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 to
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) up
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.
