RE: counting the number of times key was pressed.

I think there is an easier way to find out what you are looking for.

In the INFDS data area for the display file there is a variable which
contains the subfile record number which is currently the top record
displayed. As the user presses PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN this values changes. 

It is in positions 378-379 and is a binary value.

        Hrishikesh,

        Are you talking about an equiv subfile(SFLSIZ = SFLPAG) where you
load the 
        subfile based on the key pressed. Well, i'm not using the equiv
subfile 
        concept in my program.

        To give the exact picture of my problem, i have loaded a subfile
where 
        SFLSIZ in not equal to SFLPAG. Based on the record that is seen by
the user 
        i have to load another subfile when a funtion key is pressed, the
issue is 
        that there is no input field in both the subfiles. Eg: If the user
presses 
        the function key while viewing record number 4,5 & 6 i should load
the other 
        subfile with  some details for those records(4,5 & 6). If i can
count the 
        number of times the page up or page down keys are pressed i would be
able to 
        calculate the record number to load the other subfile.

        Suggestion Plz.

        Thanks
