<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="dfseq.htm">Positional entries for display files (positions 1 through 7)</a></strong><br />
Use this topic to specify positions 1 through 7.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="pos716.htm">Conditioning for display files (positions 7 through 16)</a></strong><br />
Positions 7 through 16 are a multiple-field area in which you can specify option indicators.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakcconditionfield.htm">Conditioning a field for more than one keyword</a></strong><br />
If you are conditioning a field, the field name (or the constant) and the last (or only) indicator must be on the same line.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="pos17.htm">Type of name or specification for display files (position 17)</a></strong><br />
You can specify a value in this position to identify the type of name in positions 19 through 28.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="pos18.htm">Reserved for display files (position 18)</a></strong><br />
This position does not apply to any file type. Leave this position blank unless you use it for comment text.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="pos1928.htm">Name for display files (positions 19 through 28)</a></strong><br />
Use these positions to specify record format names and field names.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakcmstpos29.htm">Reference for display files (position 29)</a></strong><br />
You can specify R in this position to use the reference function
of the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> operating
system to copy the attributes of a previously defined named field (called
the <dfn class="term">referenced field</dfn>) to the field you are defining.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="pos3034.htm">Length for display files (positions 30 through 34)</a></strong><br />
You must specify a length for each named field unless you are copying the length from a referenced field.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakcmstdfdt.htm">Data type/keyboard shift for display files (position 35)</a></strong><br />
The entry you make in position 35 is the data type/keyboard shift attribute for display files.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="pos3637.htm">Decimal positions for display files (positions 36 and 37)</a></strong><br />
You use these positions to specify the decimal placement within a zoned decimal field and also to specify the data type of the field as it appears in your program.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="pos38.htm">Usage for display files (position 38)</a></strong><br />
Use this position to specify that a named field is an output-only, input-only, input/output (both), hidden, program-to-system, or message field.</li>
