subject: Re: Window Subfile

...it looks like you can only set/change that at SDA record creation time....

Not totally true! I have edited DDS source in SEU and changed a record to a window numerous times in order to convert a record to a window (and vice versa). You must, however, get the correct keyword(s) added for the window size, and make sure that your fields don't exceed those bounds. Conversely, you should remove the window-specific keywords if you change a window to a record. I typically do this with a copy/paste from another window or record in the same file that I want to make this one like and just correct the name. Of course, if you are working with subfiles, the record definitions absolutely must be placed in the proper order in the DDS.

If, however, you are referring to the idea that you can only 'get to that screen' at SDA record creation time...well...you would indeed appear to be correct! ^_^
