Re: subfile question

[Alan Campin <alan0307d@xxxxxxxxx>]

Basic subfile stuff. SFLPAG is the number of records to load on a single
page. SFLSIZ is the number of records to load into subfile.

So user position the input file and program loads twelve records and
displays subfile. That page appears and user hits the roll key, program
loads twelve more records and the subfile is extended. Say the user presses
the roll up key two more times, now you have 4 pages loaded. If the user
press the roll down key the operating system will just roll back in the
subfile up to four pages. When you hit the fifth roll down it will break
and return to the program and programmer would need to reload the subfile.

This is called single page load. You can also set the values equal and each
time the user rolls forward or back the subfile is cleared and the page is
loaded.

Usually SFLSIZ is a multiple of SFLPAG.

Subfiles are very complex subject and many AS/400 programmers don't really
understand them.
