RE: Back to the wayback machine - who remembers subfiles?

["Fisher, Don" <DRF@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The easiest way would be to set SFLSIZ to 70 and have the program load 70
blank lines into the subfile.

Having said that, the way I prefer to do it is to set SFLSIZ to one greater
than SFLPAG, define ROLLUP and SFLEND as conditioned by the opposite value
of the same indicator, and load one page of records at a time with no
maximum other than 9,999.  The display file will then handle rollup and
rollback for all loaded entries.

Hope that helps.

I'd like to double the number of entries and still leave the screen handling
under the control of the display file.  I can't for the life of me figure
out how to do it.  I tried simply bumping SFLSIZ to 70, but when I do that,
I can't use the roll keys.  So I added the ROLLUP and ROLLDOWN keys, and, as
I expected, hitting a roll key acts in the program as if I hit enter.  I
don't want to return to the program, I simply want to roll back and forth
through the two pages.
