When done as a display file, locally defined record formats need to be

when you're writing to a subfile and reading from a subfile. You need
separately defined record formats. It really makes an already complex
situation with subfiles that much worse. That's why I abandoned locally
defined files.

Starting at 6.1, for display files, including subfiles, you can define your
data structures with *ALL and use the same data structure for all your I/O.
