Re: Subfile question - Position To functionality

Jeff, Dave

Bill didn't say that he was entering the "O" into a field on the subfile
record, just into a field on the "subfile screen" that would be used to
position the start of the subfile. Although not explicitly stated as in
the subfile control format I would imagine that is what he meant.

All the best

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.

Yes, it is a simple as that. I do such partial key positioning all the
time and it works just as you've described it. However, I don't use a
field in the subfile as a position-to field in this case. I use a
position-to field in the subfile control header format. But, there is
nothing that says you can't do it from the subfile. The only difference is
in how you get that value back from the screen.

Sincerely,

Dave Clark
