Re: Still having a problem with windowed subfile

SFLRCDNBR(CURSOR) will return the sflrcd that any key is pressed on readc 
or no.
I think in step 6 the readc he refers to is on the subfile b.

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.
