Re: SFLLIN keyword

["John McKay" <jmckay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

SFLCSRPRG will operate as described within a record format - it will not 
cross over record fromats.  WIth SFLLIN, you are writing a separate record 
format each time.  Also SFLCSRPRG is not allowed with SFLLIN - the compile 
fails.

I would not use SFLLIN here.  Instead I would use the SFLSIZ > SFLPAG, and 
protect and non-display the empty fields.  Messy programming, but it 
achieves the result.
