When you fill the subfile after a delete you would need to re-set the marker for the data file at the first record of the subfile.

In other words, I believe you will want to save the file's key for RRN
#1 and then use that SavedKey as:
setll SavedKey FILE;
at the end of your delete routine. This will reset your reads to begin at the same place and should refresh your display, minus the deleted record(s).

Hello, I am a real Noobie! I have been spending my spare time trying to learn how to program on the AS/400. I have purchased several books, printed tons of IBM Redbook documents, and now, I am hoping someone here at this forum can point out my error.

I have been writing and rewriting an example from one of the books I purchased, "Subfiles in Free-Format RPG" BY Kevin Vandever. specifically example sfl006rg, sfl006df. I have been modifying it for my purposes and once i have a working copy, I would delete it and rewrite it taking a different approach hoping the repetition would sink in. This is a simple program that, when completed, would allow you to add display, delete, and edit records. Each approach I would take in rewriting it would be to get the basic view up and going and then add 1 function at a time. My last approach was adding the delete function and for the life of my I cant figure out why its not working. I have printed the sample code out and my own code and have looked at them step by step but because of some of the name changes, I have become completely lost. So, hopefully someone her will have a laugh and show me what I am missing.

Problem: After I delete a record, the subfile doesn't show all the records in the file, minus the one deleted, only a few of them and the subfile will not load any records by pressing page-up or page-down. But, if I add a new record, the subfile will start working again, showing all records.

My mind is jumbled and I need someone to point me in the right direction, Thanks for your time!
