RE: Single Page Subfile Example

My understanding is that a single page subfile is just that  -  a single
page.  Every page-up and page down builds a new subfile.  In that case you'd
have no choice but to process the READC lines with every exfmt, unless the
key is a CAnn key.  Any other choice will give unexpected results as you've
discovered. 
 
I am curious  -  wht was the behavior of the program when you inherited it? 
Did it allow more than one page of options to be remembered?

Hello Booth,
 
Thanks for the pointer.Regarding the function keys , what i was trying
to find out is , if i display a screen with a page of records
and say the user presses option 4 for deletion in 3 records and then
presses page down with out hitting enter.In that case , i have to
clear the existing records(Since it is a single Page subfile) and build the
next set of records.Now at this instance , if the 
user presses page up , then the existing records are again cleared and
the old set up records will be displayed.But , i would have
lost the option 4 , that the user would have entered in 3 records.
 
Any work around/sample for that?
 
Thanks and regards
Chandra Sekhar
