Re: Subfile maint. w/ add

Glenn, I made this change 71 is on the SFLNXTCHG
C readc sfl1 c eval *in71 = *on c update sf1ctl but it blows up:

Hi Mike,

Add the record level keyword SFLNXTCHG to the SFL record format,
conditioned by an indicator. After you do a READC, turn on the indicator
and update the SFL record. This record will then be considered changed
for the next time you do a READC.

Hope this helps.

A little problem is also with the READC. Let's say there is an error on
one field. They hit enter and the error routine redisplays the format. In
my case, if they hit enter again without changing anything, the screen
stays where it is, meaning that, the READC does not get a hit. I would
prefer that in such a case, admittedly not that frequent,
the error message should pop up again.

No... %EoF() doesn't return a numeric value to use in your FOR clause...
The "TO" portion needs to a number or a field with a number in it.
Also... you can only put the name of the display file in the %EoF()
function....

What you need to do....

C READC SFL1
C DoW not %EoF(DISPLAYFILE)
C ... process
C READC SFL1
C ENDDO

OR

For RRN1 = 1 To RRNMAX;
Chain RRN1 SFL1
If not %Found(DISPLAYFILE);
Leave;
endif;
... process
Endfor;

Booth, just one thing on this code the statement is garnering a '20'
message in the compile but not getting a clean compile the format is
the subfile is this allowed for a subfile?

C for RRN1 = 1 to %eof(sfl1)

002200 Parameter SFL1 is not valid for built-in function %
%EOF is ignored.

Nope. before, or after (depending on where you want the blank lines),
clear the sfl record and add a FOR loop that will write however many
blank lines that you want.

HI Thank you for greta help earlier. I apologize for the

simplicity of the issue earlier. Perhaps this one is better.

My issue now is, I did create the data entry program. But to me,

it would be slicker, if I just add empty lines in my regular
maintenace subfile, which does Change and Delete very nicely. I
currently hang a F6 ket to ADD records. Now I will then call my new
add program or copy the code in.

But why not be able to add blank lines to the existing maintenance

program and let them add?

Are there are special keywords I would need or codes for this?

Thanks, Mike
