    I have a custom header/detail inquiry form, and I have a row of static text that appears fine in LID, but does not appear in Portal.  The form compiles without errors, and I've tried deleting the XML and using scrgen to regenerate it without success.  I've also cleared my IE cache and IOS cache without success.

    What am I missing???

    Attached are the LID and Portal screenshots, as well as my .scr (renamed as .txt)


    Thanks for your help!  Kelly

      I've resolved the problem - though I don't understand why this solution works. 

      I simply added a one-character output-only field at the end of the text line (and in the $TRANS section as field "EMPTY") and then recompiled and did an IOS Cache Refresh and it worked perfectly.

      Being a person who hates "junky" code, adding an empty field to make this work kills me....  Oh well - it's working!

        I found the definition of $SCREEN section where the screen static text is painted a little odd. The static text usually must be preceded with "|" . For example it ought to be
        "| Company " and not "Company |"

        May be this works too for LID, but I think the portal XML needs the "|" to translate the labels. Worth a try.

          I noticed that you are on Landmark, and we are not. Is this the recommended syntax for that technology ?
