Subject: RE: Subfile size equals page size. SFLEND(*MORE) and eof -- MIDRANGE-L

Everything I've seen is some variation of read one extra record.

Realistically, that's the only way of finding the EOF when you don't know how many records are there. In other words, you could get the record count of the file and keep track of how many you've displayed.

True if you're not doing a READE or any kind of filtering in the program itself. For instance if you had a Subfile of Order Items and were doing a Read by Order Number, knowing the number of records in the file is useless. Maybe a quick SQL, like:

    Select Count(*) as LineCount from Orders Where Ordno = 100

and then when the number of Records you've added to the SFL equals LineCount, turn on SFLEND.

But most apps don't go through that much trouble.

This code will work as well and it's not necessary to do any extra reads:

C S0MoreData Begsr c* c Eval D2Rno = v2LastRno c If D2Rno = 0 If it's first SFL Record c FFKy01 ReadE AurfAU01L c Endif c Eval V1PageCt = 0 c* c Dow V1pageCt < V1PageSize c And Not %EOF(AuLfAU01) c If Not %EOF(AuLfAU01) c Eval V1pageCt = V1PageCt + 1 Increment Page Ct c Eval D2Rno = D2Rno + 1 Increment SLF rrn c Eval *IN37 = *On SFL Display c Exsr S0MovFlds Move File Flds to SFL Fields c Write FSfl c Endif c FFKy01 ReadE AurfAU01L c Enddo c* c If %EOF(AuLfAU01) c Eval *In38 = *On Turn on SFLEND c Endif c* c* c X0MoreData Tag c Eval v2LastRno = D2Rno c* c Endsr

The above code ain't guarnteed but it is from a working program and I tested the situation where total records read = SFLPAGE. There is a SETLL that's not shown in another Subroutine that's called when the Selection Criteria changes.
