Re: For/endfor loop

How about SFLSIZ ?  I never could spell and concentrate at the same time. 
:)

I am curious how a subfile can be sparse.   I am also curious why it is
complicated to establish the size of the subfile?  Its just a whole lot
easier, in my mind, to use  SFLSIZ(&SFLRECS) and be done with it.  After
filling the subfile just eval   SFLRECS = RRN and everything works well.

Martin,
 
Assuming the subfile isn't sparse (no skipped RRNs) I'd rather sequentially
work through the subfile until %Found fails.  Then you don't have to keep
track of a separate SFLRECS value for the total number of records in the
subfile.  The loop is more complicated but you can't run into any problems
with SFLRECS not matching the actual records in the subfile.
 
Is SFLSIZE some new keyword in V5R3?
