Hi Jerry,

You might want to check the "Subfile question - Position To functionality" thread, happening now on this very same mailing list. Check Booth Martin's post today at 9:54am PST:

In the end, I did this with an SQLRPGLE program, mostly because SQL has such a fantastic wildcard search capability. This allows the users to search by unique characters - both "ABC" and "Toy" will get "The ABC Toy Company". Plus, with SQL it can be case-insensitive. I would add this: this is more than position-to. Its selecting only desired records.

Making the switch from "position-to" to "filter" can actually make your program a lot more useful.
