If I were to do what I think you're describing, I would put a computed text field on page 2 as an IG variable:
xx.variable.name DAT=FREE LEN=20 VAL=1 (that VAL statement is simply a placeholder value) Then I would create another computed field: xx.header thus: xx.header DAT=FREE LEN=20 JFY=C VAL=c.xx.variable.name And would place it on the report picture in the header region in question.

I would like to build a select computed field that allows me to enter a custom message to the user that would be placed at the top of the report...this would be a free text field similar to a CDS "E" type query. Right now, I am building the message directly on the report picture. I am not sure if this is even possible to do, because I know that in select fields used with the LI or CO operator, the cursor leaves that field after the last response has been entered. However, I know that the <Esc> key can be pressed to exit an "E" type query. I just wanted to post in case someone has come across this issue and found a solution. Any replies regarding this are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jay Gilmore Systems Analyst Crisp Regional Hospital (229) 276-3173 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
