RE: Side By Side Subfile

[Joe Giusto <jgiusto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have not found a solution to this yet, I have a menu program with
side by side subfile.  
What I actually do is describe one subfile and use the cursor position to
determine which side to roll.  
It is actually a one page subfile with subfile size = page size.  If they
roll the right side, I read the next n (n=page size) records from file 2 and
chain/update the subfile records in a loop (clearing the remainder of right
side fields when I reach end of file).  If they roll the left side, same
thing using file 1. 
This gives the illusion of a side by side subfile.
