RE: RPG/SDA Question

To re-set a record in a subfile as changed using the SFLNXTCHG keyword you
must update the subfile record.  Think of a subfile as a PF.  Think of the
SFLNXTCHG as a flag that needs to be set.  I only use this after I have read
and processed the subfile record.  If it has an error, I set on the
SFLNXTCHG indicator before I update the subfile record.  If there is no
error I set off the indicator.

Of course if the user types any data on an input capable field with-in the
subfile record, the sflnxtchg flag is set on by the system.  How is control
being returned to your program, via function key or enter key?  If this does
not give you enough, post your DDS and RPG relative to the subfile
processing and I will look it over.

> I have specified the SFLNXTCHG keyword at the record level of a subfile,
but when I do a READC to the subfile the records are not returned to my RPG
program.  I have tried specifying an indicator and turning it on and without
an indicator.  I put it in debug and the EOF indicator on the READC
operation comes on with the first READC.  The help text in SDA says that if
I specify this keyword (SFLNXTCHG) (Subfile Next Change) that the record
will be returned to my program regardless of the operator actually changing
the record.  What am I missing?
