Re: Displaying a sequence number in load all DDS?

Sorry....
I made a wrong assumption.  The programming model that I use (JDE) usually
physically creates all subfile records prior to display for data entry
subfiles...

What I described works if you use this technique:

If the subfile is going to have 400 records in it, write 400 blank records
to the subfile.  In this way, you can place the relative record number into
an output field in the subfile.

When the user presses <Enter> or a given function key, use READC or CHAIN
operations to process the records in the subfile, depending on editing
requirements.  Then look for either non-blank values or changes made by
comparison to hidden fields in the subfile to determine which records to use
from the subfile.  If all fields are blank or zero, ignore the subfile
record.

If you are initializing the subfile with 400 records, then I don't know of a
way to do what you want...
