Re: subfile with footer question

I'm changing a local application to have a user input field on a "screen"
made up of a Subfile and Subfile Control,
a "footer" record that overlays the area beneath the subfile and above the
MSGCTL/MSGSFL

This application is used at month end to allow a user to process a list of
business units.

The change is to allow the user to run a summary report after all business
units in the Subfile/Subfile Control
area have been processed.

At this point I have changed the "footer" record to display the report
option after all business units in the main
subfile have been processed (using an indicator to toggle DSPATR(HI UL) /
DSPATR(ND), but now I want to read
that record to get the user's input to the new report option, and I'm
wondering if I can simply use a CHAIN ?

I don't think I want to EXFMT the "footer" because I think that will make
the user interface more "clumsy" ?
