I like to use an ASCII text generator to create the headings for programs.

For example: http://martinvt.com/Tools/Figlet/figlet.html

Originally I opened the DDS with SDA and pasted the generated text into the DSPF. Currently I am defining a CNTFLD and loading that field in the RPG program and using an array at the bottom of the specs to paste the ASCII text. Both methods have limitations. Hence the question:

In your opinion is there a better way to do this?
