Cobol/AS400 assistance

[Uvaiz]

Hello everyone,

I have a developed a COBOL program on AS400 using a display file to display user selected information.

In my DSPF screen file I have indicated SFLSIZ(200) and SFLPAG(10). Whilst the 10 records are displayed on screen in each refresh but total records read does not exceed 99 even though the Subfile size is set at 200. When I use AS400 query on the index file the records for the user selected criteria shows about 150 records.

Would someone kindly explain why the screen does not display all records (max is 99) despite the subfile size is increased.

Thank you,
Tony

You need to give a lot more information than that, but more importantly how are you loading the records into the subfile.

As you are saying that the records stop at 99 I dear to say that the variable you are using as subfile relative record number is set to a PIC 99. You need to increase this.

Hello Frederico,

You are indeed great. As suggested I had restricted relative record number to stop at 99. Incresed the variable and presto!!!!!!! it worked.

Your input is indeed appreciated. Thank you very much.

Thanks
Tony
