The program wouldn't happen to be doing an EXFMT of the display record
after a WRITE of the subfile would it?  Or are you doing "page at a
time" processing and not enabling the roll keys?

Here's a code snippet of a typical program we use:

      C                     WRITEXGWRKHDR                   Write
headings          
      C                     WRITECMDDSP                     Write Fxx
text          
      C                     WRITEERRCTL                     Write error
msg         
      C* Execute subfile
format                                                           
     
C*                                                                            
      C           XGBTM#    COMP *ZEROS               96    DSP
SFL                 
      C                     SETON                     97    DSP
SFLCTL              
      C  N96                WRITEXGWRKNUL                   EMPTY
SFL               
      C                     EXFMTXGWRKCTL              
90                          
      C                     SETOF                    
9697                          
     
C*
