Clearing subfiles

A          R D@NDT1                     TEXT('No data in subfile') 
A                                       OVERLAY PUTOVR             
A                                 12 30' '              

The line number must be within the subfile start/end line range. The blank constant could be an actual field, and it does not have to be blank (if you use a field with PUTOVR specified at the record level, specify OVRDTA at the field level).

The code would look something like this (where indicator *In14 is OFF if the subfile is empty) :

C                   Write     D@FOOT                                     Footer 
C                   Write     D@MSGCTL                                   Messages 
C  N14              Write     D@NDT1                                     No Subfile 
C                   Exfmt     D@SF1C                                     Screen
