Letting the subfile control the paging is not going to allow your program to control the cursor, because when you press pagedown (or pageup) the subfile changes the screen, not your program. You have to programatically (sp?) control pageup and pagedown, so that each time they are pressed, your programs controls the displaying, not the subfile. You can then change the cursor postion using the SFLRCDNBR(CURSOR) keyword.

I have an RPG program with an input-capable subfile. I want to position the

the relative record number of the record on which the cursor is located
within a subfile, but I want to position it, not to get the current
position.

I'm letting the SFL handle the paging.

Am I missing something obvious? Surely ("don't ever call me Shirley") I'm
not the first poor slob to have to do this.

Any thoughts?
