On the F7, you can change the records returned.
On the F18, you cant...

Me like the feature....

Subject: WRKDBF's "F7=Select Record" function

I am seriously considering removing the "F7=Select Records" functionality of
WRKDBF and have been for a long time. With the vastly superior "F18=SQL"
functionality it is basically obsolete in my opinion. The scan limit (which
defaults to 5000 records read) often reads too few records to fill up a
subfile page, which in turn confuses the user into thinking they're looking
at all the selected records. Not. I personally never press F7 - ever.

But I don't want to mess up people if it is an often-used function. So what
say you? Can I remove without causing too many issues?

Bill
