Data in 170 characters long, but I want users to only see 132.

[curioste]

I have a report which it's data is 170 characters long.  The Trigger is 'PAGE:  1' which resides within the first 132.  The Field Definitions are all pulled from data on lines 140-170.  I want the users to only see the report character width 0-132.  Is this what Logical Views is for?

Hi

I guess you could use Logical View and set it as the default view. This should work.
The other thing that you could do is use an overlay.
The width of the overlay should be 132 characters long so the the rest of the data does not appear within the page. You may need to adjust the Sx, Sy, Tx and Ty parameters in the options file.
With logical views you would need to do an extra mapping between the Logical view fields and the database fileds. I think this would affect the performance while retrieving the report.

JD (Justin Derrick) should be able to give you a beter suggestion on this.
