Re: RPGLE DDS Subfile out of 9999 records limit

You may also need to store an array or some other method to keep track of
selected records from the screens they roll off of. process the screen and
update the array, userspace or whatever you use to store the full subfile
and then load the next portion they need. When they are done just process
that screen into the array, and then process the requested action from the
array. Sorry I don't have any examples of doing this. I never load more
than 9999 records at a time. I do think with everything else IBM is doing
for RPG expanding the max subfile size to 99999 shouldn't be too difficult
and since it is larger would not cause compatibility issues with existing
code.

Hi J Z
this can still be accomplished with a page at a time subfile. The only
difference (ONLY!!!) is that YOU code the program to handle the page-up,
page down and position to

Hi Alan

Sounds stupid right...?! I know.

It is because the user have no idea which one they want to

select/change,
so

they insist to have the whole list!

Hi J Z
I'm curious as to why you state that you HAVE to load ALL 30,000

records

into the subfile.
Answering this question may present an opening for people to give you
different suggestions

Hi,

As you know that IBM restricted to the 9,999 records limit when load

a

subfile, and we can just load one page at a time to not limited by

the

number of records.

But I have a situation that need to load all data (almost 30, 000

records)

into subfiles, and allow user to do page down, page up to

select/change

multiple records. I can do the page down & page up, but how can I

get
my

selected data 'cause the original SFLRCDNBR can only up to 9999 ?

Any hints, suggestions or sample codes would be really appreciated!

JJ
