Hi Daniel

I thought there was more we can do, and I think I found it in a option keyword of the SFLRCDNBR keyword -

If * TOP is specified, the subfile record whose relative record number is identified by the contents of this field will display as the first record of the page of the subfile records being displayed.

I think if you know the page size, you can make this work, especially with an all-record subfile.

Maybe?

AFAIK you cannot Position a line at the bottom - it would only work, if the line would be on the bottom, if you were paging from the start.

The subfile position is determined by a record number, but it only guarantees that this record number is displayed on the screen - not exactly where on the screen.

As others suggested - if you need some sort of latest record first, try a descending order - maybe using dynamic SQL, so you only have to change the order clause and reload the subfile - without any further RPG logic involved.

Subject: Display last item of SFL

Hello Sages

I need to display several screens worth of a SFL and would like to first
display
the last SFL screen with the last item at the bottom line of that screen.
the user may then Page-Up to see previous items.
I've done such things in the (hazy) past but I fail to remember/locate a
working
PGM/DSPF.

I would appreciate any advice/example

TIA
Gad
