Re: Problem with readc

For READC:
Add a new field, such as "ACTION" and when F8 is chosen, make the value of ACTION = 'F8ON'.

Then on the next cycle you can check to see if ACTION = 'F8ON'. If it is on, use the new values to update your record. Also, don't forget to make ACTION = " ".

I prefer to not use READC because of this and similar issues.
I add a hidden field to the subfile record which is a data structure of all the data fields. Then when I process the subfile, I read every subfile record and compare contents to the original values in the data structure and make the needed changes.
