Strange!
I happen to be using RDP 8.5, and it DOES NOT work, as I mentioned...
Went back to RDP 8.0.3, and it worked perfectly fine!!!
Have I ever mentioned what a @#$!@#$! Crappy release RDP 8.5 was?!?!?
<Rant Rant>
Sadly, that was the release I show a lot of the newbie, once again, no
wonder they said this is NOT Stable. Worked in Previous Release, but
NOT this Release!
How I wish they would get me RDI 9.0

I just took your sample - I'm using 9.0.0.1 - and opened a new DSPF
member. Then I pasted it into the source tab. Went to the design tab,
then clicked on SUBFILE - the window frame was there, along with the
other bits from the CONTRL format.
The subfile is in green, the control is in gray.
I do have the "Draw records transparent" button pressed.
Might be a version difference - or be sure in your RDP to have pressed
that button before showing things off.

Yeah, I click on the source table often for quick edits. Butit is nice to edit with good old LPEX.
sometimes,

I have also experienced this behavior...
There are three tabs at the bottom of the design window, "Design",
noted below, you can only see one item at a time, so you can only look
at the Subfile Control or the Subfile record. Source allows you to
look at the source. You can work on edit changes here as well.
Preview is where you can view the screens together, so here you should
be able to view both the Subfile Control and Subfile records together.
Only difference is that you can't make any edit changes. You would
have to go back to the Design tab to do that.
to make sure you're not overlapping any fields. If I remember, CODE
For me the problem is that you have to go back and forth between the
two
Designer was much more flexible on this. So in my view, I believe
there still is some desired functionality that was in CODE Designer
that's not in DDS Designer. And if I recall right, CODE Designer was
intuitive enough to know when you placed something on the screen as to
which one it belonged to. It also did a better job of edit checking
on the fly; that is, knowing if a name was already in use.
to itself that makes it easier to work on some scenarios. But I
I'm not totally knocking DDS Designer; it does have some features
unique
believe it sets back development a bit when some of the nice features
of CODE Designer didn't make their way to this one.
funny to note RDi still shows it in the "Open with" list...
...and unfortunately, no one here has a copy of CODE anymore...yet
it's
CONTROL or the SUBFILE record, but not both. I checked it in CODE

Ken,
I see what you mean - on 9.0.0.1, Design Screens only shows either
the
Designer (yep, still got the relic loaded), and it works as expected.
Yikes!

Subject: [WDSCI-L] DDS Designer Window subfile
Hi,
Using SDA for a subfile, window. I see the subfile inside the window!
<cool>
But, using the DDS Designer, the subfile is NOT placed in the window!
Inside the DDS Designer the subfile is NOT shown in a window! What is
Am I missing something?
Here is extremely simple code to verify this:
A DSPSIZ(24 80 *NORMAL)
A R SUBFILE SFL
A OPT 1A O 3 2
A TEXT 20A O 3 5
A R CONTROL SFLCTL(SUBFILE)
A SFLDSP
A SFLSIZ( 24)
A SFLPAG(0005)
A WINDOW(2 2 15 30)
A 2 1'opt'
A 2 6'text'
Pardon this dumb down example. But it displays properly inside SDA.
the point of having a Visual Designer, when SDA works. But Ration
Developer cannot display window!
