Re: subfile?

["Booth Martin" <Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The system does care Scott.  I have no idea why but if the sflpag = sflsiz
these two keywords are ignored.
 
I wonder why he can't just make the sflsiz one record larger than the sflpag
though? What is the advantage of same sizes?

Why not? I wouldn't think the system would care if the subfile was page
at a time or not? I mean there isn't really a difference between loading
a subfile where there just happens to be only 10 records to display, and
loading a subfile where you're only loading 10 records, then clearing it,
and loading another 10... At least, the system doesn't know there's a
difference!
 
So, you should be able to do SFLFOLD just as you would otherwise, aside
from the obvious fact, of course, that there'll be fewer records displayed
at a time...

Alternately, you could just code two different subfiles, and switch
between them when the fold/drop function key is pressed. That's easy to
do, and should accomplish your goal...
