RE: Subfile without indicators

FWIW....you can't totally exclude indicators for subfiles.
Unfortunately subfiles require at least one indicator (if not more
depending on what you're doing...).  Until display files have an
alternative means of handling subfile processing best you can do is use
INDDS or INFDS with indicator renaming.... 


Thanks,

Joe,


While Booth's example shows that it can *almost* be done, the example is

a very specific case (one, in fact, that with Booth's help I used in a 
project).  Notice that there is no SFLCLR, which one would normally want

to do, but not every time you write the subfile control.  That requires 
an indicator. 


Kevin Vandever also wrote a pretty good book: Subfiles in RPG IV.  I 
couldn't find a single example in his book or Catalani's, which I also 
have, of a subfile with no indicators. 


Out of curiosity, why?
