RE: subfile processing: SFLSIZ=SFLPAG (was: readc & sflnxtchg)

I prefer to make SFLSIZ one greater than SFLPAG.  Even though I load the
subfile one page at a time, I can load subsequent pages while retaining
previous pages in the subfile.  This reduces programming time in that I
don't have to control the ROLLDOWN function.  If I recall correctly, you
lose this benefit if SFLSIZ is equal to SFLPAG.

By the way, I rather thought the limitation on subfiles was 9,999 records.
Has this changed?

I like using SFLSIZ = SFLPAG.  Although I haven't coded any -new- programs
using the technique in a while, here's what I remember:

(ie no long waits to load 37,432 records into a subfile).
