is there any alternative for subfiles in AS/400?

Yes, but why not use subfiles? They are very good at what they are intended to be used for.

Arguably you could use an array of large fields and lay the data out using a data structure. I used that technique a LONG time ago when I worked on the S/36, but it was relatively difficult.

IBM i on Power Systems: For when you can't afford to be out of business!

I'm riding in the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure to raise money for diabetes research, education, advocacy, and awareness. You can make a tax-deductible donation to my ride by visiting https://mideml.diabetessucks.net.

You can see where my donations come from by visiting my interactive donation map ... https://mideml.diabetessucks.net/map (it's a geeky thing).

I may have diabetes, but diabetes doesn't have me!
