Re: Best practice for displaying an empty subfile

What works best for my users when the subfile has no records is to fill some description field with a relevant phrase like

FIELD = x'32' + 'No records to display. Are all of your filters on?';

and write that one one subfile record.

other logic I need to add so I can at least display the empty subfile
screen.

Thanks
