For instance if you need the user to input a part number and a customer number, simply code the following and and then keep writing the RDML program logic:REQUEST FIELDS(#PARTNO #CUSTNO)
 

          REQUEST FIELDS(#PARTNO #CUSTNO)

What is initially important is that the user inputs the required information and that the program works correctly. The location of the information can be easily changed when the program is complete and functions correctly.

  • The same idea applies to defining report lines. Think of what is to be printed on the line, NOT where it is to be printed. For instance, if your report heading must include the date, time, company name and page number, then just code:
          DEF_

HEAD NAME(#HEAD01)

...

 FIELDS(#DATE #TIME #COMPANY #REP1PAGE)

..and keep on going. The detailed positioning of this information can be performed later when the rest of the program has been coded and tested.
