I probably wouldn’t have a ‘Print’ field at all. I’d probably do something like ‘F6=Print’.

Or Protect the Print (Y/N) entry field with DSPATR(PR)
After the user indicates advance (Function Key / Enter)
Protect the other fields and unprotect the Print(Y/N) field

Put the Print(Y/N) in the footer record .. when processing returns read the footer record to get that value.

Have you considered a separate display format containing the Print: _ (Y/N) and displaying beneath the subfile?

I agree with you Tom,as i have 2 different record formats here FLDCSRPRG will not work.
But i am not finding any way out.

I doubt if FLDCSRPRG is going to help. The control record fields and the subfile fields are in different record formats. FLDCSRPRG must specify a field in the same record as the keyword. Besides, FLDCSRPRG can’t be used in a subfile.

If FLDCSRPRG worked from the control record to jump into the first subfile row, how would FLDCSRPRG be specified for the subfile row? Would it point to the next subfile row? Or would it point back to a control record field?
