Hi, If you are relating to a display file, then just type DSPATR(ND) just below the text description of that field. Condition this field with an indicator like for eg :- if *99 is on then Display the field else hide it. Populate this field with your Physical file field. Change the values of the indicator in your program according to your requirement. Thanks Siddharth /////////////////////////////////////////////////// One approach is to hide the fields through a logical file - Physical file is created with all fields - Logical file is created over the physical listing only the fields you want to provide access to. - Physical file may be resricted by security.

Hi,

The non-display attribute is for display files and printer files only. You can code it in a database file (physical or logical) but it will be ignored.
