I have a .per in which I want to use a display array statment (or the likes of). Basically what I want to do is have 10 rows but only show the itemdesc once. So that as they move down thru the rows, the itemdesc will display the description for each row of info. However I am not sure if this is possible. I tried it but the compile failed. The program works ok if there are 10 itemdesc(s) listed. Below is an example .per Please reply direct, if it is possible. I will summarize.
