Again, if there is no data in subfile, don't display it (no reason for 5250 to 
error it out).  You can still overlay the format that say no-records found.

If there is no data you might want to give the user a peek into the display.
With no data in the subfile just display associated format(s) including the
SFLDSPCTL
while omiting the SFLDSP.

While your at it you can also display a special format with one line that
overlays where the
subfile data would normaly display. This one line would say '(no records
found)'.
