Kurt,

Your window keyword in the WDWCTL record seems to be wrong if I
understand it correctly.  You need a full definition of the window in
this control records and a reference to it in the WDW record. The error
you are probably getting is no such window on the screen or something
like that.  That means you haven't written the foundation record to the
screen first.  After that you can write any or all records that use the
foundation record as a reference.  Here is the way that I usually code a
window with an error message line:

The foundation window must be written to the screen first or you will
get a window not found error.

Subject: Processing... Please Wait... But with a subfile

I just read the thread about informing the user that processing is
occurring.  My options include sndpgmmsg or issuing a Write (w/FrcDta
keyword on record format).   I want to go with the latter, and I'm
looking to do a little bit more.  I'd like to display a subfile as it's
being built w/o waiting for the user.  Essentially the user would see
the 'processing...' message above the subfile column headings, but would
also see any exception messages pop up at the same time.   At the end,
the window footer would display command keys appropriate to the result
of the processing.
 
My window is as such:
 
 * subfile
A R WdwSfl
 
 * subfile control (header)
A R WdwCtl    SflCtl( WdwSfl )
A                   Window(Wdw)
A                   FrcDta
A    96            SflDsp
A  N98            SflDspCtl
A    98            SflClr
A    96            SflEnd( *ScrBar )
 
 * window definition (footer)
A R Wdw
 
In the code:
// build record to write to subfile
SflClr = *Off               (in98)
WdwSflDsp = *On;     (in96)
WdwRRN += 1;
Write WdwSfl;
Write WdwCtl;    <------- error
Write Wdw;
 
If I remove the error statement, I only get a window (subfile is not
displayed).
 
Thanks,
