I think you hit on the right track. Now I am thinking there is an issue
with ACS not handling SFLLIN(), SFLMLTCHC, and update subfile.

I need to play more, but I changed from *DS3 to *DS4, changed SFLLIN(2)
to SFLLIN(5), and *NOSLTIND to SLTIND and several things happened.
First, everything displayed as I hoped it would. Yeah. Then clicking on
column 1, 2, & 3 worked. Yeah. Column 4 clicks failed. Dang.
*NOSLTIND, which is what I desired, is not clickable. Dang.

I haven't a Client Access client installed so have no idea if that
works. In any event, I have something to work with now so at least I am
not stuck in the muck.

You could try tn5250j http://tn5250j.sourceforge.net/ just to confirm
where the error lies, or tn5250 http://tn5250.sourceforge.net/ or there
is also an android version available. I've not tried it and its a cut
down version with some limits - but not show stoppers - unless you pay.
Any of these should give a quick and easy way to see if its ACS or some
combination of options that is conflicting. (It should be noted that I
have never used selection and/or some of the more advanced 5250 options
in a display file, so not entirely sure if the aforementioned 5250
emulators, barring the android one, handle them.)

Just one other point of note, I vaguely recall having problems by
forgetting that a field ending on the last available position conflicts
with the first position on the next line (and/or with "window"
borders)... its been a while now however so I can't recall the details,
just that there was some issue.

Thank you Paul.

Would SFLLIN(3) work? Wondering about display byte before and after each
subfile record.
