Q. I have designed a subfile program and am losing the last character of the last subfile record on every page, because the system inserts the plus sign (+) to indicate the presence of additional subfile pages. Since the last page doesn't show the plus sign, is there a way to make the subfile display that missing last character? The last field on the screen is a date, and it shows as 4/10/9 instead of 4/10/93. The other screens I can live with, but I would like the last one to show the whole year.
A. The only thing you need to do is make sure the rightmost field in the subfile record doesn't end in column 79 or 80 and you'll be fine. If you have V2R2 installed, an alternative solution is available. You can use SFLEND(*MORE), which places "More..." on the line below the bottom line of the subfile (as opposed to the "+", which goes on the same line as the last line of subfile information).
