Re: Ho w to display two editable records simultaneously in a DSPF.

Sounds like what you've done is place fields in the SFLCTL record both
above and below the subfile. This is a nono. It causes the subfile to
malfunction as you've witnessed.
In the SFLCTL record you should have editable fields above, nothing below
the first line of the subfile. Have a third record (Carol eluded to this as
"the trailer") with yet more editable fields on it. Usually the trailer
clears the screen, all other have OVERLAY on them.

then

< clear/fill subfile as appropriate >
write trailer
write ctl01
read trailer
read ctl01
readc s1
dow not %eof (filename )
readc s1
enddo

or something like that.

Which is true:
a) S1 should be filled in with each SFL record.
b) the data in S1 applies to all SFL-records

a) make a SFL-record over multiple lines with all the input capalble
fields
required.
b) put the input capable fiels of S1 in your trailer or SFLCTL.

You say you attached a screen shot, but attachments are removed by the
mail
manager. And your text is ratrher vague on that issue. A SFL record and
other records overlapping is only possible with windows and both windows
are input capable. If you use windows then you have to move the cursor to
the SFL-window, as the active part of the screen is the last written S1.

I have a requirement of showing a subfile (editable) and some other

record
simultaneously on a single screen. Subfile records and other record are

overlapping. I have tried following, but this is making SUBFILE records

uneditable. Please suggest

Screen: As Attached. Data in red border needs to be a subfile , Rest of

the data I have broken into subfile control record (CTL01) and S1. All the

fields should be editable DSPF:

RPGLE program :
C write(e) ctl01
C write(e) S1
C read(e) ctl01
C read(e) s1


OVERLAY keyword is specified in CTL01 & S1 record format in DSPF. Above

RPGLE code displays S1 & CTL01 portion in editable mode but SFL01 fields

are not editable.
