Should also add that a 200-char field can display fine in a subfile. It’s not actually necessary to break it up for separate lines. To be really useful, the SFLFOLD or SFLDROP keywords are handy.

I wonder if CNTFLD and WRDWRAP work in subfiles? From the i 7.1 DDS Reference:

The field containing the CNTFLD keyword must be defined as an input-capable field with the data type A. It cannot be defined in a subfile.

No, they can't. Tom

The SFLFOLD keyword (or SFLDROP, depending on exactly how it’s wanted to work) should work fine for output fields in a subfile. It’ll take some practice on the input side for a 200-char field. (I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want to make it work for input in a subfile record.)

Also, this would be a candidate for a DSPSIZ( 27 132 *DS4 ) display file.

This display file feature may help:
SFLFOLD (Subfile Fold) keyword for display files
You use this record-level keyword on the subfile-control record format to assign a command attention (CA) key or a command function (CF) key that the workstation user can press to truncate or fold subfile records that require more than one display line. The format of the keyword is: SFLFOLD(CAnn | CFnn)
