READ does not read

[TedHolt]

I just ran into behavior I've never seen before.

An OPM COBOL program does this:

WRITE a format that puts a command key legend on line 23.
WRITE a subfile control format that overlays the screen.
READ the subfile format.

The program goes into a loop. I never see a screen. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Re: READ does not read

Never mind. I had WRITE instead of WRITE SUBFILE when adding records to the subfile. The WRITE was failing, which means the subfile was empty.
