Re: Can't get SFLFOLD/SFLDROP to "stick"

Here's how I do it:

In the DDS
     A  59                                  SFLDROP(CF04)
     A                                      SFLMODE(&SFLMODE)
(no other reference to CF04 in the DDS)

In the RPG
      //  Display file indicator data structure
     d Wsindds         ds
     d   SflNonDsply          50     50n
     d   SflEnd               51     51n
     d   SflNxtChg            55     55n
     d   SflBadOption         56     56n
     d   SflDrop              59     59n
.....  at initialization
       SflDrop = *on;
.....  after EXFMT
       eval SflDrop = SflMode;
.....  to determine how many records on a page(page at a time
subfile)
         if SflDrop;
           SflPage = SFLPAG;
         else;
           SflPage = SFLPAG / 2;
         endif;
