

It's the "I" in position 35, Alan. That inhibits input.  You have "A" in position.

Try this:

     A            TABBY 10I  B  5 20
     A  99N99                               DSPATR(UL)

This will create a 10-character field that they can tab to but will not allow data entry.  It's not perfect.  For some odd reason, they can still hit the field exit key to clear the field.  But it's the closest thing I've found to date.

Hi everyone
Before I forget - we are on V7r3

I have an existing DDS screen, that has a number of fields being
displayed - output I have the need to be able to tab to one or 2 of
those fields - so unless someone knows of another way - I will need
to make those fields output or both (input and output) but if I do make that change, I don't want the user to have the ability to update those fields I hope that makes SOME sense Anyone know how I can accomplish this?
As always - ALL answers gratefully accepted
