Subject: Re: subfile with footer question

Would

Write FOOTER
Exfmt SFLCTL
Read FOOTER

be the solution?

I'm changing a local application to have a user input field on a
"screen" made up of a Subfile and Subfile Control, a "footer" record
that overlays the area beneath the subfile and above the MSGCTL/MSGSFL

This application is used at month end to allow a user to process a list of business units.

The change is to allow the user to run a summary report after all
business units in the Subfile/Subfile Control area have been processed.

At this point I have changed the "footer" record to display the report
option after all business units in the main subfile have been
processed (using an indicator to toggle DSPATR(HI UL) / DSPATR(ND), but now I want to read that record to get the user's input to the new report option, and I'm wondering if I can simply use a CHAIN ?

I don't think I want to EXFMT the "footer" because I think that will make the user interface more "clumsy" ?
