Re: Positioning cursor on a subfile record

My understanding is that the subfile will redisplay to the page that holds the SFLRCDNBR. I believe it will not put that record as the first line displayed, nor will it place the cursor on that record.

For example, as I understand it, lets say you have a 10-line page and a 150 row subfile. If you make SFLRCDNBR = 47 then the display will show the 5th page beginning with subfile record 41, and the cursor will be positioned at the top of the page at subfile record 41.

From what you have described, SFLFMSG is the easiest way to go.

that it will actually position it to the SPECIFIC subfile record?

You are not interpreting it wrong. The display file DDS manual
actually gives a verbal example to illustrate how it's supposed to
work, and their example exactly matches the behavior you're looking
for..
