I was wondering if the following is possible i.e. have the Header fields also in the Footer Record format
Can this be managed by OVERLAY? i.e. is it possible to display the subfile in this manner

Yes, it is possible. What you are describing is OVERLAP not OVERLAY. OVERLAY only works when each record format occupies discrete rows of the panel. To accomplish OVERLAP you need to specify CLRL(*NO).

You cannot specify CLRL on a SFL or SFLCTL record so you'll need to specify it on your so-called "footer" record. You'll also need to change the order in which you write the records to the display device.

However, I think this is an ugly solution to your problem. Exactly what difficulty are you having when you attempt to "toggle beween reading the subfile control and the footer to perform validations"?
