Bordering Display File Fields

[jsplice]

Hello everyone. I have a display file and in the header I need to have 2 fields border each other. The first field which is in the top left corner of the screen holds the program name, and the field following that one for the remained of the first line is the program title, user name, etc. This whole line is in a reverse image, so they need to border each other so that there is no break in the reverse image. However, I'm noticing that if the fields are lined up right next to each other, only one of them will display. Is there a way to get two fields to border each other and both be displayed?

In a word, no. One byte before a field is reserved for the acreen attribute. Your only remedy is to combine these fields in your program.

Flapeyre is right. AFAIK the only way is to combine or concatenate the relevant fields in a single variable long enough to accomodate them all and to display it on the screen.

MyVar = %trim(ProgramName) + %trim(ProgramTitle) + %trim(UserName) + ...
