Hi Bill
We always put a position to field - above the subfile data. So that when someone enters a value in this field, presses Enter - or a particular function key - the file is setll with that value (other than spaces) and then builds the subfile from that point on
NOTE - we ALWAYS build page at a time subfiles
A load ll sub file requires a different piece of logic

Bill,
You would need to get the "bin" from the subfile record using a CHAIN to the subfile record that the cursor is positioned to, then use that value to read you data file and reload the subfile.

Hello all,

Question for the group. I have the need to add "position to"
functionality to a subfile program. In this scenario, my subfile has one field which is
a bin location in a warehouse. The one field could look something like
"OVER-1A". I want the user to be able to key in just the letter "O"
in a field on the subfile screen and have the subfile display starting
with the records that begin with "O" and going from there. Is it just
as simple as doing a SETLL with the "O" as the key and it will read
the records from there on or is there more to it than that? Any info is as always
appreciated. Thanks!

Bill
