RE: information DS of a display file.

["Saunders, Martin P" <martin.saunders@xxxxxxxx>]

OK here's a quick example:

You define the INFDS on the file specs for the display file like so:

 * Display file                                         
FDispF     CF   E             WorkStn InfDS(SFLDS)      
F                                     SFile(Scrn1:RRN1)

Then you can specify the INFDS subfield like this:

D SFLDS           DS                  
D  SRRN                 378    379B 0

Now in your calc specs the field SRRN will contain the RRN of the first
subfile record currently displayed on the screen, so no need to count page
down key presses.

I suggest you refer to the File Management Book (Appendix A) in the IBM
information centre if you need any more information.

Hi Martin Saunders,

I had a look at your reply in regards to counting the number of times the 
page up or page down key is pressed. Being fairly new to  RPG i have no clue

about the information DS of a display file. what is it all about and how do 
i get the details from position 378-379 (binary).

Incase you want to reply separately you can do that. npratheb@xxxxxxxxxxx

i would appreciate replies and suggestions from other member too.

Thanks & have a Great Day.
