Re: Positioning cursor on a subfile record

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My understanding is that the subfile will redisplay to the page that 
holds the SFLRCDNBR.  I believe it will not put that record as the first 
line displayed, nor will it place the cursor on that record.

For example, as I understand it, lets say you have a 10-line page and a 
150 row subfile.  If you make SFLRCDNBR = 47 then the display will show 
the 5th page beginning with subfile record 41, and the cursor will be 
positioned at the top of the page at subfile record 41.

From what you have described, SFLFMSG is the easiest way to go.
