Re: Subfile programming 101 problem with load all subfile

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When you build the subfile you have the RRN with each write.  When you 
have fully loaded the subfile Z-ADD the RRN value to NBRREC.

     A                                  SFLSIZ(&NBRREC)
     A        NBRREC         5S 0P
....
     C              eval      NBRREC = RRN

This way the subfile size is always accurate.

(By the way, if you want to see how the scroll bar works on the file and 
you have 3 columns empty on the right side just add the keyword *SCRBAR 
in front of whatever you have for SFLEND -  it is a one-word change and 
you can try it out easy-peasey.

     A  91              SFLEND(*SCRBAR *MORE)
