Re: Subfile Window Problem

What method are you using to clear the subfile screen when you redisplay
it with 'no records found' header? Is there a CLRL keyword on your
display file?

Greetings from sunny Florida.


I am developing an RPG application in which a user can list file data

in a subfile window and I allow the user to delete any values no longer
needed. I can delete any number of records in the subfile window and
the remaining records will be read and redisplayed without a problem.
My issue comes upon the deletion of the last record in the file. As the
last record is being deleted and the window redisplayed, the underlying
base screen vanishes so all I have is a blank screen with a window. I
condition the header literals to display `no records found` and
everything else I have coded seems consistent with what I have done in
the past. I have compiled with screen with RSTDSP *YES, used the
keywords PUTRETAIN, KEEP, ASSUME, OVERLAY and PUTOVR. Nothing seems to
leave the base display intact. This is the first time I have coded a
subfile window to display no records.

What could be causing my base display to vaporize?

Thanks,
