Hi,

can any one let me know the possibilities of creating dynamic fields in panels

i need to get the input in first screen say aaa and search in a file for aaa present and if present take out all its corresponding fileds in the file and throw it in the next panel. The input will be like
aaa bbb ccc

so in the next panels i should throw all these and allow the user to select one of these option bbb or cccc. This may vary like bbb ccc ddd based on the input so i need to optimize the screen accordingly and design a screen like that
how is this possible

Thanks & Regards,
Vidya

Use an ISPF table, and build the screen accordingly.

There is a link to the relevent manuals posted as a sticky on the forum.

Create the different panels with required options and call them depends on the input/ retrievals.

Also, you can use .ATTR & .ATTRCHAR to dynamically change the attributes of fields (that is - you can define the maximum number of fields as non-displayable, and then show only the fields you need).
