A coworker stated the other day that handling the page-up and page-down
of a subfile in the RPG program was more efficient than letting the
system handle the scrolling. They couldn't give an specific reason
just that 'that's what I have always been told'. It was news to me and
I'm having a hard time seeing how that would be true.
Of course I don't know where your coworker got that information, but I can
assume it was about filling the subfile with all available records (up to
9999) or filling a page at a time. If you are filling a subfile with
thousands of records and the user usually only pages a couple of times,
you'd have been processing more efficiently by not writing the extra
records. But how that got from there (IF it got from there) to "the system
doesn't handle paging as efficiently as you can," I cannot guess.
