Re: Subfile message

Hi,

Assuming that you're doing a subfile where you load everything at
once, and then let the OS handle the paging through it, etc, then
no, I don't think you can change whats printed for the SFLEND...
(Please correct me if I'm mistaken)

However, if you load your subfile a page at a time, and handle the
paging in your RPG code, then you can simply define an output-only
field in that position of your screen, and populate it however you
wish.  (in other words, don't use SFLEND, but make your own message)

One thing that you may wish to consider before doing this, however,
is simply consistency...   There are huge advantages to have the
user interface be consistent across all programs!  It makes life a
lot easier for the user...  (I dont know if this applies to your
situation, but I thought I'd plant the idea in your head, anyway)

Good Luck!
