Re: Subfile Positioning Question

Hi,
   I think your problem is becoz you are not resetting the RRN variable 
   that you have specified in SFLRCDNBR key word.
   That is in the display file
   A            NREC           3S 0H      SFLRCDNBR      
   Here NREC tells the display file on every EXFMT where to position
   The subfile
   
   Suppose you set this once and later did not clear ......I think
during every
   EXFMT it finds this value and sets your page to this specified RRN 
  
   May be you can make NREC = 0 before every instance of EXFMT where you
   don't intend to re-position the subfile.You can use the same if loop
   Where you check if your control field (position to) field is blank-
to make 
   NREC = 0.
   In fact I have not tried out how subfile will perceive NREC =0 .If it
simply 
   Ignores it because such an RRN does not exist, then the problem is
solved.
   If it throws an error or positions it to RRN = 1 then we need to
think of
   Other options.
