Re: thanks hamberg: prob in deleting records using a subfile from a pf. -- MIDRANGE-L

More on UIM from 10 years ago - here are some articles by Bryan Meyers about it:

http://www.bmeyers.net/pdfs/article199412.pdf
http://www.bmeyers.net/pdfs/article199411.pdf
http://www.bmeyers.net/pdfs/article199410.pdf
http://www.bmeyers.net/pdfs/article199409a.pdf
http://www.bmeyers.net/pdfs/article199407.pdf

And in general for his published stuff
http://www.bmeyers.net/published.php

UIM is very good for help text and for menus - I prefer it to the DSPF-type 
menus actually - the look is closer to real iSeries. But I agree that DDS DSPFs 
are easier for most apps, like list panels.
