DSPRCD3 Device Function

The Display Record (3 panels) (DSPRCD3) function defines a program that is identical to the Display Record function except that it allows the database record details to extend into three separate display device panels. You can use the scroll keys to move between the panels of details. This function type is suitable to use with files that contain many fields.

The DSPRCD3 function executes in *DISPLAY mode only. There are four display panels associated with this function type: a key panel that prompts for the key values, and three detail panels that display, by default, all of the fields from the based-on access path. On any panel, you can hide the fields that you do not want to appear. In addition, the same field can appear on more than one detail panel.

This panel is used to display a record that has more fields than currently fit into a single panel.

All of the considerations that apply to Display Record also apply to DSPRCD3.
