RE: SFLEND

My technique is to use 2 lines for SFLEND.
88
ON88 ... SFLEND

That way we can be sure that the condition is true, and it doesn't "use up"
an indicator or open itself to problems due to future maintenance.

The things that come to those who wait will be the things left by those who
got there first.

If the subfile is loaded completely, always turn on
SFLEND(*MORE). It will show "More..." till user get to the
last page, then 'Bottom". Just put an indicator on it
(required) and always turn it on (or use something like "88
or not 88" to be able to ignore it).

I just put N88 in the DDS. In the program I don't use the indicator.
Now I have "More..." and "Bottom" ok. The only thing is, "Bottom" shows
when there is only 1 row. I guess if I wanted to not show it in that
case, I would compare the number of records with the SFLPAG value and
put 88 on if I went past it. A lot of work for such little gained. I
wouldn't want to hard code the SFLPAG value but I think it may be
hidden somewhere in the file infds. Couldn't all subfile code use a
generic function that would tell it when SFLEND should be on or off?
