Re: Subfile processing question

Are you redisplaying the subfile by using an exfmt (or write and read), to the
subfile control record?
When you fetch the subfile record, how are you fetching it? Are you chaining
with a record number? Or are you doing a readc (i am not certain what the
equivalent is in cobol).
It doesn't sound like you are getting the sfl record on the second try.
On the 2nd read are you testing for 'not found' or ;end of file' on the subfile
read.

In pgmA, I am presenting a subfile with only the OPTION field input-capable.

If user selects a record by keying "5" into the OPTION field, then I call pgmB
to display it.

When control returns to pgmA, I am not able to repeat the above.

I put the pgm into debug, and any record selected from the subfile with an
option 5 does nothing, ie the subfile continues to display and ignores the
option 5.


Its cobol, but don't let that scare you. Should be the same as RPG.

In the SFL pgmA, I am looping thru a READ NEXT MODIFIED to grab the next
changed SFL record.

Using STRDBG, the OPTION field that should contain '5" shows only blank.



When pgmB returns to pgmA, do I have to somehow reset the SFL cursor back to
the top? Or something else?

Thanks in advance!


when key-ENTER-pressed
perform select-entry until EOF-SFL

select-entry.

move link-userID to parm-userID
move SITE of SFLX-o to parm-site
move CSCTYPE of SFLX-o to parm-csctype

evaluate scr-opt of SFLX-o
