AS/400 vs. VMS

[Deskin, Bob]

Don't have my manuals in front of me, but I think if you check you'll find
that AS/400 assumes panel processing and NOID. You should be able to
override the NOID using the ID option. Check the manual fro the suboptions
you need. Hopefully you can use the same code on OpenVMS even if it's not
needed.

By the way, the AS/400 code is somewhat different because it was oriented
towards the needs of that machine and CUA.

Hi all,

I'm having a slight problem with an AS/400 / VMS discrepancy

I have the following code (sorta):

>
>screen SCREENA
>
>file FILEA primary occurs 5
>
>define D_STRING char*30 = ELEMENT1 of FILEA + ELEMENT2 of FILEA
>
>cluster occurs with FILEA
>
>align (1,,5)(,,36)(,,47)
>field D_STRING
>field ELEMENT3 of FILEA display
>field ELEMENT4 of FILEA
>
>align (,,5)(,,10)(,,24)
>field ELEMENT5 of FILEA display
>field ELEMENT6 of FILEA display
>
>cluster

The problem I'm having is that when I compile this code on the AS/400
(PH 6.07.F), I don't get any ID numbers. But when I compile the exact
same code on VMS (PH 8.10.C2),  my ID numbers reappear.  Now, I was able
to get them back on the AS/400 by changing my define to a temporary, but
I'd prefer not doing this and having to reload my temporary every time I
do a GET. 

Anyone have any ideas?
