It would help if you could post what it is that is "not working" <p>What exactly happens when<ul><tt> <BR>

Hi Dave <p>All the lines stay green. All I'm trying to do is display the relevant status of a record in a different colour on a search pop-up window. i.e. if the record is active-yellow, if deleted-red. Theoretically simple ;) <p>Regards <p>Kit <p><!--mccodelink_begin--> <BR>

Have you tried setting on the SFLNXTCHG keyword with each write? <p>Dave

Do you have a PUTOVR in the display file? <p>Joe

is it possible that two or more indicators are *on at the same time, and negate each other? <p>also, are you certain the indicators are on when you WRITE EACH record and are then turned off before the next WRITE op? <p>-Sarge

First... thanks for the replies all. <p>Dave.. no - haven't tried, will try. <BR>
Joe... no - should I? none of my others have it but i haven't set them for colour yet but want to. There are about 10 search pgms so far each with a different file and fields. <BR>
Sarge... no - the RPG code above is the only time the ind's are used in the pgm. <p>Regards <p>Kit

I do use colour in another subfile DSPF, but: <BR>
1. it is not in a window <BR>
2. it does not use SFLCHCCTL <BR>
3. it does not have SFLSNGCHC(*RSTCSR) <BR>
4. it only has 1 colour per field <p>regards <p>Kit

Nope, don't use it if you don't need it. PUTOVR was a great feature in the days of slow connection speeds, but it's probably overkill these days. PUTOVR sometimes caused the symptoms you are seeing, but since you don't use it don't worry about it. <p>Joe

I believe I may have found the problem... to cut a long story short... I started changing my DSPF's to use INDARA. However, the program has not been changed to cater for this. The DSPF indicator area then is not set for the colours. <BR>
sidebar... I have noticed some strange when using INDARA with certain other keywords. <p>Regards <p>Kit

I know you got it with the INDARA keyword, but another way to pull it off with less hassle (IMHO) is to use program to system field for these things. <BR>
I have several programs where I do that, instead of using multiple indicators (which, by the way, I also do - no smacking!) <p><!--mccodelink_begin--> <BR>

Hi all, <p>I'm battling to get the colours working in the above/below scenario. Colours work on other files when not in the above combination. Is this normal or am I just not the sharpest knife in the drawer? I've pasted the relevant DSPF formats. (and if anyone tells me I shouldn't be using indacators in display files, I'm gonna smack them :) ) <p>Regards <BR>
