Re: RE : store a generic sub file into a PF

I just went and tried it.  You can externally describe the data structure
as: ExtName(DisplayFile:Format)   There's no need to define the subfile
format in detail.

"Like" keyword doesn't work on datastructures.  The rest of the instructions
should work as shown.

Thank a lot for your answer but I am looking for an other way :
I don't want to describe in detail the DSPF in the program.

Define a data structure with all of the fields. (Would a Like(SFLA)
keyword work on a data strucrure?)
 
Define a standalone field Like(the datastructure).
 
Eval the standalone field = the datastructure.
 
Write the standalone field to array(Inx).
 
At the correct time in your program write the array to your file.

Subject: store a generic sub file into a PF
 
Hi every body,
 
I would like to store in a physical file any sub file used by a
software.
Typically after a press on a function key I would like to substitute any
write in the sub file by a write in a physical file. To have a generic
solution I need to write all of the output buffer in a flat record but I
don?t know the way to capture the output buffer.
Do you have a solution to my need ?
