Re: Subfile question -- RPG400-L

It's a relatively simple matter to set SFLSIZ=SFLPAG and load your records into an array, which, mediated by a DS, stores and supplies subfile data on RollUp and RollDn. This gives you all the advantages of a "load-once" subfile together with the ability to create "custom" subfile lines based on various data conditions.

Re: Subfile question
Ron,
You can use an option indicator on those fields as long as you code the
subfile with SUBSIZ=SFLPAG.   Which means you have to control the roll
forward and backward in your program.  Here's an example which uses
*IN01=*ON for the total line and *IN01=*OFF for the date line:
     A          R SUBFILE                   SFL
     A  01                              3  1'Total:'
     A  01        CHAR          10A  B  3  8
     A N01                              3  1' Date:'
     A N01        DATE           8  0B  3  8EDTWRD('    /  /  ')
     A          R CONTROL                   SFLCTL(SUBFILE)
     A  31                                  SFLDSP
     A N30                                  SFLDSPCTL
     A  30                                  SFLCLR
     A                                      SFLSIZ(0005)
     A                                      SFLPAG(0005)
Hope this helps,
Paul

Ok, I have a subfile record where I'd like to display a character field with the value 'TOTAL: ' or an input/output field for date depending on the type of record it is. If it is a Total record, then I want the char
field
to display (it's 10 long), if not I want the 8 signed date field with
edit
word (' / / ') making it 10 long. Here's the catch, I want to have both in the same starting position. Now, it won't let me using an indicator on the fields for which one to display because it won't
compile.
 I tried using DSPATR(ND) based on the indicator, but there's an issue
with that as well.  Because DSPATR(ND) still outputs the field, just
hides
it, and uses a bit code to do it, on the records with the date I see the date field, but the total records I see nothing because the date field
is
saying ND and thus causing the char field which is in the same place to
ND
as well. Basically to sum it up, make two fields occupy same space in a subfile record, one or other shows depending on a condition. Thanks,
Ron Power
