Extra User Fields (Macola ES 9.5)

[vbcoder85]

Is there a way to add additional user fields to a screenset? For instance, item location table has user field 6 - 20, but the IM0201 screen set only has user_def_fld_1 through 5.

Using the screen set designer, I added an special entry field, made it user defined, then later a window popped up stating...

/******************************
[Macola ES:Enter New Fi..][x]
Inserting a field will cause all high
to be increased by one, causing
and Cobol program to be mismat

Use Field ID [133]

[OK] [Cancel]
/*******************************

I could not resize the window and since I couldn't read the entire message, I clicked on the cancel button.

I would use the user defined fields, but we've already used up all 5 of them.

I've searched the customer portal in Macola but have not found any help.

Flexibility may be an option, but I just wanted to keep this simple.

I think flex is the likely only awnser. I thought there was a limmit in cobol of how many controls / fields that could be on the window (something like 133 or 135). I think it is a reason why user defined fields were on a button, new screen equaled a new number of max fields on a form. The OE windows is two pages Header and Line Items.
I tried what you mentioned, but the special field seemed as if it ended up mapping to SalesPerson. I would log a call with Exact, Tori would know this one in about 2 seconds. I haven't added a field other than VBA only in a long long time.

Better do it quick, Tori will be off on Maternity leave any day if she's not off already.
