Tom,
If you know that SFLSIZ = SFLPAG then you just perform an initial loop that 
writes to the subfile until the write fails since   the subfile will only 
permit one page of records to be written.

Dan:

Yep, you got it it. Although I can handle the API okay, I was just hoping 
someone knew some details of an INFDS or an obscure DDS or F-spec keyword that 
would bring the info into the program. It just seems that an external file 
description should make this available.

I'm looking at an existing program that has some 'Position to...' logic for a 
subfile. It relies on a literal value for subfile lines per page. I made 
changes to the DDS that reduced the subfile lines by one per page and need to 
make the corresponding change in the program before recompiling.

It shouldn't be necessary. I should be able to recompile with no program code 
change and 'Position to...' should still work, if the program is written 
correctly in the first place.

It looks like the API is the only choice.
