I still haven't figured out a clean way to do this, but for now I specified the main program defined display file as UsrOpn, and open it in the *InzSR. Then when I want to show my subfile I do: C Close Str002FM C Open Str002FM which works, but there is a noticeable delay. If anyone has another solution it would be helpful.
