RE: RPG II

Thanks Buck,

Using READP in one I wrote but have used the reloading of records from
the saved positioning key. 

Still would like to see someone else's code because they might have a
better way to do other things I might not have remembered.

Would anyone be able provide a good example of a simple RPG II program
that acts like a subfile with record selection? 

I would rather cut off my own head with a rusty spoon.

There's no secret; set up a series of arrays and use SETLL/READ to 
populate them.

Page changes are always the worst.  If the data changes often, page up 
then down _should_ result in a different display (because more items may

have been added or some removed from that series.)  Your RPG may not 
have READP; in that case, ditch the whole page up/down in favour of a 
positioner (partial key list) at the top of the display.

Good luck.
