Something that just occurred to me.  I'd like to manipulate the data-space
used by a subfile directly.  (Trying to think this through)... Perhaps a
keyword SFLDTAARA(%Addr($UserDefinedArrayOrDS)) that would allow us to
build/sort/modify subfile data in a program defined array or MODS.

Advantages:
- Using array structures to define SFL, we can sort the entire contents of a
SFL by any defined field.
- By offsetting the address to our base data, we could support more than
9999 records in a subfile.
- By using a single storage area for this data, we improve performance by
not having to load each record in the subfile one-at-a-time.

Perhaps simply adding a subfile-address to the I/O feedback DS for dspf
would give similar benefit.  Not knowing anything about SFL structures and
how they are implemented makes me wonder if this would work... :(
