RE: Subfile question

[CarollaT@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks guys.  

Scott:  That's what I thought, but I also know that the workstation
controller has the data contained in the subfile, in its belly somewhere.
And since we are using TCP/IP, the workstation controller is just a program
running on the iSeries.  Even so, it probably doesn't trap when a record
changed... But if it does, I am willing to explore the complexity of it, due
to the amount of man-hours this might save us.  How complex is complex?
*grin*

We have our iSeries web-server turned off for security/HIPAA reasons, so
that leaves VARPG, which I might consider using for this purpose.  



Walden:  I'm not sure I understand what you mean.  CHECK (the op code,
right?) checks a field to contain only characters in another string of
characters.  This wouldn't seem to help, because the problem I am facing is
the fact that I still can't tell when each individual changed record in the
subfile was changed.  I can only read 'top to bottom' for changes.

Another way of doing that is using the ENTFLDATR keyword to highlight the 
subfile line where the cursor at.  User pressed Enter to select the line.
When 
entered is pressed, use the sfl cursor keyword to determine which record the

user selected and update a hide field with the next sequence number.

If I wait until the user presses Enter, then there is no difficulty, I can
record the timestamp at that point.  The idea is for the user to be able to
change multiple records between 'enter' keys, and have the program detect
the order that these multiple records were changed.
