RE: Re:Subfile load

"Read under format" was a trick I learned from a class taught by Charlie
Massoglia (is he still around?). We had S/38's at the time and picked
up a couple of 5363's(?) to play with thinking we'd put one in each of
our stores as a remote controller and for local apps. I had to go to a
class to learn S/36 stuff. I thought "read under" was a pretty neat
trick (in its day).

Oh, God, I think I'm going to be sick. Geez, there was even a CCP
emulator on the /34. I almost went back into teaching when my boss told
me I was going to have to learn CCP and I saw what it was.

Jerry,
The PRUF concept actually originated under CCP on the S/3.

Can you remember back THAT far? lol
Do you remember SUBR92?

On the /34 and /36 displays could be so slow that we have something
called PRUF (something-read-under-format) where the procedure wrote the
first panel while the program was actually loading. Never used it
myself, but it was another "trick" one could use to get around system
bottlenecks.

Often times the WHOLE file is loaded into the subfile and presented even
before the user is given a chance to tell the program what they want.
They
may only want to see Zig Ziglers stuff. And it loads from A to Z.

I know I had issues with subfile loads going from one OS release to
another.
But if you are loading a page at a time, it is never an issue. Maybe
with
this new chip it will never happen again with new OS releases. But the
OS
keeps getting bigger...
