Well, since my memory is notoriously faulty, I can't argue with you about that. And you are right, I did use arrays, but only used variable start lines sometimes. As a matter of fact, I still tend to use arrays instead of subfiles, probably because of those early 36 days, (and the impression that I have that arrays are much more efficient than subfiles) (I was going to say fact, but have no desire to start a holy war :-) ) > -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Landess [SMTP:steve_landess@xxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 11:19 AM > To: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries > Subject: Re: subfile? > > No subfile support existed on S/36 - this is a S/38 concept inherited by > the > AS/400... > > ...maybe you were simulating them with arrays and a variable start line on > a > display format on the S/36, like I did... > > Steve > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Johnson, Duane" <djohnson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: "'RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries'" <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 11:06 AM > Subject: RE: subfile? > > > > Hmmmm, now that you mention it, that brings something to mind.
