Re: Subfile programming 101 problem with load all subfile

When you build the subfile you have the RRN with each write. When you have fully loaded the subfile Z-ADD the RRN value to NBRREC.

A SFLSIZ(&NBRREC)
A NBRREC 5S 0P
....
C eval NBRREC = RRN

This way the subfile size is always accurate.

(By the way, if you want to see how the scroll bar works on the file and you have 3 columns empty on the right side just add the keyword *SCRBAR in front of whatever you have for SFLEND - it is a one-word change and you can try it out easy-peasey.

A 91 SFLEND(*SCRBAR *MORE)

Hi Booth
as far as "(13 records/page means 200 clicks to get to the end of the file"
I agree with you that this would be unusable that is why I ALWAYS include a position to portion to ALL my subfiles (page at a time, or load all sub files)

I have always wondered about using a scrollbar, but you specify that SFLSIZ must be the actual subfile size
What do you do if the subfile size is CONTINUOSLY changing (thru adding and deleting records)
