Hi Alan

I think I lost the thread and the plot - literally :-)

In one post you had said that you use SFLPAG = SFLSIZ to get around the
issue of users wanting the 10,000th record, but you didn't want to
reload
the subfile from the 10,000th record and then you went on to say in a
later
post that users wouldn't scroll through the 10,000 records they would
use a
position field.

My misunderstanding was that I forgot you were advocating SFLPAG =
SFLSIZ
which would force you to reload the subfile every time, and got stuck on
what seemed a contradiction that you didn't want to reload the subfile.

I think I'd better go and have a large Espresso or something and re-read
the
threads when my brain is working again.

All the best 

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
thats the reason for this thread/conversation. I prefer to use
page-at-a-time subfiles, because there IS no limit of 10,000 or so
records
for the sub-file.

Hi Alan

>> You don't have to scroll down 10,000 records, how about giving the
user
a
>> position to field?

So, if your user repositions to the 10,000th record after the first page
is
loaded do you then read the next 9,990 or so records to get to the one
your
user wants?  Personally I would reload the subfile starting from the
10,000th record and handle any paging up programmatically.

Jonathan
