Re: Variable start & size for subfile?

[boothm@xxxxxxx]

Why not one subfile with two screen formats?   Set pagesize with a flag in
the program to process the correct number of records if you do a page at a
time subfile.  If the file has fewer than 2,000 records fill the subfile
and set a scroll bar.   Use the flag to exfmt the long or short format.
