Re: SFLDROP (Subfile Drop) Question

Yeah, that's an unfortunate by-product of using SFLDROP/SFLFOLD. It doesn't 
break anything if the user happens upon it. If the user presses PageDown 
afterwards another page will get built and if they then PageUp all evidence of 
that anomaly is erased. It would be nice if the function key in those keywords 
was optional.

If it still concerns you then you could maybe specify one of the F13 to F24 
function keys that's incontinently located away from any other function keys in 
your application.

  Peter,

  I tried this and it works.  Only, I can't disable the function key that is
  assigned to the SFLDROP keyword.  It still creates the bug if the user were
  to find it.

  I get that too when using the function key named on the SFLDROP/SFLFOLD DDS
  keywords. It's a "feature" of the operating system because it isn't
  returning to your program. I get around by not using that function key.
  Instead I code a different one for compress/uncompress that returns to the
  RPG program where I can change the subfile mode and properly calculate the
  page to display along with the subfile line on which the cursor should
  appear on.

    Subject: SFLDROP (Subfile Drop) Question


    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.
