RE: RPG Program and Display file interaction

Thanks Mike.  I have tried that with mixed results.  Because of the SFLDROP
keyword, the screen always displays in drop mode, even though I try to use
condition indicators to force it not to.  Also, although I'm using
SFLRCDNBR, when I do just the write, it always shows the first page of the
subfile.  But, the message did go away!

not that I know of

one way is to do a write of the subfile control record just before
your exfmt of window format.
