The subfile control contains fields defined as both input and output. The subfile itself is a list of all previously entered transactions (with a select field that can be used to select the transaction for update or deletion). Two of the subfile control fields are promptable; if the client presses F9 while positioned on the field, an appropriate inquiry program is called from which the client may select the value to use for the field.


The problem that I am having is that, after the F9 key is pressed and the primary program's subfile is re-displayed, any previously entered fields are cleared (blank or zero). The control logic is:


DOW FKey <> F3; WRITE MCU004AFK; // Function keys WRITE MSGSFLB; // Message subfile
EXFMT MCU004ACTL; // Subfile control
EXSR $CMsg; // Clear message subfile
IF FKey = F3; LEAVE; ENDIF; IF FKey = F9 // Prompt function
AND zzfld = 'UMA'; s#um = '***'; arq018(s#um:term); IF s#um <> *Blanks; uma = s#um; ENDIF; ITER; ENDIF;


I have done this several times before with success; i.e., previously entered fields are re-displayed with the values entered before the prompt fills in data. The difference is that, in those cases, these have been simple record panels, not subfile controls.


The subfile control record has:

R MCU004ACTL SFLCTL(MCU004A) OVERLAY SFLSIZ(9999) SFLPAG(0014) 33 SFLDSP N31 SFLDSPCTL 31 SFLCLR 90 SFLEND(*MORE) CA09 RTNCSRLOC(&ZZRCD &ZZFLD &ZZPOS)
ZZRCD 10A H ZZPOS 4S 0H ZZFLD 10A H RRN 4S 0H SFLRCDNBR

Am I missing a SFLxxx keyword, or is it not possible to do what I want with a subfile control?

Thanks.
