RE: RPGLE DDS Subfile out of 9999 records limit

From: Booth Martin

You don't [use the enhanced DDS keywords]?

Here we are, in a text-based environment and we refuse to use the common
and ordinary text-based tools that have been available for 15+ years.
Even Minuet used radio buttons, check boxes, and scroll bars. And we
get all huffy when people say we won't adapt? Gosh I wonder why?

Sorry. I understand the move to a browser, etc, but not everyone is
ready for a step like that, emotionally or financially.

Cripes. Don't jump all over my case, Booth. The reason I don't use the
enhanced DDS keywords is twofold: my clients don't like them and neither do
I. I think trying to make the 5250 emulate a browser is a less than
productive concept. Use a 5250 for what it's good for, and if you want
widgets, use a browser.

Equating my dislike of the enhanced DDS keywords with an unwillingness to
adapt is a bit of a stretch, dude.
