IBM Power Ideas Portal
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
Shape the future of IBM!
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Search existing ideas
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post your ideas
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

BM does not intend to provide a solution to this request at this time, so it is being closed.
It is in the same category as the following request:
"Program to System Field (P-Field) To Include Position Cursor"
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=100386
I woulld suggest to do it in a professional way to solve all this kind of stuff:
With the introduction of multilevel qualified data structures it is possible.
All DDS display featres and attribues will become variables of qualified data structures:
And in order to make sure 100% that there is no contradiction with any existing names in the program, it will begin with an asteric(*)
Example:
*DSPF.MYDSP.MYDSPFMT1.MYFLD1.ATR_RI
*DSPF.MYDSP.MYDSPFMT1.MYFLD1.ATR_UL
*DSPF.MYDSP.MYDSPFMT1.MYFLD1.COLOR_YLW
*DSPF.MYDSP.MYDSPFMT1.MYFLD1.ATR_PC
*DSPF.MYDSP.MYCTL1.SFLCLR
*DSPF.MYDSP.MYCTL1.SFLPAG
*DSPF.MYDSP.MYCTL1.SFLSIZ
If *DSPF.MYDSP.MYCTL1.SFLPAG = *DSPF.MYDSP.MYCTL1.SFLSIZ; // * if SFLSIZ = SFLPAG.
*DSPF.MYDSP.MYDSPFMT1.MYFLD1.ATR_PC = *ON; // Set on Position Cursor attribue in dispaly file MYDSP, format MYDSPFMT1, field MYFLD1.
*DSPF.MYDSP.MYDSPFMT1.MYFLD1.COLOR_YLW = *ON; // Set on Color Yellow attribue in dispaly file MYDSP, format MYDSPFMT1, field MYFLD1.
*DSPF.MYDSP.MYCTL1.SFLCLR = *on // Set on SFLCLR attribute in dispaly file MYDSP, Subfile control record MYCTL1.
or preferably: SFILE(recformat:rrnfield:sflpage:sflsize)
Hello,
good idea. I think it would be better like this:
A CTLRR1 4S 0H SFLRCDNBR
An other option is a Hidden field and use it like:
A SFLSIZ(&FIELD1)
A SFLPAG(&FIELD2)
A FIELD1 5S 0H
A FIELD2 5S 0H
