Re: MVC Subfile Example

[Scott Klement <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Stephen,

I doubt that combining the view and controller would be a problem -- at 
least it hasn't been for me.  But, if you want to keep them separate, 
it's just a matter of having the controller call the Model to load the 
records for the subfile into an array, then having the controller call 
the view and pass that array so they can be loaded into the subfile.

The April 2008 issue of System iNEWS magazine included a sample 
green-screen app (by yours truly) that used a subfile, but was written 
in an MVC manner.  (You need a System iNEWS ProVIP subscription to read 
it online)
http://systeminetwork.com/article/rpg-and-web-technologies-get-there

The code download for that article shoudl include the entire program so 
you can see all of the details.

There were three other articles in that issue, written by other authors, 
that re-used the Model of my green-screen to make web apps in various 
other languages (Java, PHP and CGIDEV2)

Good luck
