        Hi,
        In a subfile I have, I allow the entry of a "Position to ......

        __________' field,
        similar to how SEU works.  When an entry is made that 
        positions the subfile beyond any recs in the file, such as a
cust # of all
        9's,
        I want to display a blank subfile.  So far I:
                1: turn *ON SFLCLR
                2: WRITE CTLREC
                3: turn *OFF SFLCLR
                4: since 0 recs were written to the subfile, SFLDSP is
*OFF
                5: SFLDSPCTL is always *ON
                6: EXFMT SUBFILE
        This just displays the same subfile that was displayed before
the
        "Position to" entry was processed.  I understand that SFLCLR
doesn't
        actually clear the subfile, rather it just makes all the recs
inactive.
        How do I get the subfile to appear blank?

        TIA!
        Dave
