Re: Half of the subfile in display mode and half into the add mode

You have two options, leave the last displayed subfile record blank and
available for entry or in the footer, create what appears to be "another
subfile record".



Say you have a subfile that looks like this...

Column1    Column2    Column3
________   ________   ________
________   ________   ________
________   ________   ________
________   ________   ________
________   ________   ________
________   ________   ________


In the footer, create Input/output fields that line up with the bottom of
the subfile

________   ________   ________

F=Exit


Then in the RPG program you will...

Write Footer
Exfmt SubfileControl

// Check for function keys
If f3, exit
if enter
  Read Footer      // Read the footer to see if user is adding new rec.

  If footer fields <> *Blanks then execute subroutine
EndIf

Does that help any?

hi ,

I have a requirement where  users are going to enter the data through
subfile and once the data is enter the same data should get displayed back
on screen in the display mode as well as at the bottom the user should be
able to enter more data through the subile.
I am not sure if it is possible with one subfile, i have tried to do it but
the system shows the existing records in the editable mode rather than
display mode,

is it possible to display the same subfile in display mode for existing
records and then in the add mode on the same screen.


Thanks,
Amit
