Re: SUBFILE FOR NON DISPLAY PROGRAMMING....

Oh, I get it. The problem I had with your example is that (as I understand
it) the %elem bif currently returns the DIM value, so it looked like you
were simply bumping up the DIM value. What we need is a different bif,
perhaps %entries or something to indicate the currently allocated number of
elements.
