Ok.  I'm working on a "generic" control file maintenance program using
DSM.  The source members are as follows:

In the KRCONTROL file there is a variable called VALUE.  This value can
contain many different layouts depending on the record type.  The
KRRCDTYP file contains the valid record types, "subfield" definitions,
etc.  What I'm trying to accomplish is to use DSM to build a dynamic
screen based on the definition in the KRRCDTYP file to maintain the data
stored in the KRCONTROL file.  The DSM screen build works fine but I'm
running into some issues with extracting the data received back for
updating/inserting records.  If I get this crap working I'm going to
open source this freaking thing.  If anyone wants to help me out with
some of this stuff I'd really appreciate it.  If I can't get this to
work then we'll be adding new screen formats every time we need to add a
new record type, which I'd prefer not to do (I feel it's easier to add a
new record set in a file than to have to maintain a mainteenance program
& display...

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Thanks,
