RE: SFLDROP and SFLFOLD

I'm not sure how many ways you can do this, but here's how I do it.

I put both the Fold and the Drop keywords in my DDS with indicators.  I
give the Drop N21 and the Fold 21.  

I put SFLMODE(&MODE) and define &MODE as 1 character hidden in my
Subfile Control portion of the DDS.

In the RPG, just before the EXFMT, I compare MODE.  If it is *OFF I turn
*IN21 *ON.  If it's *ON, I turn *IN21 *OFF.  

The screen will then stay as it was when they hit enter.

OK. I have investigated the SFLMODE keyword. I understand that it will
tell me the mode WHEN I return from data entry. It seems that
SFLDROP/FOLD just "works" without any return to the program. The example
shows both SFLDROP and SFLFOLD controlled by the same CF key (03). Each
is also associated with controlling indicators 10/11.

I am not seeing how I can set 10/11 if I don't get control after the CF
key is pressed. It looks like I need to read the user's mind to set the
indicator before they actually press the CF key....

Clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Dave

I'm still trying to get my "Embedded SQL; RPGLE; Maintenance Program" 
to
do what I want. Current hang-up is to get the SFLDROP to persist even 
though we do a page down that refreshes the subfile. It comes up 
folded.
When I enter F11, it drops. If I scroll down ONCE, the drop stays. On 
the next scroll, it folds again. I want it to stay dropped until I 
enter
F11 again, and then fold.

Investigate the SFLMODE keyword. Use the value of the associated field
to condition SFLDROP or SFLFOLD when the subfile is displayed. This will
maintain the consistent behaviour you desire.
