    Please forgive me because I'm not really familiar with RSS or where the screen is located. I'm not sure if I have to use the rss_config.xml to hid or make a field required. The problem is I want to make the comment field a required field and I don't even know what the field name is. I suspect this is an attachment field in RQHEADER but how do you reference it as a required field? Thanks for any hlp on this.

      Use the rss_config.xml to hide or add a required field.
      You need to know the name of the field you want to add first.

      As a hint, look at the other fields within rss_config.xml that are required and that will hopefully tell you how you are going to add your field to it, meaning, the syntax of the field name, and from which table.

      Then after that is all done, you have to reload the XML using the RSS utility. Probably do a IOS Cache refresh too would not hurt.

      Hope this helps,

        I think for fields in a table you can reference it by using the prefix-fieldname method just like in cobol. However I think the comments fields in RSS is an attachment like L_HRQH or L_DHQH (REQHEADER). This is not a field but an add-on to the REQHEADER table.

        I don't even think it is possible to make it hidden or required in rss_config.xml. Or is it?

        I just need the field name to reference it. Thanks for any help.

          In L_DRQH try the field named OBJECT -- I haven't done this, but it looks like that is where the actual comment is contained at.
