RE: different iterations of SQL run statements in same program

Matt,

I've got a page at a time...took me a while also.  I'm still not sure the
way I'm doing it the best, but it does seem to work.

Basically, I ended up keeping track of how many records had been displayed.

  select;                                                       
    when pDirectionToRead = READ_START;                         
      //First screen                                            
      wRelativePos = 1;                                         
      wCurRecNbr = 0;                                           
    when pDirectionToRead = READ_BACKWARD                       
       and wCurRecNbr <= MAX_RECORDS_FETCHED;                   
      // Start over at begining                                 
      wRelativePos = 1 - wNbrRecsRead;                          
      wCurRecNbr = 0;                                           
    when pDirectionToRead = READ_BACKWARD;                      
      // back to top of prior screen                            
      wRelativePos = 1 - MAX_SUBFILE_RECORDS - wNbrRecsRead;    
      wCurRecNbr += wRelativePos - 1;                           
    // must be READ_FORWARD                                     
    when wEOF;                                                  
      // top of current screen (redisplay)                      
      wRelativePos = 1 - wNbrRecsRead;                          
      wCurRecNbr += wRelativePos - 1;                           
    other;                                                      
      //last record fetched was never displayed  
      wRelativePos = 0;                          
      wCurRecNbr -= 1;                           
  endsl;                                         

Note that I fetch 11 records but display 10 so that I know if I'm at EOF.  I
wonder what effect adding/deleting a record in the file I'm accessing would
have.  Luckily, that's not an issue with this particular file and in any
case this is a simple inquiry program.
