Re: Still having a problem with windowed subfile

I prefer for/endfor loop over readc. You don't get caught with sflnxtchg issues(which I suspect may be the heart of your problems in this instance).
I wonder... how do you know which subfile record wants the result of the F4 action? Are you using cursor positioning to know? If you are using readc, then what is the change to the subfile record that causes the readc indicator to be turned on?
Also, since you are discovering the subfile record to update at step 3 why are you doing step 6? READC in step 6 will not fetch the same record because it is no longer a changed record, in fact step 6 probably won't fetch any record since you only changed one record.

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? :)
