RE: Move subfile left and right?

[booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Faced with the same problem in Sys/36 days I made various "views" that 
were toggled with function keys so the right side of the 80 column display 
could show "View 1" or "View 2" or "View 3".  The views were set up with 
logically related fields so that a user could in fact see what he wanted.

How about ......... (just some ideas, not the entire logic..........) 
 
  o A long work field to contain all the data you need on one line 
  o An 80 (or whatever) byte subfile field to contain a part of the long 
work field 
  In program 
    StartingValue = 1 
    LongWorkField = '    123.47-        Department name       20:25:05  
xxxxxxxxooooooooeeeeeeee 
                              99995555555blahblahblah 
    SflField = %SubSt(LongWorkField : StartingValue : %Size(SflField)) 
    Write subfile record 
    If WindowRightKey 
      If StartingValue + %Size(SflSize) <= %Size(LongWorkField) 
        StartingValue = StartingValue + %Size(SflField) 
      Else 
        Message = 'Can''t window right' 
     Same idea for Window left key. 
     Could window right/left based on cursor/subfile record position or 
for all subfile records on screen. 

How's this for a starting idea ??????????? 
  
 
  On display file 
     SflRecord = %SubStr(LongWorkField : StartingValue : 80)

     Hmmm, what about 132 column display? May cause squinting and 
     crossed eyes, but otherwise gives you the extra room you need.

Hi all! 
 
Sorry if this is OT, but as the program is written in RPG, I figured the 
question would fit here . . . 
 
I have a subfile with a selection field, 6 signed numeric fields(11,2), as 
well 
as a description field (30 char, and *all* 30 characters are being used. 
 
My problem is to fit the whole record on one line of a 80 column screen. 
(132 
width is next to impossible to read on CA, and the users *insist* that all 
the 
fields be on 1 line). I can't create a splf and just display that, as the 
users 
need to make additional selections on the sfl rec. 
 
Is there short way to define the fields beyond 80 char, and let the 
subfile 
behave like query or dspsplf? 
I can only think of using 2 subfiles, but that seems a bit cumbersome. 
 
Any "quick and dirty" solutions would be welcome :-) 
 
TIA 
Jaco Jonker.
