Re: Is it possible to have a dspf window with 2 subfiles?

Just to throw my 2 cents in the ring.

While having multiple subfiles on a page/window is possible the coding can
be complex to get paging and function keys operating exactly as required.

Using subfile size equal to subfile page allows conditioning of fields
and we have made one subfile look like two and use cursor position to
identify where the user is on the page to control what happens when a
page/function key is used.

If you think of the F15 browse another member in SEU that looks like two
subfiles but we built out help text maintenance to look just like that
with one subfile and it was much simpler than having two subfiles.

Always worth thinking outside the box!

Cheers
Don

Replace the green screen with web and you can easily have several sub
files.

Hi

I believe the OP was asking about multiple subfiles in a window - I
think it is the same as full screen, and replies have come that suggest
it is doable.

4 subfiles in a window would be a stretch, eh? Or require quite a

stretche!

Yes, you can have multiple subfiles on one page. Some time ago, I had
