RE: SFLNXTCHG and Function Keys on Subfiles

["Fisher, Don" <Dfisher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The pressing of F4 does not activate the marker READC uses to indicate a
subfile record has been changed.  You must calculate the subfile record on
which the cursor was positioned when F4 was pressed and then turn on
SFLNXTCHG so READC will identify the record.

Of course, since you already know which subfile record is involved, you
could just invoke your editing routine after the F4 processing is complete.

The algorithm I use for calculating the subfile relative record number is as
follows:
FDSPF001   CF   E             WORKSTN SFILE(SUBFILE:RRN1)
F                                     INFDS(DSPFDS)

DDSPFDS           DS
D  DSCRSRPOS            370    371B 0
D  DS1STSFRCD           378    379B 0

C                   EVAL      RRN1 = (S1ROW - <1st sf line>) + DS1STSFRCD

S1ROW is defined in the DDS as follows:
RTNCSRLOC(*MOUSE &S1ROW &S1COLUMN)
S1ROW          3S 0H

If you have multiple columns, you must determine on which column the cursor
is and add to the RRN1 calculation as needed.

Hope this helps.

All I want to do is be able to do an F4 on the reason and have the code
returned from a selection list to the correct subfile line selected from
and if there are any errors - eg the user enters in the wrong code then
that line is highlighted and not processed and the subfile is re-written
showing the errors and removing those items already processed.
