We solve this with a keyed dataqueue in the QTEMP. As key we use the key fields of the file (to accomplish the sort sequence) and the relative record no. As data we store the option a user inserted. If we read a record to fill the subfile, we try to receive a data queue entry for this record. If no entry is found, the option is set to *Blanks, if an entry is found the appropriate option is returned. At page up or page down or positioning at the begin (F17) or end (F18) of the file or any other positioning, we first do a readc and store the options in the data queue and after we fill the subfile page. If enter is pressed, we receive all data queue entries beginning with the smallest key and process the appropriate task. If F12 is pressed, we fill the subfile page again, beginning with the record where the option was cancelled. All other options stay stored in the data queue. In this way a user even can position on the first record and after on the last record in a file with more than 9999 records without any performance problems.

The technique looks quite simple. Each time the user press the PageDown key, or the alternate key associated to the PageDown action, the program takes the control and fills the next subfile page. But if the user press the PageUp key, the system handles it. There is limitations about this technique. The number of records the subfile can contain is still limited to 9999. What if my file contains about 300 000 entries and a maniac user tries to scroll down to the end of the file? In the other hand, if I use a subfile with SFLSIZ = SFLPAG, how can I trap multiple selection in the subfile. I mean, what if the user selects a record in one page, press the PageDown key, and selects another record in that page? If I clear the subfile each time the user press the PageUp or PageDown key, the READC won't see the selected records from the previous pages, only the ones in the current page, isn't it? What's bugging me is the limited size of a self-extending subfile and the case of a multiple selection between pages. Is there a way to have a self-extending subfile that can be greater than 9999 records and handles the selection of multiple records through different pages?
