Re: Subfile question - Position To functionality

Thanks for the replies......let me throw another wrinkle in this if I may.
Instead of a file in this case, I have a qualified array that holds my
locations. Like this:

dlocarray ds dim(1600) qualified
d brch 2
d loc 8

"BRCH" is always constant and the "LOC" field is the location. So
basically I have an array that holds all the locations. My thinking was I
could search the array with the %LOOKUPGT BIF and it would find the next
one greater than what the user positions to. But the compiler doesn't like
the following:

eval n = %lookupgt(scpos:locarray(*).loc)

"SCPOS" would be the screen field that the user keys in to position the
subfile. But I can't get the syntax right for how I can search the
locations that are in the array. I get the following compiler errors:

*RNF0571 20 1 The second parameter for %LOOKUPxx is not valid.

*RNF5343 30 1 Array has too many omitted indexes; specification is
ignored.

Thoughts?

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
