Re: Subfile question

Timeout with a multi-page subfile: set the display file with an INVITE,
include MAXDEV(*FILE) in your DCL-F statement, WRITE the control record,
READ the file, and check the display file status for 01331 (timeout)
immediately after the READ.

I have a load all subfile. I want to add a timeout. I have added it, and
it works. However, when testing this, I noticed that when I press Page
down or Page up the program does not receive a response from the
workstation, and so, even though the user is "using" the program, the
program is not detecting it.

Working as designed with a load all subfile..

Pressing enter returns control to the
program, and it does not timeout. But users are accustomed to pressing
page down or page up to navigate the subfile and when using just those,
the program performs a timeout prematurely. Is there any way to get a
pagedown/page up to return to the program using a load all subfile?

Nope, sounds like you should consider a page-at-a-time subfile if you want
to keep the timeout.
