Re: Back to the wayback machine - who remembers subfiles?

You said "entry fields"

So you must use SFLINZ not SFLCLR.
Also note that the roll keys only work when the cursor is in one of the
subfiles.

>I've got a display file that currently shows two subfiles.  Each has 35
entries, five per line.  They use SFLPAG(35), SFLSIZ(35) and SFLLIN(5).
This sets up a nice array of 35 enterable fields.

handling under the control of the display file.  I can't for the life of me
figure out how to do it.  I tried simply bumping SFLSIZ to 70, but when I do
that, I can't use the roll keys.  So I added the ROLLUP and ROLLDOWN keys,
and, as I expected, hitting a roll key acts in the program as if I hit
enter.  I don't want to return to the program, I simply want to roll back
and forth through the two pages.
