Re: Subfile question

[Dave Murvin <davem@xxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

I believe that you need to erase subfile that contains only deleted 
records.  Try something like the following:

       A  32                                  SFLDSP
       A N32                                  ERASE(DSPF01S1)

If there are active records in the subfile enable SFLDSP, else erase it.
