This is a head-scratcher. Can't see why an RMS file would make the difference over RDB--it must be something else.
I'd like to see your screen statement as well, but just out of curiosity, what happens when you change the "skip to 20" to a relative position such as "skip 2".
Cheers,
Vicki

You will note that exactly 512 bytes of the 10,76 are being used... I am mystified as we have an exact copy running that uses a 2040 byte field (scrolling, i.e.) and an Rdb Table- scrolls backward and forward like a charm. What is wrong?
Many thanks for all your posts fellow listers:

I would look at the ELEMENT definition in the dictionary. Possible that the ELEMENT is 512 characters but the FIELD on your file is 2046.

Greetings, Powerhouse-l 'ers
?
I have a field 2046 characters in length on an RMS file and I just wish to populate the first (say) 760 characters on a screen thusly:
?
FIELD BR_STATEMENT OF BUSINESS_RULES_DTL &
FOR 10,76
?
?
Well, try as I may I get exactly 512 bytes when I enter data (no >> or << to indicate next screen or previous) and the cursor just refuses to go any further. Stops, same on changemode....
?
I cribbed liberally from an existing screen has a 2040 field that is 16, 76 and it works like a proverbial charm. Now it IS an Rdb table but it's still just a column/field and it scrolls perfectly.
?
Confused in RI....
?
Appreciate any and all hints- am I missing something obvious or is there an inherent limitation for a character field from an RMS file I'm not aware of?
?
Driving me batty...
?
Tks again!
