Suppress )MODEL input on initial display

[Donald Johnson]

Hello! I have a panel with static data entered at the top, and depending on
the processing option, a MODEL section below.

On my initial display, I can set the attributes of the model fields to
non-display, but I would like to be able to skip the selection field, too. I
have tried changing the .ATTR on the field from type(input) to type(text),
but that is not allowed, nor is changing the type value on the .ATTRCHAR
statement.

Is there a way to not have input fields in the MODEL until I actually
perform my TBDISPL?

Thanks!
Don

Try changing the field from INPUT to OUTPUT.

I can do that, but how do I change the attribute back to input so the user
can Select the item when I do the TBDISPL?

Use a variable to define the field; e.g:

@ TYPE(&INOROUT) COLOR(RED)

In your program, initially set the variable to OUTPUT. Just before you do the TBDISPL, change it to INPUT.

I think the suggestion was to use .ATTR function to change field to
OUTPUT. And you can set it based on some condition.

Thanks, Dave - I had forgotten about being able to use variables for the
Attributes parameters. It works like a champ!
