I just want to know the better way of desiging that. The user said they dont want a main screen like to select an option 1, 2, 3, etc to avoid back and forth. So, I thought of designing subfile like the one at the bottom, which displays the existing records and input fields to enter new record. If they want to update they just go and overwrite on the respective record. If they want to delete, they press F4 and a Screen 2: will diplay with protect *On. If they select few records to delete, the selected records will be displayed again as OUTPUT , and Confirmation is asked to delete. Any suggestion to better of way doing this.
