Re: Read subfile without clearing screen?

The current loop looks like this, with either read setting on
indicator 20 (F20) which toggles SelectSubFile

eval SelectSubFile = *Off
DoW NOT *IN03
  If *IN20
    SelectSubFile = NOT SelectSubFile
  EndIf
  Write SflHeader (from STR002FN)
  Write SflCtl    (From STR002FN)
  Write Str002FM  (Format S1)
  If SelectSubFile
    Read SflCtl (or Read Str002FN or ExFmt SflCtl)
  Else
    Read STR002FM
  EndIf
EndDo

Someone suggested RSTDSP and DFRWRT which I changed RSTDSP to *NO and
it actually worked, but then it broke it when I try to read STR002FM 
instead of STR002FN. Looking at that now.

Jim Langston
