Dspfil function problem on Synon

[Kevin Z]

I define a DSPFIL function in Synon. On Screen, I define an input
field. I want only display the records which exactly match the value in
the input field.

I can define input field (key field) as output and map. But it works as
positive parameter. if I define input field as RST,when I generate it,
I receive an error.

How to solve this problem?

You can only RST key fields.

Here is how I select on key fields.

I do my own case statement and compare the CTL to the DB1 if ne *move *no to
*select record.

If it is a large file I use a RTVOBJ over the same access path as the DSPFIL
with POS keys using a high value so it positions to the end of the file so
it does not read a bunch of records it does not have to.

Put the RTVOBJ inside the case statement.
