Re: today's how-best-to question...

If you want quick and easy, I agree that I seriously doubt any user will
page down through the 9,999 subfile records. Just put this code on your
build routine.

READ ITEMAS
DOW NOT %EOF(ITEMAS) AND RRN1<9999
do something
EXSR $WRITES01SFL

It is quick and easy. May not be the best but it does work. I would
recommend you have a position to field on the screen. That way if the user
needs to get to something beyond 9,999 they can. Hope this helps.

I wasn't very clear. The first api QUSLOBJ gets the list and then I
use another API to get information about each object from the list api.

I am not inclined to use the initial user space as I would
have to keep retrieving the object info for each page up/down request.

actually you won't have to retrieve but one time for page up and one

time

for page down. just move the pointer to the correct entry...

page up:
pointer = pointer - (entrysize * sflpagesize) ... (make sure you don't
go past the first entry)

page down:
pointer = pointer + entrysize (but you'll have to make sure you don't go
past the last entry)

Thanks,
