Re: page up/page down issue

One solution I can think of is to edit the keyboard map so that shift-page up/down are mapped to two command keys and then tell the users to page up/down for the subfile, shift page up/down for the paging. Whether mapping the keyboard is an option or not, I don't know.

Another option is to add two push buttons to the window with the subfile, labeled "Next Record" & "Previous Record".

As you no doubt recognize, I believe strongly in our using the stuff IBM gave us including scroll bars, radio buttons, check boxes, and push buttons.

Shows push buttons:

Booth,
There are 2 programs. The initial subfile program which you would select a '5' on a subfile record to display the detail record(via a second program).

The second program depending on the type of record in the subfile will display either a Display File(RECORD) or a Display File(SUBFILE)

If the Display File(RECORD) is displayed, you can press page up/down to show subsequent records(its essentially the same effect as selecting many subfile records at the same time and processing them sequenctially.

However if the Display File(Subfile) is displayed, the page up/down keywords are associated with subfile, so all I can do is page through the subfile, I can't get to the next record. The subfile is a load all subfile, so I don't need the page up/down for the subfile.

I hope I am explaining it better now
