Maybe I don't understand what you're asking, but I've done that lots of
time with RPG, by executing a READC loop with a select or case structure
that branches to a load routine for a new subfile, one for delete, one for
rename, etc. Each load subroutine sets a switch telling the program that it
needs to be displayed, and once the READC loop finishes, the subfile
display subroutines whose switches are set are executed, one by one.
