I believe you'll need to use the SFLLIN keyword. Look at the DDS reference: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...rzakcmst06.htm Terry

Ditto. Here's the basic description and use of SFLLIN... SFLLIN (Subfile Line) keyword for display files You use this record-level keyword on the subfile-control record format to specify that the subfile is to be displayed as a horizontal subfile. The subfile has more than one column of records displayed. The format of the keyword is: SFLLIN(spaces)The parameter value specifies the number of spaces (including attribute characters) between columns of records. For example, specifying the SFLLIN keyword causes a subfile of four records to be displayed as: REC1 REC3 REC2 REC4 If SFLLIN is not specified, these records appear as: REC1 REC2 REC3 REC4 If the subfile record format contains field selection, this keyword is not valid. To use SFLLIN for secondary display sizes, specify a SFLLIN keyword with a display size condition name for each secondary display size. Because the SFLPAG keyword specifies the number of subfile records that can be displayed at a single time, you must consider SFLLIN when specifying the SFLPAG value. SFLLIN is not valid for a message subfile. Option indicators are not valid for this keyword. Example The following example shows how to specify the SFLLIN keyword. Columns of subfile records appear five spaces apart. |...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5 ....+....6....+....7....+....8 00010A R SFLR SFL A* A* (at least one displayable field) A* 00040A R SFLCTLR SFLCTL(SFLR) 00050A SFLPAG(17) 00060A SFLSIZ(17) 00070A SFLDSP SFLDSPCTL 00080A SFLLIN(5) A
