RE: page up/page down issue -- RPG400-L

What Jeff said, except I would use the same function keys regardless of
which of the screens is displayed, so that the user doesn't get confused
as to which keys to use under which circumstances.

Mike,
I would suggest that you use separate command keys on the subfile
control
record for previous/next record.
The Page Up/Page Down keys in the subfile will not return control to the
program until either the user attempts to page up/down before the first
record or after the last record in the subfile.

Booth,
There are 2 programs. The initial subfile program which you would

select

a '5' on a subfile record to display the detail record(via a second
program).

The second program depending on the type of record in the subfile will
display either a Display File(RECORD) or a Display File(SUBFILE)

If the Display File(RECORD) is displayed, you can press page up/down

show subsequent records(its essentially the same effect as selecting

many

subfile records at the same time and processing them sequenctially.

However if the Display File(Subfile) is displayed, the page up/down
keywords are associated with subfile, so all I can do is page through

the

subfile, I can't get to the next record. The subfile is a load all
subfile, so I don't need the page up/down for the subfile.

I hope I am explaining it better now

Mike

I am not clear on how many formats/programs there are. A main screen
format with 2 maintenance window formats, one with a subfile?

In any event, one thought is to use
SFLEND(*SCRBAR *MORE) ***
with the subfiles and let users use a scrollbar to move the subfile(s)

and down. That allows scrolling by a a few rows or a lot of rows.
http://www.martinvt.com/Subfiles/Two_Subfiles/two_subfiles.html

As to the specific problem: is there code in the DDS for page up/page
down? If so, what happens if you comment that code out? I ask that
because my memory tells me that with subfiles, the less code the

better.

Are you processing 2 formats at once, with a write followed by am
exfmt/read?

*** it really is that simple as long as you leave 3 empty columns at

the

end of the subfile row.

how

This is a basic RPG CRUD application.
The way we code these mimics our vendor supplied code

Display a subfile
Select option to edit/display a record.

Say I have 20 records in subfile and I place a '5' in an option

field

to display the maintenance screen.

I can press page up/down in the maintenance screen to continue

looking

at subsequent records.

So far so good. Now to the problem.

With this particular application, I can have 2 different maintenance
screens display The normal screen that displays all the fields.
Or a second screen that is a subfile screen.

Now my page up/down seems to be attached to my subfile and I am

never

able to page up/down to a subsequent record.

Any ideas how I can handle this?

Thanks

Mike
