IBM (if there is an ounce of sense left in their bodies) are not going
to add features to an obsolete technology when all modern interfaces
offer data grids etc. which achieve this much more easily and with
complete User control.

Having lurked on this thread a bit I have to agree with Jon. Why do anything to the 5250 data stream at all? Subfiles are a creature of the System/38 lineage and while they are a fabulous tool they are outmoded except in a 5250 environment. I would rather IBM spend its resources developing APIs that allow the developer to build the view in what ever technology that makes sense for that application be it a browser, PDA, or other semi intelligent device. There are much better technologies available to use than 5250 in today's world.
The larger question here is one of application design. Keep the data
access, control functions, and view functions separate (MVC) and then it
does not matter what the view is in. Besides between Jon, Susan, Paul,
and Scott, and others there have been plenty of examples of how to
accomplish the task.
