RE: subfile?

["Walden H. Leverich III" <WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can't have more that 9999 rows in a subfile, true. But that's not to say
you can't use the expanding subfile technique. If you load just over a page
at a time (ex. sflsiz=11 sflpag=10) then you be able to use fold/drop while
still growing dynamically. Just load 11 rows into the subfile and wait for a
page down to load 11 more.

At 10 rows per page the user would have to page down 1000 times before the
app blew, if you have users that are willing to hit page down 1000 times
you're a lucky guy.

In my case there can be well over 100,000 records, and I believe the
expanding subfile will blow at 9999.   That's why I was hoping to find a
way around the sfldrop issue on a page at a time subfile.  Just hoping
their was something I was missing.
