Re: Still having a problem with windowed subfile

I think I got your problem.
Based on your steps:
3. READC on subfile A after user makes a selection.  Load the subfile 
fields to holding fields so that when you chain back to the file, you 
don't lose what they've keyed.
7. Chain to subfile A based on the RRN and then move the new GL account 
number to the appropriate field on subfileA and also move the saved fields 
to the subfile fields here as well.

Operation 7 is causing you to lose what the user keyed in previously cause 
the subfile was changed but not updated.  See if that works.

Still having a problem with windowed subfile






I am still having a problem with overwriting subfile A after receiving a 
selection from subfile B (windowed subfile).

Here are the steps I am going through:

1. Load subfile A wth one blank record, it has among others a numeric 
field 
for date, ref, GL account no, etc.

2. Enter into loop and EXFMT subfile A to await user action.

3. READC on subfile A after user makes a selection

4. IF user selects F04 (*IN04 coded as CF04) we EXSR LOADCA which will 
load 
subfile B.

5. Display subfile B and await user selection

6. Upon return execute a READC to check for any user selections.

7. Chain to subfile A based on the RRN and then move the new GL account 
number to the appropriate field on subfileA

8. update subfile A.

9. Control now drops all the way back to the main procedure which loops 
back 
to EXFMT subfile A.

>From what I can tell in theory everything should work, but when it 
redisplays subfile A it blanks out all fields with the exception of the GL 

account number.

Suggestions? Hints? Tell me to change jobs? :)
