RE: Subfile help

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a bigger question than it might seem.  First thing to look at is the
logic for processing the option keys.  There are several different ways of
doing it.  At some point the option field for the subfile record has to be
cleared and there needs to be an update to the subfile record format.  I
think the first thing I would look for would be updates to the subfile
record format.  Next thing would be the logic for returning to the list from
the list detail.  Does returning from the list detail clear the option
field?

If the application is badly written, there's no guarantee that that any of
this is done in a straight forward manner.  Good luck.

Subject: Subfile help


I have a application that was written by a outside consultant(very poorly
written), which uses subfiles(I have very little experience with them).   

Question:  The user is presented with the information and has options and
function keys.  when you do a 5 for display you can look at the detail info.
Then press F12 to cancel and you are at the header screen with the option
still there, which is what I want.  The you space or delete the option off
and use a function key and get a error because there is a option and the 5
reappears.  

So I need to Re read the screen when ever the function key is pressed to see
if the screen has changed. but I cant seem to get it to work.  

any help would be greatly appreciated.
