[Robelle-l] Easy definition question

[Eben Yong]

Try this:

> ACC *DECEASED.FLATFILE
*W* PowerHouse name for DECEASED.FLATFILE is DECEASED.
> SHO ITE

                       INPUT OUTPUT
DECEASED          TYPE SCALE SCALE  DEC PICTURE
* MEMBER#         CHAR                  X(12) ^^^^^^^^^
  YMDDEATH        DATE                  MM/DD/YYYY
  OP#             CHAR                  X(4)
  YMDTRANS        DATE                  MM/DD/YYYY

This should give you some idea of the PICture being used, and then
define your SUPRTOOL elements appropriately.

Subject: [Robelle-l] Easy definition question

I've got a field in a QUIZ subfile defined as 
                 DEF COB-PLAN-1-BAL  NUM*10 = PAT-INS-BAL-1 OF PLAN1
I can see because there is text before it, it starts in Col 11, 
  Other numerics follow it, and I can't seem to see where one ends and
the
other begins.  

Q: How do I define it in Suprtool so I can extract it and play with it?

             I've got : DEFINE COB-BAL-1        ,  11 ,  ?? , PACKED  

I don't know if it IS packed, (I THINK the NUM in QUIZ outputs as
PACKED)
and I'm not sure how long it is. 

Thanks in advance.
