Why do a position-to when sql offers "like" so you can easily use wildcard filters to provide human-scale load-all subfiles, even with huge files?
Specifically _because_ underlying PF data may change you, as the designer, can build in frequent refreshes so that users don't page around in hours-old data.
Load-all subfile programs are around 200 lines of code, easy to reuse. (I have a 2-column load-all subfile program with 235 lines. It includes wildcard filtering on either or both columns, and either column may be sorted in ascending or descending order. 235 lines including headings and comments.

Because data in the underlying PF can change and completely reloading even so often seems to me a waste of resources.
Because if you have one paged-SFL coded properly, it's relatively easy to reuse that code for another SFL.
