RE: What do you do when a subfile has no records?

Almost always I check the archives before asking *duh* questions, but didn't
this time.  A graceful answer is shown there.  Put a conditioning indicator
on SFLDSP and set the indicator on or off, depending on whether or not there
are records.  Very simple, very correct, very *duh* on my part.

Carl Galgano gave that answer in 1997.

I usually initialize the subfile, write a blank record to it, set SFLDSP
to be inactive and where subfile record 1 would be I display a record
format with a single line stating something like "No information
available".
