Re: Fwd: main difference between expandable and singlepage subfile

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Historically data traveled at much slower rates.  IBM needed a means to 
get that first screen of data in front of a user asap and thus the 
expandable subfile was born.  Programmers could push out the first 
screen or two of data quickly, and then as the user paged up/down, new 
screens could be added as needed.  With the ability to add filters and 
starting points a user would rarely need to scroll more than a few 
screens.  All in all a win-win for everyone.  Cumbersome for the 
programmer, yes, but it saved tons of band width.

With today's speeds and drill-downs the expandable subfile becomes, in 
my opinion, anachronistic.
