RE: SFLDROP (Subfile Drop) Question

Thanks.  I thought of that but I can't do that in this case.  Each line
contains a field that is a total of sales from a selection of records from a
huge file.  2500 records would take about 15 minutes to load into the
subfile.

Suggestion 1:  If there is anyway to use a load-all, do it.  2500 
records or less and its the only way to go.

I have a program with a subfile that displays 12 records at a time.  Each
time I page down, I add 12 more records.  I use the SFLDROP keyword to let
the user view a second line of data when an f-key is pressed.  So far,
nothing out of the ordinary.

 

Here's then scenario: Program opens by displaying the subfile collapsed, 1
line for each record, 12 records.  I press the function key to show the
subfile expanded.  I now see the first 6 records, 2 lines for each record,
as expected.  I pagedown once, now I see the next 6 records from the
collapsed screen, 2 lines each, still as expected.  Here's the funny part:

I

hit the function key to collapse the subfile again and I see the last 6
records, one line each, and 6 blank lines following:  Since I haven't

paged

down enough yet to add 12 more records to the subfile.  If I page down

now,

12 more records get read, and the second full page of 12 records is
displayed.  

 

I'd appreciate your suggestions.
