Re: validate & update of subfile

Is this not related to the used DDS keyword: The display will not refresh
after that keyword becomes active?

What you want is simple to do, as others have stated; I just wrote a
similar pogramme recently, having a total field in the trailer. Reading
through th SFL I use READC.

The only "problem" would be to position the cursor correctly when on the
next page.

With regards,

Some good responses. Thanks. Yes, it is a load-all subfile.

My issues arise when there is an error in a code in column I. I want to

send a subfile message and RI the invalid field(s). That works OK.

However it does not allow a a change in the field in the Control Record,

so far as I can see?

You would need to load ALL the data and then just PRIOR to the exfmt,

read ALL the subfile records (by rrn) from beginning to end to accumulate

column
II, storing this value in the control record.
Then perform this routine AGAIN AFTER the EXFMT to re-accumulate column

2.

If this is different than the one before, loop back to the EXFMT with

the SFLMSG

I realize that the program will be a little more complicated than that,

but that's the basic logic

I decided to ask here.

I have a subfile with two editable columns.
I wish to validate that each code in column I is valid.
I wish to total the numeric values in column II and display the total

of

column II in a field on the Control Record

If the user keys an invalid code in column I _and_ changes values in

column II I would like to issue a SFLMSG, highlight the erroneous field,

_and_ change the column II total on the Control Record.
