Re: Subfile

[Anton Gombkötö <Gombkoetoe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

1.
A subfile has always unique keys, it's the subfile record number.
But i understand the problem you have. When you fill a subfile with data 
from a non-unique keyed file it's hard to find the correct record if the 
user selects a record of a group having the same key. A solution might be 
opening the file twice; once with keys to get the desired sequence of 
records on the screen, with an INFDS and retrieve the relative record 
number (RRN) of the PF, store it in a hidden field in the SFL, display it 
and access the second file via RRN-CHAIN. Not very pretty, so i prefer to 
have a unique field in the files which i can include in the key to make it 
unique. (simple counter)

2. & 3.
I prfer to send messages to my program message queue which are displayed by 
a message subfile.
see the post about sending msg's to the joblog (this is actually the same!).
