RE: Subfile Question

["Mark A. Manske" <mmanske@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is not possible, a subfile takes position 1-80 of each line, you can
only
have "non-subfile" fields on record formats either below or above the
subfile.

A windowed subfile will work, but you did not say "how" these extra fields
are
being used; so this may not be an option.

The way around this is "ugly", but I used to work on a S/34 and
S/36(pre-subfile days).
So do not code this as a subfile, then you can layout your screen just how
you
want it to look - its not pretty, and can be a lot of extra work; you have
to control
everything, and have different field names for all the "records" in your
fake subfile.

I have a subfile that has 3 fields. I want to place additional non-subfile
fields on the same rows as the subfile but keep them outside of the subfile.
In other words I want to place fields just to the right of the subfile. I
first tried putting the fields in my subfile control, but I got compile
errors because the Control overlapped the subfile. I then put the fields
into a different record Format. I can get everything to compile, but the
fields that are supposed to be to the right of the subfile are not being
displayed. My guess is the subfile is overlapping the record format. Does
anyone know if I can specify the subfile size horizontally so I can put
non-subfile fields on the same rows that the subfile is using?
