Re: Overlaying record with a subfile record

I am sure this is possible but what I am not sure on is how to set it up.
I have a full screen display file that uses lines through 16. I have a
subfile control record defined with headings on line 17 and a subfile that
has fields layed out beginning on line 18.

What I would like to do, is display the main record format and then lay
the subfile on top of that, so that both are displayed at the same time.

I know that I have seen this done, or something similar to it at some
point. Or do I have that in reverse order, the subfile displayed first as
a write and then exfmt on the main record format?

I think you want a window. Look up the windowing keywords in the DDS
manual. Finding the right search keywords is sometimes the hardest part
of research! Once you have the right DDS keywords you should be able to
find examples on the web.
