Re: Emulate IBM's PDM list selections?

["Mike Naughton" <mnaughton@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We do something similar, except we only use it for the "delete" option.
But the method is basically the same -- read through the original subfile,
filling a second subfile with the records you want to display; then when
you're done, display the second subfile and do what you want to do.
