Re: Determine SFLSIZ/SFLPAG

 
In a similar situation Tom I defined a  program-to-system field and filled
it with a hard coded value at *INZSR time.  Then instead of the hard-coded
SFLPAG size I could use the defined field.  I could also use this value to
define the position-to and the page-before requirements.  Then of course the
DDS says SFLPAG(&PAGESIZE).  It was very useful when building the
applications in the first place because addind or removing lines otherwise
was a real exercise in needle-in-the-haystack programming.

Yep, you got it it. Although I can handle the API okay, I was just hoping
someone knew some details of an INFDS or an obscure DDS or F-spec keyword
that would bring the info into the program. It just seems that an external
file description should make this available.
 
I'm looking at an existing program that has some 'Position to...' logic for
a subfile. It relies on a literal value for subfile lines per page. I made
changes to the DDS that reduced the subfile lines by one per page and need
to make the corresponding change in the program before recompiling.
 
It shouldn't be necessary. I should be able to recompile with no program
code change and 'Position to...' should still work, if the program is
written correctly in the first place.
 
It looks like the API is the only choice.
