The limit used to be 9999 records in a subfile.  It may have been
increased, but I'm not sure.  Loading 30,000 records into a subfile will
take a long time.  When I have a lot of records to load into a subfile,
I usually load a few pages, then wait until the user presses page down
(or rollup) then load a few more pages, and set the SFLRCDNBR keyword to
display the new records.  Hope this helps.
