RE: Side By Side Subfile

[RPower@xxxxxxxxxx]

I just said to myself "wow that looks familiar" and it was lol.  That was 
a post I made quite a while back.  I ended up using one subfile with two 
columns because that was what suited the application better than two 
different subfiles, however I appreciate the post.  I will use that 
technique sometime soon I am sure.  Looks great thanks,

RE: Side By Side Subfile






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.
