How to create a subfile

[jamief]

Steps to building a subfile

So on command line type this first (we need data)

DSPOBJD OBJ(QSYS/ADD*) OBJTYPE(*CMD)
OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QGPL/ADDCMDS)

now we have all commands that start with ADD in a table (ADDCMDS) in library QGPL.


The subfile simple is better to start:

Review subfile DDS attached and ask questions in you next post
This is a subfile with a function key record and a message subfile.
It has SLFSIZ and SFLPAG different sizes which forces the system to control Page Up. We need only work about Page Down

Review the DDS keywords specifically

• SFLSIZ(0011)
• SFLPAG(0010)
• RTNCSRLOC(&#REC &#FLD)
• SFLCSRRRN(&WHERE)
• SFLDSP
• SFLDSPCTL
• SFLCLR
• SFLRCDNBR

We will go over the message subfile later
Download the attachment to your AS400 and compile.
Ask questions to proceed. This is of type DSPF
