RE: Subfile woes.....

Correct...I have OVERLAY on my control record format AND on the subfile
"footer" record...



 I suspect you have OVERLAY on all your record formats, and none of them
overlap the subfile, so the old subfile is not being erased.

If this is the case, you can do one of the following when there are no
records:

1. Make sure that you write at least one record format WITHOUT using the
OVERLAY keyword (condition the OVERLAY with the same indicator that you
use
to condition SFLDSP).  This will erase the entire screen.  This option
may
be the easiest, depending on your screen layout.

2. Write a dummy format that occupies the same space as the subfile.
This
is actually a nice option, because you can output a nice "no records
found"
message.
