RE: SFLNXTCHG

Right. To finalize the setting of SFLNXTCHG of being "on", you must write the control record, not just update the subfile. You are updating the subfile record when you're setting SFLNXTCHG on, right? You're best be is a loop with a CHAIN.

Actually your best bet is to use a DS Array. Much less overhead.

Hi Chuck
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are saying/asking
If the subfile is never displayed, how could something be changed to use READC (read changed)
If you need to read the subfile, it would be better to CHAIN to the data by relative record number

I have an application with a subfile which is not displayed on-screen but utilized in the background. It would appear that the READC op-code is not working, even though the records were updated with the proper indicator for the SFLNXTCHG keyword.

Does the SFLNXTCHG/READC not work if the subfile is never displayed on-screen?
