Re: Setting a subfile record to changed with a function key

Colin:

Besides the SFLCSRRRN which returns the record number on which the
cursor was as mentioned by other list mates,  investigate the SFLNXTCHG
keyword.   This keyword is used in the control format and usually
conditioned with an indicator.   You set on this indicator and update
the record.  Next time you READC the subfile, the record will get picked
up as if the user had done some work on the fields in the record.  This
is useful in checking for error correction on a field.  For example, the
user keys in a wrong data on a field and presses enter, you edit and
send the screen back, the user refuses to change the error and presses
enter again, now you have a problem because READC will skip this record
since there was no change.  But if you used SFLNXTCHG the READC will
pick this record even if the user did not make any changes.  HTH.
