>All this talk of subfiles has me thinking--- > >I'd like to hear some views on techniques used when SFLSIZ=SFLPAG. >Wynn Osborne I like using SFLSIZ = SFLPAG. Although I haven't coded any -new- programs using the technique in a while, here's what I remember: You fill a single page at a time. When the user rolls, the system reads more data for the subfile. Saves programming, is economical of system resources, is quick (ie no long waits to load 37,432 records into a subfile). If the data you want is far down the list of data, you will need to code either a 'position to,' or have the user key the starting location before you start loading the subfile. --Paul E Musselman PaulMmn@ix.netcom.com +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
