RE: Empty subfile shows as filled

ClrSFL clears the subfile (in memory) but not the display. On a no
records situation you could fill the subfile with blanks and write, or
create a window that overwrites that area of the display and write it.

Subject: Empty subfile shows as filled

Hi,

I have a subfile that shows customer transactions. To view cancelled
transactions, the user presses a function key and the subfile is cleared
and recharged with all the transactions. Pressing the function key again
recharges without the cancelled transactions.

Case : the customer has only one transaction that is cancelled.

The first time, the screen shows no records, so OK.

Press the function key, the screen shows the cancelled transaction.

Press the function key again, the screen continues to show the cancelled
transaction, despite the fact that the subfile is empty. I seem to be
viewing the screen underneath the last screen.

This problem does not show if I try to debug.

What can I do ?

Thanks
