Dennis,
If you did have AS/SET generated programs that worked in this way, it is
because the developer(s) did not use subfile functionality within AS/SET
and instead actually developed this nightmare using AS/SET. Not the
fault of AS/SET.
I have been working with AS/SET for over 10 years. The BPCS ERP
application was developed using AS/SET from BPCS V5 - V8.2. All BPCS
subfile inquiry programs (100s) are true subfile programs.
If you so wish, AS/SET even has the functionality to generate the
required inquiry/maintenance programs for a given file. The generated
inquiry program is a subfile displaying the file records, with action
codes (1=Create, 2=Revise, 3=Copy, 4=Delete, 5=Display, 6=Print,
8=Position-to), the relevant CRUD actions linking to the maintenance
panel for the record.

AS/SET does create subfiles. Always has done.
There aren't any recent revisions as AS/SET has now been dropped by
Infor. The latest version came out in 2003, I think ?
I can't imagine how you could use AS/SET and generate 'subfiles'
programs/displays that have individual fields defined rather than a
true
subfile. That would be a nightmare.
Hmmm... On a recent contract, I worked with AS/SET programs, and they
were
as I described. I'll see if I can get more information. "Nightmare" is
an
apt description of whatever it was.
