Read records sequentially from a subfile

Yes, you can read records sequentially from a subfile, but you would do it using the CHAIN operation because a subfile is a 'direct' file. That means that a subfile is accessed using its relative record numbers.

So to read the subfile, use the subfile record number field you defined on the F-spec for the display file in a DO or FOR loop, starting at value 1 and ending at the last record number in the subfile -- you should know that value through having loaded the subfile in the first place.

You code would look like this :

 C                   For       ##SFR3 = 1 to LastRec 
C     ##SFR3        Chain (E) #SFL3         
                           : 
                           : 
                           : 
C                   Update    #SFL3 
C                   EndFor         

Between the Chain and the Update you can do what you like!
